    • Appliantology Live Dojo, Saturday, 4/27/2024 @10 AM ET
      27 April 2024 02:00 PM Until 03:00 PM
      5  
      All Appliantology tech members are invited to join in this workshop on all things Appliantological. 
      We have a special session planned for this one. Instead of the usual Show 'n Tell on a technical topic, we're going to post tech sheets in the comments to this Calendar Event (scroll down to see what's posted so far) and ask specific questions that can only be answered by reading the tech sheet. If you at least try to answer the questions beforehand, you'll get a lot more out of it. The tech sheet and the questions are posted in the comments section below.
      Your mission, if you should choose to accept it, is to check out the questions for each one and try to answer them ahead of time. Then come to the Dojo to see how well you did! 
      Who: This workshop is only available to tech members at Appliantology.
      When: Saturday, April 27 @10:00 AM Eastern Time.
      Where: Online via Zoom
      How:
      Click here to go to the forum topic with the registration link. If you're interested, register now. Arrive a couple minutes early to make sure your connection is working. Set a reminder for yourself for this workshop so you don’t miss it.  And check out past workshops here: https://appliantology.org/announcement/33-webinar-recordings-index-page/

Broken plastic

My Bosch dishwasher has 8 buttons on the front control panel and I could not select anything. So I opened it up and the little tabs that operate the switch all broke off.

Not the button you see but the plastic arms on the control panel board case.

A replacement is out of current budget so I'd like to fix. 

Anyone have a good fix for repairing plastic that is suppose to flex?  Super glue would just not hold up. Any thick adhesive would just be too stiff

The panel is on a  SHU6800 .

This is what it looks like

How about a little strip of foil duct tape on each broken off tab to hold it in place and let it flex when pushed.

That foil duct tape is pretty strong and may hold up to many flexes before it breaks, or maybe even just plain duct tape, it would flex better and not have to worry about it breaking at the flex point, (just may not be heavy enough to keep broken tab lined up correctly).

Or how about a little dab of hotglue stick to hold the broken tabs on but still let them flex to push the buttons.

You can buy just the control board cover for like $30. Call Automatic Appliance Parts at 800-323-0270. It really is a bad design, par for the course from these folks.
