The Water Inlet System is an OEM component specifically designed for select Bosch dishwashers. Comprising inlet valve, screens, hoses, and connectors, it precisely meters fresh water. Reliable flow prevents mineral buildups from impairing performance. Causes of a bad water inlet system commonly involve bursting hoses or stripped connectors. Prolonged pressure weakens seals requiring timely replacement. Symptoms of a faulty water inlet system include:  - Fluctuating or absent water flow to spray arms - Leaks forming inside or near the installation site - Errors relating to improper water temperature or amounts   Causes of a bad water inlet system involve typical degradation such as: Limescale clogging narrow valve openings Plumbing joint corrosion compromising integrity Splitting plastic tubing unable to withstand cycles This OEM Bosch part is also compatible with some Miele, Blomberg, and Thermador dishwashers.Part Number 00263833 (AP2802392) replaces 00492043, 263833, 492043, 935594, AH3448258, EA3448258, PS3448258, PS8701946.
