Spe53u52uc/32 Parts

This operating module is the dishwasher's electronic control board that runs the user interface and manages wash cycles, displays, and touch/selection inputs for reliable cleaning performance. What it does:

• Controls cycle selection, start/pause, and display indicators
• Communicates with sensors and valves to sequence wash, drain, and dry functions
• Restores responsive touch/buttons and correct cycle reporting when a failed control causes no power or unresponsive controls
• Helps resolve intermittent errors, blank displays, or failure to start tied to the main user/control electronics

• Disconnect power at the breaker before inspecting or replacing the module
• Access typically requires removing the control panel; keep screws and panels organized
• Handle the board by edges and avoid static discharge; do not touch electronic contacts

This temperature sensor (thermistor) measures appliance temperature and sends a signal to the control board so the unit can maintain proper cooling cycles. Replaces a failed or intermittent sensor for more reliable temperature control. What it does:

• Detects internal temperature and provides a changing resistance signal to the control board
• Helps the control board regulate compressor and fan operation for consistent cooling
• Commonly linked to symptoms like incorrect temperatures, frequent cycling, or related error codes
• Works as a direct-replacement sensing element

• One temperature sensor (thermistor) as pictured

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or damage
• Handle the sensor and wiring gently; avoid kinking or pinching the harness
• Access may require removing interior panels or covers; keep mounting hardware for reinstallation
• Test with a multimeter or follow OEM service instructions before replacement

This retaining nut secures threaded connections on compatible Bosch appliances to keep components tight and stable during operation. A small replacement that restores proper fastening and prevents parts from loosening. What it does:

• Fastens and secures mating threaded components to maintain mechanical stability
• Prevents vibration-induced loosening of attached parts
• Helps maintain proper alignment of secured components during use
• Can stop intermittent movement or rattling caused by a missing or damaged nut

• Turn off and unplug the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Verify correct nut location and thread engagement before tightening; do not force threads
• Tighten to snug fit—avoid overtightening which can strip threads or damage components

This suspension damper stabilizes the tub/drum by absorbing movement and vibration during operation. Replacing a worn damper helps reduce shaking and noise, improving spin performance and overall machine stability. What it does:

• Absorbs and controls tub/drum movement to reduce vibration and noise
• Helps prevent banging, "walking," or out-of-balance shutdowns during spin
• Can address excessive shaking, rattling, and longer spin times
• Restores smoother, more controlled operation when the original damper is worn

• One suspension damper

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Access location varies by model; support the tub/drum to relieve load before removal
• Note orientation and reuse existing mounting hardware if new fasteners aren't provided
• After installation, re-level the appliance and run a test cycle to verify stability

This regeneration valve directs brine through your dishwasher's built-in water softener during recharge cycles, helping prevent hard-water film and spotting. Replacing a faulty valve restores consistent softening and better cleaning results.

• Opens to route salt brine through the ion-exchange resin during regeneration
• Helps maintain proper water hardness feeding the wash system
• Failure can lead to white film/spots, cloudy glassware, mineral buildup, and reduced cleaning
• Also contributes to inconsistent softener performance over time

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Access location varies by model; note hose routing and valve orientation during removal
• Inspect hoses and seals; replace if worn to prevent leaks
• Restore water/power and run a short cycle to check for leaks and proper operation

This water distributor routes wash water to the dishwasher's spray system, restoring proper circulation for thorough cleaning. It's a direct-replacement plumbing component used in compatible Bosch dishwasher models. What it does

• Directs incoming water to the spray arms and wash assembly for even distribution
• Helps restore normal spray pressure and coverage when the original distributor is damaged or clogged
• Works as the plumbing interface between the inlet/valve and internal wash components

• One water distributor

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before beginning service
• Handle plastic ports and mounting tabs carefully to avoid cracking; replace any worn seals or gaskets encountered
• Reassemble panels and test a short cycle to ensure proper water flow and no leaks

This small insert is a precision-fit piece that helps secure and align a mating component so it fits and functions properly. Replacing a worn or missing insert restores a solid connection and dependable operation. What it does:

• Provides a snug mounting/locating point for the related part
• Helps prevent looseness, rattling, or misalignment
• Restores proper fit after cracking, wear, or loss
• Common signs include a cracked or missing insert and parts that no longer stay in place

• 1 insert

• Disconnect power (and water supply, if applicable) before servicing
• Compare the new insert to your original to match and orientation
• Remove any broken fragments and clean the area before installation
• Press or snap into place carefully; do not force or overtighten any fasteners

This replacement door switch completes the appliance's door-sensing circuit so the unit only runs when the door is closed. It restores proper door-detection and helps the appliance start and stop reliably. What it does

• Detects door open/closed state and completes the electrical circuit when closed
• Prevents the appliance from running with the door open
• Can resolve symptoms like controls not responding, cycle not starting, or the unit stopping unexpectedly when the door is closed
• Works as the direct electrical interface between the door/latch and the control system

• One switch

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Access may require removing the control panel or door trim depending on model
• Handle wiring and connectors carefully; match wire locations before removal
