Parts for Bosch WTMC8330US/05: Drum Parts

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.                                                        

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

The Screw is an OEM part for Bosch microwave ovens. It is a component that secures the outer casing and front paneling of the microwave. The screw is designed to withstand repeated heating and cooling cycles without loosening or degrading. 

Symptoms of bad screw include:

- The front panel or outer casing becoming loose, detached, or misaligned
- Gaps appearing in the seams or joints of the microwave structure
- The door not sealing properly leading to leaks

Over many uses of the microwave, screws can wear down or strip out from over-tightening during repairs or installations. It is important to replace worn screws to ensure the microwave maintains an intact structure.

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

This flat washer secures fasteners and helps distribute clamping force to protect parts from pull-through and wear. It's a small but critical hardware piece that helps maintain proper alignment and reduce vibration in the appliance. What it does:

• Sits under a nut or bolt to evenly spread load and prevent surface damage
• Helps keep fasteners tightened and reduces loosening from vibration
• Protects mating surfaces from wear and deformation
• Can reduce rattling or vibration-related noise when used as intended

• Disconnect power and water before accessing internal components
• Replace like-for-like; do not force or modify the washer to fit
• If other hardware is corroded or damaged, replace affected fasteners as a set

This sealing strip replaces a worn or damaged door edge seal to help maintain a tight closure and reduce leaks, drafts, and odors. It restores proper sealing where the door meets the cabinet or frame. What it does:

• Provides a consistent seal along the door edge to help prevent water or air leaks
• Helps limit odors and moisture transfer from the appliance compartment
• Reduces rattling or wind noise caused by a compromised door seal
• Restores smooth door closure and alignment where the strip seats

• Disconnect power and water supply before starting work
• Remove the old strip carefully to avoid damaging the door or frame
• Align the new strip with the door edge and press into the channel or mounting surface per OEM guidance
• Trim excess only if specified by the manufacturer; check for a secure, continuous seal after installation

The Lint Screen Filter is an OEM replacement part for Bosch dryers. This essential component is designed to capture lint and debris during the drying process, preventing them from accumulating within the dryer and causing potential issues.

Causes of a need to replace the lint screen filter can include excessive buildup of lint and debris over time, resulting in clogging or damage to the filter material. Regular cleaning and maintenance can help extend the lifespan of the lint screen filter.

Symptoms that may indicate a need for a replacement lint screen filter include:

• Restricted airflow and reduced drying efficiency
• Overheating or excessive heat buildup within the dryer
• Visible signs of damage or wear on the existing lint screen filter

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

This genuine refrigerator door seal replaces a worn or damaged gasket to help restore proper door sealing and keep cold air inside. It reduces cycling and helps maintain consistent temperatures for stored food. What it does:

• Creates a tight seal around the refrigerator door to prevent air leaks
• Helps stop frost buildup and reduces overworking of the compressor
• Commonly replaces seals that are torn, flattened, or no longer sealing
• Fits specific Bosch refrigerator doors — improves cooling performance when seal is compromised

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Remove food, shelves, and door liners as needed for access
• Warm the gasket slightly (room temperature or warm water) to ease installation; avoid open flames or excessive heat
• Inspect door frame for damage and ensure the seal is seated evenly to allow full door closure

The Wheel is an OEM component specifically designed for select Bosch vented dryers requiring stable rotational support. As a load-bearing fixture, it maneuverably transports tumbling drum assemblies.

Causes usually arise from years of use wearing down bearings and slowing revolutions. Impacts may also deform precisely fitted wheels biasing balanced movements.

Symptoms signaling the need for a new wheel incorporate: 

• Binding or inability to smoothly transition drum assemblies  
• Grooves eroding intended contact patches for stable mobilization
• Loosened fasteners enabling unintended displacements risking stability

This OEM Bosch replacement wheel is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau and select Kenmore dryers relying on reliably rotating supporting structures. Correct installation restores intended operational smoothness.
 

A small mounting clip that secures exterior panels, trim or bezels to keep them aligned and reduce vibration. Replacing a damaged clip restores a snug fit and helps stop rattling or loosely seated panels. What it does:

• Holds panels and trim in the factory mounting location to maintain proper fit and alignment
• Prevents vibration and rattling caused by loose or worn fasteners
• Replaces broken, cracked, or missing clips that allow panels to sag or separate
• Works with the appliance's existing slots or mounting tabs for a secure snap-in fit

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any service
• Remove the adjacent trim or access panel per the service manual to reach the clip location
• Press or snap the clip into the factory slot; use pliers for leverage if needed but avoid over-forcing
• Inspect neighboring clips and mounting points for damage; replace additional clips as required

This replacement socket connects and secures a light bulb or wiring harness inside the appliance so the light operates reliably and wiring stays stable. It restores a safe electrical connection for oven, range, or appliance lighting. What it does:

• Holds and powers the appliance light bulb or connects a small wiring harness
• Restores steady lighting when a cracked, burnt, or loose socket causes flickering or no light
• Provides a secure contact to prevent intermittent electrical connection
• Helps eliminate arcing or poor contact that can cause visible sparking or failure to light

• One replacement socket

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock
• Use gloves and allow bulbs and surrounding parts to cool before handling
• Inspect wiring and connectors for damage; replace if insulation or contacts are compromised

The Moisture Sensor is an OEM part for Bosch dryers. It monitors the humidity level inside the rotating drum throughout drying cycles.

Causes of a faulty moisture sensor can include mineral deposits accumulation on electrodes over time, distorting humidity readings.

Symptoms of a bad moisture sensor include:

• Incomplete drying with clothes still damp at the end of cycles
• Over-drying resulting in wrinkling or wear to fabrics
• Cycle lengths not adjusting optimally based on load moisture
• Error codes displayed relating to moisture detection

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