How to Reinstall the Upper Feed Tube on Bosch Dishwashers
Bosch dishwashers have bottom and top spray arms that dispense water to the dishes on both racks during a cleaning cycle. These arms each have a feed tube that is connected to the pump motor within the bottom of the appliance. If the upper spray tube is leaking, remove the old tubing and install a new upper feed tube. Bosch sells some parts for its appliances online. Does this Spark an idea?
