This arrived well packaged and looks identical to the original one that it was replacing. The dishwasher is about 12 years old and is used extensively for a family of four. One day it just stopped washing the items, I could hear and see water going in to the dishwasher and being pumped out again but nothing was being sprayed around the inside. It took me some digging around to figure out what part I needed to replace as Bosch doesn't make getting the service manuals easy.
I've got to say that installing it was not for the faint of heart, I repair most everything in the house as I am an engineer and a cheapskate but installing this had me cursing a few times. If you search around there are a few very useful YouTube videos for installing it, but they don't begin to explain the need for 8 hands and immense patience, neither of which I am equipped with. You basically have to disassemble the whole dishwasher which isn't too bad, but getting the pump out and putting the new one back in is a whole different thing with pipes and wires determined to block your every move. Anyway I wasn't going to let it win. And about two hours after I started I had it back together and turned it on. Pump sprung into action and has been working great for the last 2 months. I almost wish I had replaced the drain pump while I was in there, as knowing my luck that will go out within a couple of months and it is exactly the same procedure to get to it as it was to get to the main circulation pump. It was not a cheap dishwasher so if I can get another 12 years out of it I'll be happy.
