Bosch Lower Door Seal 00298534 OEM Part

The Lower Door Seal plays a crucial role in upholding your dishwasher’s efficiency by preventing water leakage. This part, an authentic OEM replacement, fits various Bosch dishwashers and is compatible with brands such as Thermador and Gaggenau. Constructed from rubber, it acts as a protective barrier against moisture and debris along the bottom edge of the dishwasher door.

Over time, elements like dry rot or cracking may affect the rubber's performance. Additionally, food residue or mineral build-up can hinder the seal's ability to close completely.

Signs of a dysfunctional lower door seal can vary. They might include water accumulation, leaks, or increased humidity inside the dishwasher, potentially leading to inadequate drying. Other indications may involve errors from moisture sensors or difficulty in securely closing and latching the dishwasher door.

This replacement seal is also appropriate for select models from Thermador, Gaggenau, and Kenmore that utilize the same seal configuration.
