Bosch 00166635 Dishwasher Actuator

Dishwasher Actuator – Bosch

The dishwasher actuator is a mechanical component that physically triggers a switch or valve inside the dishwasher — commonly used to activate the door switch, diverter valve, or detergent dispenser mechanism at the correct point in the wash cycle. When the actuator breaks or wears out, the component it triggers may not activate at all, causing the cycle to fail, the door to remain unlatched, or dispensing to be missed. This direct-replacement actuator restores correct mechanical triggering and cycle operation.
