The Dishwasher Hinge Lever is an OEM replacement part for Bosch dishwashers. This hinge lever is crucial for the operation of the dishwasher door, supporting smooth movement as it opens and closes. It works alongside the door springs to provide balanced tension, ensuring that the door stays securely in place when opened or closed.
Over time, hinge levers may wear out due to regular use, strain from overloading the door, or corrosion from prolonged exposure to moisture. A damaged hinge lever can disrupt the door’s movement, leading to issues with opening, closing, or improper sealing of the dishwasher door.
Symptoms of a bad Dishwasher Hinge Lever include:
- Difficulty opening or closing the dishwasher door
- The door dropping open without resistance
- A loose or sagging door that won’t stay securely in place
- Unusual noises when moving the door
This OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and some Kenmore models.
