Parts for Thermador CEM456ZB: 06 - Components Parts

This heating element assembly provides the heating source for the appliance, restoring normal temperature output for drying/heating cycles. Replaces a worn or failed element to help recover proper operation and cycle performance. What it does

• Heats air or water as part of the appliance's main heating circuit.
• Restores normal cycle temperatures when the original element has failed.
• Can resolve symptoms such as no heat, extended cycle times, or temperature-related error codes.
• Works with the appliance's thermostat and safety cutouts to maintain safe operating temperature.

• Disconnect power (and gas supply, if applicable) before starting any repair.
• Handle with care to avoid damaging terminals, terminals insulation, or mounting brackets.
• Inspect surrounding wiring, connectors, and thermal cutouts; replace any damaged components.
• After installation, verify proper operation by running a test cycle and checking for correct heat and no unusual smells or noises.

This heating element warms the appliance tub to heat water and aid in drying and sanitizing cycles. It restores normal wash and dry performance when the original heater has failed or stopped producing heat. What it does:

• Heats water and air inside the appliance to reach cycle temperatures
• Helps improve detergent activation and soil removal during wash cycles
• Supports drying and sanitizing functions by providing consistent heat
• Failure symptoms: no hot water, poor drying, longer-than-normal cycles, or error codes related to heating

• Disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before starting any repairs
• Handle carefully; avoid bending or damaging terminals and mounting tabs
• Inspect wiring and connectors; replace any corroded or damaged harnesses

This heating element heats dishwasher wash and rinse water and helps enable proper drying and sanitizing cycles. It restores the unit's ability to reach and maintain appropriate wash temperatures for cleaning performance. What it does:

• Warms wash and rinse water so detergents and sanitizing cycles work effectively
• Supports drying performance by raising internal temperature during final cycles
• Stops producing heat when the element is burned out, causing poor cleaning or no drying
• Can cause error codes or interrupted cycles if the element or its connections fail

• One heating element assembly

• Disconnect electrical power and water supply before servicing
• Handle the element and ceramic insulators carefully to avoid damage
• Verify correct fit and connection orientation for your model; secure wiring and seals

This push-button switch controls electrical power or function circuits in compatible Bosch appliances, restoring user input and on/off control when the original switch fails. What it does:

• Opens or closes the appliance's electrical circuit when pressed to enable a given function
• Commonly used where a user-operated control needs a durable, tactile interface
• Resolves symptoms like an unresponsive control panel, intermittent operation, or functions that won't toggle on
• Replaces a worn or non-clicking switch to restore reliable button response

• One replacement push-button switch

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to prevent shock
• Verify correct terminal connections and orientation before final assembly
• Use basic hand tools; avoid forcing connectors to prevent damage

This is a replacement mounting screw used to secure components and panels in compatible Bosch appliances. It provides a simple way to restore proper fit and prevent loose parts or rattling. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, or small components to appliance frames
• Restores secure mounting when original screw is missing or damaged
• Helps stop vibration-related noise from loose parts
• Matches OEM fit and thread for reliable fastening when the correct screw is specified

• Use the matching screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Tighten until snug; do not overtighten to prevent thread damage or cracking nearby plastic
• Turn off and unplug the appliance or disconnect power before accessing internal components

The Cooktop Bracket Kit is an OEM part for Bosch cooktops. This bracket and hardware kit serves to securely fasten the cooktop surface to the underlying countertop.

Causes of a bad bracket can include wear and deformation from heavy cooktop use over time, or damage to fastening screws from accidental impacts.

Symptoms of a bad bracket and fastening kit include:

• The cooktop surface becoming loose, wobbly, or unstable during use
• Gaps appearing between the cooktop and countertop edges
• Reduced heat containment and risk of burns from loose surfaces

This genuine OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau and select Kenmore models.
