The 00494772 is the OEM door seal (door gasket) for a wide range of Bosch, Siemens, Gaggenau, and Neff dishwashers. This rubber gasket runs around the perimeter of the dishwasher tub opening and creates a watertight seal when the door is closed. When it cracks, hardens, tears, or pulls away from its channel, water leaks from the bottom or sides of the door during the wash cycle. This is a direct OEM replacement for 494772. Note: this part number has been superseded by 12054183 — the updated version is available and recommended.

The door seal sits in a retaining channel around the inner perimeter of the tub opening. When the door closes, it compresses against the seal to create a watertight barrier. The seal must maintain consistent contact pressure around its entire perimeter — any crack, deformation, or gap allows water to escape. On Bosch dishwashers, the door seal is a common wear item, particularly on units over 5 years old where the rubber has hardened from repeated heat cycling.

✓ Common Symptoms Fixed

This seal directly resolves: water leaking from the bottom or sides of the dishwasher door, puddles on the floor in front of the dishwasher during a wash cycle, visible cracks or tears in the door gasket, and sections of the seal that have pulled away from the retaining channel.

Clean the channel with a damp cloth to remove debris or old rubber residue. Starting at the bottom center, press the new seal firmly into the channel, working around the perimeter. Ensure the seal is fully seated with no gaps or lifted sections. Close the door and run a short cycle to test for leaks. Total time: 15–20 minutes. No tools required.
