🧩 Compatibility Notes
-
This seal fits many Bosch dishwashers that list part number 166637 (or its replacement 00166637) in their parts breakdown. Parts Warehouse+1
-
Always verify your dishwasher’s model number and serial number, then reference its parts diagram or service sheet to ensure compatibility.
-
Inspect the current seal’s shape, mounting groove, and dispenser interface to confirm a correct match in size and mounting style.
-
If other dispenser components (door hinges, latch, detergent cartridge) are damaged, replacing the seal alone may not fully restore function. Considering a technician check may be wise.
