Description

The Relay is an OEM part for use in Bosch microwaves. This part acts as a safety device, monitoring the temperature within the microwave to prevent overheating. If the microwave reaches an unsafe temperature, the relay thermostat will interrupt the power supply to the heating element or magnetron, effectively halting the cooking process to prevent damage or fire.

The need for replacement can arise from a thermostat that has become overly sensitive or has failed completely, often due to repeated exposure to high temperatures or in the event of a significant overheating incident.

Symptoms of a failing Relay include:

• The microwave unexpectedly turning off during use, especially if it hasn't been running long enough to complete the cooking cycle.
• The microwave refusing to start, which can occur if the thermostat is stuck in the open position, indicating an overheat condition even when the appliance is cool.
• Inconsistent cooking results, where the microwave seems to heat intermittently or not at all, suggesting the thermostat may be cutting off power prematurely.

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