The Lower Dishrack Assembly is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers. This assembly holds the dishes, utensils, and other items to be cleaned on the lower level of the dishwasher. It is designed to slide in and out smoothly, providing easy access for loading and unloading.

Over time, the lower dishrack can become worn out or damaged due to frequent use, exposure to high temperatures, and the weight of the items placed on it. Causes of a bad lower dishrack include broken or missing wheels, rust, and damage to the rack's frame or coating.

Symptoms of a bad lower dishrack include:

• Difficulty sliding the rack in and out
• Rust or corrosion on the rack
• Broken or missing tines
• Items not staying in place during the wash cycle

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

The Float Assembly is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers. This part prevents water from overfilling and potentially leaking onto the kitchen floor.

Symptoms of a malfunctioning Float Assembly include:

• The dishwasher not filling with water properly
• Water overflowing from the dishwasher
• The dishwasher not starting due to the float being stuck in the "full" position
