Customer Questions and Answers for Heating Element (Heater Assembly) by Bosch

This heating element is the direct-replacement heater assembly that provides the heat source for compatible appliances, restoring proper heating so cycles reach the temperatures needed for effective drying or cleaning. What it does:

• Generates heat for the appliance's thermal system (air or water heating depending on model).
• Replaces a failed or damaged heater element to restore normal temperature rise.
• Common symptoms it may fix: no heat, weak/no drying or cleaning performance, or unusually long cycles.
• Works as part of the appliance's safety and temperature-control circuit (thermostats or sensors may also be involved).

• Always disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before replacing the element.
• Allow the appliance to cool fully and wear protective gloves; heating elements can have sharp edges.
• After installation, restore power and run a short test cycle to check for any error codes.
