263096 Generic Dishwasher Tub Gasket suits Bosch Dishwashers, Cavity Door Seal to Suit Bosch 00263096

Part 263096 is a generic dishwasher tub gasket made to suit Bosch dishwashers that use seal 00263096. It's a compatible aftermarket seal, not a Bosch part. The gasket fits around the opening of the wash cavity and seals against the door when it closes. Check your old seal's number, or compare its profile and length, before ordering, as Bosch has used several tub seal designs.

Water leaking from the dishwasher door

The tub gasket is what stops water spraying out between the door and the wash cavity. Years of heat, detergent and grease make the rubber harden, shrink or split, and it can also get torn by a basket or stray cutlery. Signs it's failing include water on the floor in front of the dishwasher, wet marks under the door, steam escaping at the top or sides during a cycle, and visible gaps or flattened sections in the seal. Before replacing it, clean the gasket and check the door is closing evenly.

Fitting a dishwasher tub gasket

Switch off at the wall and make sure the tub is cool and dry. Pull the old gasket out of its channel, starting at one end, and clean the channel of grime. Press the new gasket in evenly so you don't stretch it, and check it sits fully in the channel along its whole length with no twists. Run a cycle and check for leaks.
