Bosch Dishwasher Basket Rail Clip

1. Remove the Upper Basket Assembly

Start by sliding the upper basket assembly all the way out of the dishwasher and lifting it clear. This gives you clean access to the end of each side rail, where the clips sit.

2. Locate the Basket Rail Clips

With the basket removed, look at the ends of both side rails. There is one clip on the left rail and one on the right rail. These small plastic clips stop the upper basket assembly wheels from running off the end of the rail when you slide the basket out.

3. Remove the Old Clips

To remove each clip, unclip it from the end of the rail and pull it straight away. Repeat on the opposite side so both of the old clips are off.

4. Identify the New Clips

Unpackage your new clips. Each one is marked with a letter on the side: L is for the left side rail and R is for the right side rail. Check the marking before fitting so each clip goes on the correct side.

5. Install the New Clips

The fitting process is the same for both clips. Line the new clip up with the end of the rail and push it into position, making sure it clicks firmly into place. Repeat on the other side with the matching L or R clip.

6. Reinsert the Basket Assembly

Slide the upper basket assembly back onto the rails. Push it all the way in, then pull it gently forwards to check that the new clips stop the basket wheels at the end of the rail as they should.
