This turbidity sensor detects how clear the dishwasher's wash water is so the control can adjust cycle time, rinses, and water changes. Replacing a faulty sensor helps restore proper cleaning performance and normal cycle lengths.

• Monitors soil level/clarity of the wash water
• Signals the control to extend or shorten wash and rinse phases as needed
• Helps optimize water use while maintaining cleaning results
• Failure symptoms can include unusually long or short cycles, poor cleaning, repeated draining/refilling, or cycles that won't advance

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Pull the dishwasher out as needed; access the sensor from the base area
• Place a towel to catch residual water; release the locking tab or twist-lock, unplug the connector, and install the new sensor fully seated and locked
• Restore power/water and run a test cycle; check for leaks

The Dispenser is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers. It dispenses detergent and rinse aid at appropriate times during the dishwashing cycle, ensuring optimal cleaning and rinsing performance. The dispenser is essential for maintaining the efficiency and effectiveness of your dishwasher.

Causes of a bad dispenser can include clogging from detergent residue, mechanical failure of the dispenser door or latch, or electronic issues that prevent proper operation. Regular cleaning and maintenance can help mitigate these problems, but parts may still need replacement over time.

Symptoms of a bad dispenser include:

• Inconsistent or improper dispensing of detergent or rinse aid
• Dishwasher leaving spots or residue on dishes
• The dispenser door not opening during the cycle
• Leaks or drips from the dispenser area

The dishwasher float switch chamber assembly monitors water levels in your dishwasher tub to prevent overfilling. The float rises with water level and activates a switch to stop water flow when proper level is reached. Replace this assembly if your dishwasher overfills, won't fill with water, or if you notice water leaking from the unit.

The Control Unit is an OEM component specifically designed for select Bosch dishwashers. It directs all cycle functions through an integrated circuit board and wiring harness. Precise monitoring optimizes cleaning results.  

Symptoms of a faulty control unit involve cycles failing to complete, or washing/drying not commencing as selected. Water leaks from long-term interior dampness exposure require replacement.

Symptoms of a bad control unit include:

• Partial or incomplete cycles leaving dishes unclean
• Inoperative cycle/setting buttons and unresponsive display  
• Faulty cycle monitoring resulting in improper cleaning    

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