Hello,
With apparently a bit too much force, our dishwasher door unfortunately slammed into a trash bin when opened. As a result, the four screws that were drilled from the inside of the dishwasher into the panel/dishwasher door at four points broke out. The former screw holes on the inside of the dishwasher door are, of course, no longer usable due to the damage.
But now I wonder: Is it possible to repair this somehow? Is there perhaps a material (as a layperson, I’m thinking of something like silicone) that can be filled into such (former screw) holes, so the door can be reattached to the dishwasher with four screws? Or is there no solution for this anymore?

You can probably get the template from Bosch Home Appliances customer service.
And I'm quite glad that I used all the screws and the adhesive tape... I was initially going to skip something because it seemed like overkill...

Although this is not really a warranty case, but simply improper installation. I would have expected repairs even after 15 years if they take pride in their work.
After all, you paid 100%, not 50% 😉
