Parts for Bosch WTE86300US/08: Motor Assembly Parts

The Foot is an OEM component specifically designed for select Bosch dryers. It securely elevates the appliance above the floor for ventilation purposes. Rigid plastic construction supports weight distribution evenly during cycles.

Causes of a bad foot can involve normal wear from long-term appliance positioning. Exposure to moisture or impacts posing cracking and weakening risks over time necessitate replacement.

Causes of a bad foot include:

• Dryer is unstable and rocks or sways more than usual
• Scratches or damage to flooring surfaces it contacts
• Uneven drying performance from improper elevation

Symptoms of a bad foot include collapsed or unstable base structure inhibiting dependable operation. Timely replacement ensures correct height positioning.

This OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and some Kenmore dryers. Replace to properly elevate your unit and maximize airflow circulation.
 

This part is a dryer motor assembly. It is located on the back of the appliance. The part is responsible for turning the dryer blower and drum. Make sure the dryer is free of lint and regularly clean the dryer vents to keep the motor assembly in good shape. If the motor assembly is damaged or malfunctioning, it may cause the dryer to hum. The dryer may also have difficulty spinning.If the motor assembly has gone bad, it should be replaced. Unplug the dryer and consider work gloves to protect the hands. Remove the lint screen and housing, the lid, and the wire harness plug. Take off the front panel and unhook it from the hinges. Remove the pulley and belt to reach the drive motor. Take out the clamps and pull the motor assembly out. Place the new one in the same location and reassemble the dryer.Designed for dryers manufactured by Bosch, this motor assembly is sold individually. It is a genuine OEM replacement part that has been directly obtained from the manufacturer.

The Tension Roller is an OEM part for Bosch dryers. This part maintains the correct tension on the drive belt to ensure smooth and efficient operation. The tension roller ensures that the belt is tightly secured around the drum, allowing it to rotate smoothly and evenly during cycles.

The need for replacement can stem from normal wear and tear over time, as the roller can become worn or damaged, affecting its ability to maintain proper tension on the belt. 

Symptoms of a failing Tension Roller include:

• Unusual noises, such as squeaking or grinding, coming from the dryer when it is running. 
• The dryer drum not spinning correctly or at all, which can occur if the tension roller is not providing the necessary support and tension for the belt.
• Excessive vibration during operation, suggesting that the drive belt is not tensioned properly

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

The Drive Belt is an OEM part for Bosch dryers. It works to transfer power from the dryer motor to the drum, helping rotate and tumble clothes during the drying cycle.
