This small rubber gasket seals and cushions an M4 fastener to help prevent leaks and reduce vibration at attachment points. It's a compact replacement part used where a watertight or vibration-damping seal is needed. What it does:

• Creates a seal around an M4 screw or bolt to help prevent water intrusion
• Cushions fasteners to reduce vibration, noise, and metal-on-metal wear
• Restores a tightened fastener's proper sealing surface when the original gasket is worn
• Helps maintain appliance integrity around panels, brackets, or connections

• Power off and unplug the appliance before starting any repair.
• Confirm the gasket's size matches the fastener and seating area before installation.
• Install flat against the mating surface; tighten fastener snugly but avoid over-torquing which can deform the gasket.
• Handle small parts carefully and retain any removed hardware for reassembly.

A replacement coil tension spring that restores proper tension and smooth movement to the appliance component it attaches to, helping return doors, levers, or assemblies to their intended position for reliable operation. What it does:

• Provides tension and return force for a door, lever, or linkage to ensure proper closing and positioning
• Helps eliminate sagging, sticking, or uneven movement caused by a worn or broken spring
• Can reduce rattling or noise from loose components when the spring is worn
• Restores normal mechanical action so other parts operate under correct load

• Disconnect power and water before servicing the appliance
• Use appropriate tools and caution—springs can be under tension and may release suddenly
• Compare the new spring to the original to ensure correct length and end configuration before installation
• If the appliance uses matching springs on both sides, replace both to maintain balanced operation

A replacement spring shackle that secures the dishwasher door spring to the door/tub assembly, restoring correct door balance and smooth opening. Replaces a worn or broken connector that can cause sagging or unstable door motion. What it does

• Connects the door tension spring to the dishwasher door/tub, transferring spring tension for proper door support.
• Helps the door open and close smoothly by keeping the spring anchored and aligned.
• Common symptom fix: stops a door that sags, drops, or feels loose when opened.
• Also addresses clicking or popping noises near the hinge area caused by a broken or worn shackle.

• One spring shackle.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical hazards.
• Support the door while replacing the shackle to prevent sudden movement or injury.
• Inspect associated springs and hinge components; replace any damaged parts for reliable operation.

This small spring fits behind the control knob to provide tension and a positive, secure feel. Replace it to restore proper knob height and a snug fit when the knob feels loose, wobbly, or won't stay seated.

• Provides spring tension between the knob and control shaft for proper engagement
• Helps keep the knob centered and at the correct height on the control panel
• Restores firm, consistent knob feel during operation
• Common symptoms: loose or wobbly knob, knob doesn't stay seated or sits unevenly

• Disconnect power; for gas appliances, also shut off the gas supply
• Pull the knob straight off the shaft; note the spring's position/orientation
• Remove the old spring and seat the new spring on the shaft or in the knob recess
• Reinstall the knob and check for smooth operation; do not force the knob onto the shaft

This 4-wire male terminal connector provides a secure electrical connection for compatible Bosch appliances, restoring reliable power transfer to the wiring harness. Use it when the existing connector is damaged, corroded, or loose. What it does:

• Replaces a damaged or worn 4-pin male terminal to restore proper electrical contact
• Secures wiring to the appliance's harness and prevents intermittent power loss
• Helps eliminate symptoms such as burners, elements, or controls that fail to power reliably
• Meets OEM fit and form for straightforward replacement where this style connector is specified

• One 4-wire male terminal connector

• Recommended for technicians or experienced DIYers familiar with appliance electrical work
• Disconnect power at the breaker before inspecting or replacing the connector
• Verify correct wiring orientation and tightness of crimp or screw termination per service diagram
• If terminals or harness are corroded or damaged beyond the connector, replace the affected wiring or harness assembly

This strain relief secures the cooktop power cord where it enters the appliance, protecting wiring from pull damage and reducing stress on the terminal connection for safer, more reliable operation. Ideal when the cord area shows wear or looseness. What it does:

• Holds the power cord firmly at the cooktop entry to prevent tugging on internal wiring
• Reduces risk of frayed wires, loose terminals, and intermittent power caused by cord movement
• Helps maintain a stable electrical connection at the terminal block
• Commonly replaced when the cord jacket is damaged or the cord pulls freely at the entry point

• One strain relief as shown

• Disconnect electrical power at the breaker before any service; confirm power is off with a multimeter
• Access typically requires removing the cooktop/back panel to reach the terminal area
• Secure the cord under the strain relief and tighten fasteners per OEM orientation; avoid overtightening
