Bosch Dishwasher Water Inlet Valve Parts — Models & Compatibility

When your Bosch dishwasher won't fill with water or fills too slowly, the water inlet valve is usually the culprit. This hub covers the 607335 replacement valve that fits dozens of Bosch, Thermador, and select Kenmore dishwasher models. Whether you've got a SHE series or an SHU model, you'll find compatibility details and replacement guidance here.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

Your model number is stamped on a label inside the dishwasher door frame. Open the door and look along the top edge or on the side of the door opening — you'll see a code like "SHE4AM12UC/01" or "SHU66C06UC/14". Match your exact model number against the compatibility list below before ordering. The 607335 valve replaces original Bosch part numbers 00607335, AP4070550, and PS3477055.

About This Replacement Part

The water inlet valve controls water flow into your dishwasher during the fill cycle. It's an electrically-operated solenoid valve that opens when the control board sends power to it. When this valve fails, you'll typically see one of three symptoms: no water entering the tub at all, very slow filling that causes cycle errors, or continuous filling that can lead to leaks. The valve sits at the bottom left rear of most Bosch dishwasher cabinets, connected to your home's water supply line and the internal spray arm system. This replacement valve is designed to match OEM specifications and includes the mounting bracket and electrical connections you need for a direct swap.

Compatible Model Series

This valve fits primarily Bosch SHE and SHU series dishwashers manufactured between 2008 and 2016, along with corresponding Thermador models and select Kenmore-branded units built by Bosch. Check your specific model number in the list below to confirm fitment.

Installation Overview

Replacing the water inlet valve requires shutting off your home's water supply, disconnecting the supply line, removing the lower kickplate and access panel, and swapping the valve assembly. You'll need basic tools including an adjustable wrench, screwdrivers, and a towel to catch residual water. Most DIYers complete this repair in 30-45 minutes once they have the part in hand.

Why This Part Fails

Water inlet valves fail due to mineral buildup from hard water, worn rubber diaphragms inside the valve body, or electrical solenoid burnout. If you live in an area with hard water, sediment can clog the valve screen over time. The internal rubber components also degrade after years of hot water exposure and pressure cycling, eventually preventing proper sealing or opening.
