Description

The Ignition Device is an OEM part for Bosch dryers. This part ignites the gas in the dryer's burner, initiating the heating process necessary for drying clothes. By generating the spark that lights the burner's gas, it plays a pivotal role in the dryer's operation, contributing to efficient and effective drying cycles.

Causes of a malfunctioning Ignition Device include wear and tear over extended use, buildup of lint and debris affecting the ignition process, and potential damage from electrical surges.  

Symptoms indicating the need for a new ignition device include:

• The dryer fails to heat up, resulting in clothes that remain damp after a cycle.
• A noticeable lack of a sparking sound during the dryer's startup phase.
• Intermittent heating issues, where the dryer occasionally fails to produce heat.

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