Parts for Bosch WTC82100US/01: Drum Assembly Parts

The Drum Baffle is an OEM part for Bosch dryers. It is an internal plastic ribbed component that is securely attached inside the dryer drum.

The drum baffle helps move the clothes and helps circulate air flow evenly throughout the load during the drying cycle. 

Causes of a bad baffle include normal wear and tear from extended use. Heat cycling also makes the material more brittle. Accidental damage during maintenance is possible.

Symptoms of a bad drum baffle include:

• Sections of clothes not drying fully or taking excessively long to dry
• Excessively loud vibrations or noises heard from the dryer drum
• Premature failure of other components like heating elements

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

The Bearing is an OEM part for Bosch dryers. It is a component located within the drum assembly that works to smoothly rotate the drying tumbler during the cycle.                                                         

Symptoms of a bad bearing include:                                                        

• Loud grinding or scraping noises coming from the dryer drum area                                                        
• The dryer drum fails to rotate or gets stuck during the operation                                                
• Vibrations felt in the dryer cabinet or presenting during the operation

Over time, the constant rotation of the dryer drum can cause wear and tear on the bearings. Accidental damage during maintenance or cleaning is also possible. If any of the above issues occur, it may be time to replace this bearing.
