Thermador Dishwasher Handle

The Detergent Cup Latch W Spring is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers. This latch securely closes the detergent dispenser cup, containing detergent during the wash cycle.

Causes of a bad latch can include wear and fatigue of the latching spring over many uses.

Symptoms of a bad detergent cup latch include:

• The cup popping open unexpectedly during a wash
• Difficulty fully closing and hearing the "click" of the latch
• Detergent leakage resulting in reduced cleaning

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

This door latch and strike plate secure the door closed and engage the safety interlock so the appliance can start and run reliably. Replacing a worn latch restores consistent door closure and prevents nuisance cycle interruptions.

• Locks the door by engaging the strike, keeping it closed during operation
• Ensures the door-closed interlock/microswitch is actuated so cycles can start
• Helps prevent the door from popping open mid-cycle
• Common symptoms: door won't latch or stay closed, unit won't start, cycle stops when the door is jostled

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Open the door and remove the inner-panel screws to access the latch area
• Remove the old latch/strike; align and install the new components
• If your model uses a separate microswitch, transfer/reuse it as required and test door engagement before reassembly

This door latch cover is a direct-fit replacement trim piece that protects and conceals the dishwasher door latch assembly while restoring a finished appearance. Keeps the latch area tidy and helps ensure the door closes cleanly. What it does:

• Covers and protects the door latch mechanism from debris and wear
• Helps the door latch engage and the door sit flush when closed
• Restores the appliance's cosmetic finish around the latch area
• Can address symptoms such as a loose-looking latch area or an unsealed door edge

• Disconnect power to the appliance before installing; follow lockout/tagout practices
• Basic hand tools (screwdriver or trim tool) are typically required to remove the old cover
• Align the new cover over the latch assembly and snap or fasten into place per OEM diagram
• If the latch mechanism or strike is damaged, replace those parts as needed for full repair
