The Water Inlet System is an OEM component specifically designed for select Bosch dishwashers. Comprising inlet valve, screens, hoses, and connectors, it precisely meters fresh water. Reliable flow prevents mineral buildups from impairing performance.

Causes of a bad water inlet system commonly involve bursting hoses or stripped connectors. Prolonged pressure weakens seals requiring timely replacement.

Symptoms of a faulty water inlet system include: 

- Fluctuating or absent water flow to spray arms
- Leaks forming inside or near the installation site
- Errors relating to improper water temperature or amounts  

Causes of a bad water inlet system involve typical degradation such as:

• Limescale clogging narrow valve openings
• Plumbing joint corrosion compromising integrity
• Splitting plastic tubing unable to withstand cycles

This OEM Bosch part is also compatible with some Miele, Blomberg, and Thermador dishwashers. 
 

The Screw is an OEM replacement part for Bosch dishwashers. Hundreds of screws hold the appliance panels and internal mechanisms securely in place. Consistent, protective enclosures ensure long-lasting performance.

Causes of a bad screw can include stripped threads from repeated tightening/loosening during repairs. Corrosion posing integrity risks may develop if water penetrates screw heads over time. 

Symptoms of a bad screw include: 

• Panels or racks that rattle or come loose during operation
• Gaps appear that allow residual moisture to seep within
• Internal components shifting position from the original assembly
• Loose wiring susceptible to abrasion posing electrical hazards

This OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and some Kenmore models.

The Water Inlet Fill Hose is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers. This part is responsible for safely and efficiently connecting the dishwasher to your home's water supply, ensuring that water flows into the dishwasher at the correct pressure and volume for optimal cleaning performance. 

Over time, the Water Inlet Fill Hose can become susceptible to wear and tear, leaks and blockages.

Symptoms indicating the need for a new Water Inlet Fill Hose include:

• Water pooling around the dishwasher base, pointing to a potential leak in the hose.
• The dishwasher not filling with water properly, or filling very slowly, suggesting a blockage or damage to the hose.
• A visible inspection reveals cracks, bulges, or signs of corrosion on the hose connectors.

This OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and some Kenmore models.

This factory fastener secures panels, brackets, or internal components in your appliance, helping keep assemblies tight and rattle-free. Replace missing or stripped screws to restore a secure fit and dependable operation.

• Fastens components to the appliance frame, chassis, or panel assemblies
• Helps maintain alignment and reduce vibration or rattling
• Replaces lost, rusted, or stripped screws during service
• Common signs it's needed: loose panel or handle, vibration noises, or parts that won't stay secured

• Disconnect power and shut off water or gas before servicing
• Match the screw's location and length to the original from your model
• Start threading by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening
• Use the correct driver type/size specified for your model's screw head

The Control Unit is an OEM part for Bosch dishwasher models. It incorporates the electronic circuits and microprocessors that govern cycles, temperatures, diagnostic tools and more.
