Description
The Door-Outer is an OEM part for Bosch wall ovens and ranges. It forms the exterior protective cladding around the oven doorway. As a high-heat tolerant material, the door-outer shields internal insulation and wiring from accidental spills, splatters, and heat exposure during cooking.
Causes of a bad door-outer can include warping, cracking or discoloration from prolonged heat. Spills that seep behind can degrade the insulation. Physical damage from impact in a busy kitchen is also possible.
Symptoms of a failed door-outer include:
- Exposure of internal insulation creating a potential fire hazard
- Loss of optimum heat retention allowing shorter cook times
- Deformation of the door frame compromising the door seal
- Possible smoke or burn risks without the protective shielding
Replacing with the genuine Bosch part restores safety and performance. This part is also compatible with Thermador, Dacor, and some KitchenAid wall oven models.
