Thermador Dishwasher Switch

Best Seller
Thermador Float Switch
Genuine Bosch part
By: Bosch
Part Number: 00165256

The Float Switch is an OEM replacement part specific to Bosch dishwashers. It is a switch located in the sump area of the dishwasher tub that detects water levels and provides feedback for automatic filling and draining functions.

Symptoms of a bad float switch include:

  • The dishwasher fails to fully drain water after cycles
  • Cycles not initiating or advancing properly due to water level issues
  • Float switch area where the sensor attaches developing leaks
  • Loose or detached float switch from normal wear over time

Causes of a bad float switch are usually mineral or sediment buildup disrupting its buoyancy and sensing ability. Without a properly functioning float switch, the dishwasher cannot effectively monitor water levels to manage filling and drainage.

This OEM Bosch replacement switch is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and some Kenmore dishwasher models.

This part fixes the following symptoms
  • overflowing
  • Will not fill with water

Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You The switch stopped working   Kirk B. • Pelham , AL • March 24, 2014

Initially performed troubleshooting over the phone with Bosch customer support and did preliminary research on the web. Ultimately had to call out service technician to isolate/confirm problem. He confirmed the problem was most likely the switch (if not, the actually computer processor) and gave me the part number (since it was going to take 10 BD's for him to get the part). I ordered through Appliance Parts Pros and received the part in only 2 days. However, upon trying to install it, I... Read more

Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You Internal water leak on a bosch shu5316 uc/06 dishwasher   David B. • Aspinwall , PA • March 13, 2015

Using instructions I obtained over the internet, I first removed the DW's bottom cover panels so I could look inside the DW (with a flashlight) while it was running. I had to put their dishwasher through several wash cycles before I could pinpoint the location of the leak. (The water appeared to be coming from above on the left side of the DW, near the top, rear of the DW's blue "Pressure Chamber."

Thermador Actuator
Genuine Bosch part
By: Bosch
Part Number: 00166635

Wax motor for detergent/rinse-aid dispenser.

Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You Soap dispenser door wouldn't open   David H. • San Francisco , CA • May 15, 2015

Took door off, saw that dispenser linkage was ok, I could open and close by hand, so figured the wax motor or the wiring to it were most likely the problem. I took off the wax motor ( actuator) and ran 120 volts to it via jumper wires, and it did not move at all, so figured good chance that was the problem. Found part # on your site, received new one quickly from you, put it in and works great. Thanks. Read more
