The outer door is an OEM component specifically designed for Bosch dishwashers. The outer door acts as a protective barrier, shielding internal components from potential damage while providing users access to loading and unloading dishes.
Causes of a bad outer door can include dents, scratches, or cracks that compromise the integrity of the barrier. Warping of the door can also occur from prolonged exposure to heat and steam during the wash cycle.
Symptoms of a bad outer door include:
- Gaps or openings appearing around the door sealing the surface
- The door not closing or latching properly
- Excess moisture or water leakage from within the dishwasher
- Impaired thermal insulation properties reducing cleaning effectiveness
This OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and some Kenmore models.
