Description

The Switch Assembly is an OEM part for Bosch microwaves. It plays an important role in controlling the various functions of the microwave such as power levels, time settings, warming functions, and more. The switch assembly receives input signals from the control panel and relays them to other internal components to initiate the appropriate cooking program.

Causes of a bad switch assembly can include worn out or faulty electrical components, damage from moisture intrusion or spillage inside the microwave cabinet, or repeated use over time deteriorating connectivity. 

Symptoms of a bad switch assembly include:

• Buttons or dials not functioning properly 
• Preset programs not working as intended
• Microwave failing to turn on
• Inability to change power levels or time settings

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