Bosch markets products through its Bosch, Thermador, and Gaggenau lines. The Push Button is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component specifically engineered for select Bosch dishwasher control panels to initiate cleaning cycles upon activation.
Constructed with durable polymer caps, this button is designed to endure frequent use without breaking. Its circuitry reliably detects presses, triggering the commencement of the cleaning operation.
Indications that a replacement may be necessary include:
- Inability to register selections, interrupting cleaning operations
- Loose attachments causing displacement of the button
- Distorted housings rendering switches inoperative
Replacement is commonly required due to gradual wear, compromising protective seals. Additionally, direct impacts can potentially harm attachment boards, necessitating complete assembly replacement.
This OEM Bosch push button is also suitable for certain Thermador, Gaggenau, and Kenmore dishwasher models incorporating electronic starts. Correct installation is critical to ensure the button's proper functionality.
