The SHP53TL5UC is an early pocket-handle Bosch – stainless, 15 place settings, on the deep 23 3/4 inch tub with the controls set into the top edge of the door. Top-control machines of this generation are the ones where a spill history shows up years later, because the control strip on the door’s top edge was less well sealed than it is on current models. A panel that has started behaving oddly on one of these has almost always taken liquid at some point.
