Genuine TECNIK Dishwasher Soap DISPENSER LID 166621 by Bosch

Kit makes replacing or fixing dispenserUsually I am not as successfulThis was made easy

I am glad I was able to get one of these, it works perfectly on my bosch dishwasher. It was a bit hard to get installed right and I had a hard time making it work until I realized you have to push down (towards the door) on the arrow till it clicks, duh, lol.

This is the soap dispenser door/lid only, not the spring or white/blue plastic locking cam or any other parts or instructions on installation, FYI, so just be aware. You can 'You Tube' the installation video and it is very quick and easy. You do have to 'slightly' bend the plastic with a common screwdriver. This lid is dark gray and seems like it is built well; time will tell as the original lid had a small plastic projection in each corner to keep it in the track and one broke off about 5 years ago which made the lid come off often. The original soap dispenser has not worked since new so many times we just added soap to the first cycle. This lid seems much sturdier than the original. It is all plastic so may be adversly affected by heat and detergent over time. I will update as needed. Be also aware that there is a minimal 20% restocking fee and postage cost to return it so if you get it you might as well keep it as a spare. It is not uncommon for these things to go bad. I recommend this, would buy again, and I hope this helps someone.Update 9-27-14: I was not able to use this as my spring latch (white piece, not included) seemed to be damged so I ended up calling for service and replacing the whole dispenser, which has changed in design due to problems with venting, as well as the lower rubber door seal. I DO recommend Bosch Dishwashers and ours has been hastle free for 15+ years, otherwise. The lid is good to have on hand for a Bosch soap dispenser so I still recommend, BUT it does just sit in a drawer and I may not find it if and when I need it, which happens to a lot of things I have saved 'just in case'. You do not need to use the soap/spot remover dispenser, but it needs to stay in place to prevent leaks, place spot-remover gel on the seal to reseat it if you do need to remove the whole dispenser unit.

We've had our Bosch Dishwasher for about 10 years now and the only problem we've had is the soap dispenser lid broke 2 years ago. Gets pretty hot in there. Ordered this replacement part, fit perfectly, thankfully we still had the spring. Installation was a breeze. 5 thumbs up !!!

A very affordable solution to a fairly simply problem. This part came in a reasonable amount of time (a few days) and it resolved the problem I was having with the dishwasher. I googled up a youtube video on how to replace the detergent lid and was done in less than 30 minutes, including watching the video a couple of times. The dishes now come out so much cleaner than before. The lid really is a critical part of the cycle.

Easy to install. Perfect replacement

It was exactly what I needed to fix my dishwasher.

Part fit fine and fixed the issue (soap dispenser wouldn't remain closed). Only complaint is the high price for a little piece of plastic $25 +
