When the detergent dispenser on your Bosch dishwasher fails, dishes come out greasy, spotted, and uncleaned — every cycle. Part 00490467 is the OEM detergent dispenser that controls soap and rinse aid release during the wash cycle. Unfortunately, Bosch has permanently discontinued this part. If you're holding a broken unit and need a path forward, contact XPart Supply — we may have used stock or can advise on compatible alternatives.
⚠ Symptoms of a Failed Detergent Dispenser
- Dishwasher not dispensing soap — detergent door stays closed during cycle
- Dishes coming out dirty, greasy, or with food residue after a full wash
- Rinse aid not being released — spots and streaks on glassware
- Detergent door broken, cracked, or won't latch shut
- Dispenser door spring broken or hinge snapped
- Wax motor or bi-metal actuator failed — door won't open on cue

Before replacing the full dispenser assembly, confirm whether the failure is the wax motor/actuator or the door latch — these are often the root cause. If the actuator is the issue, a compatible aftermarket actuator may restore function without sourcing the full discontinued assembly. Contact XPart Supply and describe your failure mode — we'll help you find the most cost-effective path.
