Bosch Dishwasher Wheels Cutlery Tray Side Support Left and Right

1. Remove the Cutlery Drawer and Old Supports

Unplug the dishwasher from the mains before starting any repair work. Start by pulling the top cutlery drawer (also known as the vario drawer) out of the dishwasher completely.

There's a side support on either side of the drawer. These ensure the cutlery drawer rolls along the guide rails smoothly. To remove each one, hold one of the wheels and pull the side support away from the drawer. They can sometimes be stiff.

2. Fit the New Side Supports

Unpack your new side supports. They're marked so you know which side is which — L1 means the left side and R1 means the right side. The process is the same for either one.

Line up the slot on the side support with the frame of the cutlery drawer, then click it firmly into place. Repeat on the other side.

3. Refit the Cutlery Drawer

Reattach the cutlery drawer by lining up the side supports with the guide rails inside the dishwasher, then slide it back in. Give it a test to make sure it slides in and out smoothly.

And that's it — your new cutlery tray side supports are fitted and your vario drawer should now slide smoothly. Need more Bosch dishwasher spare parts?
