The Sensor is an OEM replacement part for Bosch dishwashers. It detects soil levels through cycles, automatically adjusting water volumes and times for optimal cleaning. Precise sensing reduces overwashing.

Causes of a bad sensor involve general deterioration from continuous usage monitoring wash parameters thousands of times. Dirt or debris accumulation triggers false readings, decreasing efficiency.

Symptoms of a bad sensor include:

• Extended cycle times as improper inputs cause system delays  
• Inconsistent wash results relying on default static cycle settings
• Error codes displayed indicating disrupted functionality
• Soiled dishes from inadequate adjustments meant for heavier loads 

This OEM Bosch part maintains customized cleaning for Thermador versions as well.

The Detergent Dispenser Seal is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers. Located inside the detergent dispenser compartment, it creates a water-tight barrier, preventing premature detergent dissolution and leaks. Working seamlessly with the dispenser system, the seal facilitates controlled detergent release for optimum cleaning performance cycle after cycle. 

Causes for a bad detergent dispenser seal can include wear and tear from repeated use, deformations due to temperature fluctuations, and cracks or splits from general use.  

Symptoms of a bad detergent dispenser seal include:

• Detergent residue or puddles inside the dishwasher  
• Premature detergent dissolution before the main wash
• Leaks or drips from the dispenser area when closed
• Ineffective or inconsistent cleaning ability

This genuine Bosch detergent dispenser seal replacement will restore its water-tight barrier. It is also compatible with some Thermador, Siemens, and select Kenmore models.
