Bosch Dishwasher Adjustable Foot/Leg
1. Locate and Remove the Old Feet
Unplug the dishwasher from the mains and carefully lean it onto its back, keeping some towels handy for any water that may escape. The two front adjustable feet are located on the underside at the front of the machine. Some Bosch dishwasher models also come with two rear corner feet, and the central foot is found in the middle at the rear.
The feet can be stiff to remove at first, so use a pair of pliers to help loosen them. Grip each foot and rotate it anticlockwise to unscrew and remove it. Repeat on the other side if both front feet need replacing.
2. Fit the New Feet
Unpack your new dishwasher feet. Place each foot into the thread in the base of the dishwasher and rotate it clockwise, using a pair of pliers to turn it easily and quickly.
Don't screw them all the way in at this stage — you need to leave enough of the foot exposed for your water pump pliers to grip when you adjust the height shortly.
3. Level the Front Feet
Stand the dishwasher back upright. With your water pump pliers, twist each front foot in the required direction to level the machine — rotate clockwise to raise the foot and anticlockwise to lower it.
4. Adjust the Rear Central Foot
You'll also need to adjust the rear central foot, which is set via a drive screw at the bottom rear of the dishwasher. Use a flathead screwdriver to turn it and raise or lower the central foot until your machine is sitting nice and level.
And that's it — your new dishwasher feet are fitted and your machine is level, ready to run quietly without vibration or drainage issues. Need more Bosch dishwasher spare parts?
