The Detergent Dispenser Seal is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers. Located inside the detergent dispenser compartment, it creates a water-tight barrier, preventing premature detergent dissolution and leaks. Working seamlessly with the dispenser system, the seal facilitates controlled detergent release for optimum cleaning performance cycle after cycle.
Causes for a bad detergent dispenser seal can include wear and tear from repeated use, deformations due to temperature fluctuations, and cracks or splits from general use.
Symptoms of a bad detergent dispenser seal include:
- Detergent residue or puddles inside the dishwasher
- Premature detergent dissolution before the main wash
- Leaks or drips from the dispenser area when closed
- Ineffective or inconsistent cleaning ability
This genuine Bosch detergent dispenser seal replacement will restore its water-tight barrier. It is also compatible with some Thermador, Siemens, and select Kenmore models.
