Customer Questions and Answers for Lock-Mechanical by Bosch

4.89 (64)
By: Bosch
Part Number: OEM11575869
Manufacturer Part Number: 00497255

The Lock is an OEM replacement part for Bosch front-loading washers. Securing mechanisms through customized openings prevents loads from rolling freely during spinning, maintaining optimal programmed processes. Reliable retention enhances cleaning consistency.

Causes of a bad lock can involve deterioration of locking pawls or supporting rails over many cycles of engaging and disengaging weekly. Protruding lock parts also risk impact damage from overfilled loads.

Symptoms of a bad lock include: 

  • Inability to prevent tub contents from spinning unrestrained   
  • Loose articles migrating from their intended placement within  
  • Door failures to lock closed fully during active cycles
  • Premature component wear transferring vibrations to cabinetry

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

Hello Donnie. Disconnect the power to the unit. Open the door and remove the front seal spring. Pull the seal back to access the door lock assembly 00497255. Remove fascia panel 00660718 by removing (4) screws (and plastic screw caps). Carefully lay fascia panel out of the way (on top panel). Using a thin tool (e.g. awl or drill bit), push latch on circular drain pump access cover (through small hole in cover), then rotate cover (cw) clockwise to remove it. Disconnect green door lock manual release cable from drain pump (so door lock can be removed). Remove (2) screws holding door lock to front panel. Gently pry out white plastic front shield until it pops off front panel, then slide lock to left until black plastic lock rails clear notch infront frame. Disconnect (3) wire harness connectors from door lock. Reinstall in reverse order. Hope this helps.
