What is this Bosch dishwasher part?

3 years ago

last modified: 3 years ago

My daughter was cleaning her Bosch dishwasher and found a bolt sitting loose in the bottom filter area. She sent me the photo below. I've never seen a piece of hardware quite like this. Can anyone identify the part or its function (or even if it is actually from the dishwasher)? Thanks.

There are seven variations listed, indicated by a trailing /06, /07, /08, /12, /14, /21, and /22. They're all essentially identical in construction. The differences may be control board version, pump motor wattage, or other such as that. I don't see the piece of question in checking the /06 and /14. Perhaps it's part of an assembly and thus not illustrated separately ... or it may not be related to the dishwasher. Did she perhaps wash a kitchen utensil from which it could have loosened?

It'd be helpful to cite the model number of the dishwasher so parts diagrams can be referenced for the item of question.

dadoes-

Thanks for doing that detective work. I'm starting to come to the conclusion that the bolt is from something other than the dishwasher.

Can she remember exactly what was in the last load, or go through her cabinets, looking at what it could have come through.

The bolt could have been sitting there loose for a long time. She just had a repairman out to fix a drainage problem, and he also thinks it's not a dishwasher part.
