Bosch 00491627 Cover (Access Cover) OEM Part

Ordered both the pot metal hinge and the plastic door bracket just in case for our 2008 Bosch electric dryer. The upper arm of the metal hinge broke. Quick and easy fix, torx screws. One thing I missed, there were plastic slip on bearing on all four of the hinge pins. I reused the old ones. Adjusted the door, working great, hope to get another decade of use. I also replaced the light with an official grossly overpriced Bosch candelabra bulb. The original one had long since died and I replaced it with a C7 candelabra Christmas bulb. Hard to tell the difference between the 7W C7 bulb and the 10W official Bosch appliance rated bulb.

When the door of our Bosch dryer fell to the floor, we discovered that the metal hinge had broken in two places. The dryer is 10+ years old, but still working fine. Seeing the hinge was readily accessible (the hinge pins were inside the door behind a cover plate) simply by removing 6 bolts. We decided to also replace the lint screen while we were at it since it too was available. Additionally, we noticed that the freezer door handle of our 10+ year old Amana fridge/freezer was cracked. We decided to turn to AppliancePartsPros.com for the parts. Finding the parts using the appliance model numbers was quick and easy, and the checkout process was equally quick. The parts arrived in just a few days and were installed the same day. Problems solved! Much less expensive than a professional repair or complete replacement!
