Sump Seal

About This Part

Bosch/Siemens Dishwasher Sump Seal Is your Bosch or Siemens dishwasher leaking water from the bottom, or have you noticed it's not draining properly? A worn sump seal is often the culprit. Over time, this crucial component deteriorates due to constant exposure to water and detergent, eventually failing and allowing water to escape where it shouldn't. This genuine sump seal (OEM reference 00165262) is a direct replacement that restores the watertight integrity of your dishwasher's sump area. Installing it is moderately straightforward and falls into the intermediate DIY range, typically taking an experienced homeowner between one and two hours. When fitting the new seal, make absolutely certain the seating surface is completely clean and dry before installation. Any residual debris or moisture can prevent a proper seal and cause the problem to persist. This is an essential replacement if your appliance shows signs of general wear and water leakage. Before ordering, please verify your dishwasher's E-Nr model number matches our compatibility information to ensure you're purchasing the correct part for your specific machine.
