For Bosch Potentiometer Kit (Part Number: OEM11617857)

Patty for Model Number RDSS30 S/N 9707 & UP

The front left burner on my stove goes out after being on simmer for about 10 minutes. The repair man said the simmer control unit is bad and they are no longer made. I found the simmer control unit online (part no. 00753257), but not the potentiometer. What if I have just the control unit replaced and use the old potentiometer? Could that fix the problem? One online site says a Bosch unit including the potentiometer (part no. 0422882) can be used to as a replacement part on my Thermador stove (serial no. 99050212). Can you confirm that? Thanks

Hello Patty, You would need to order 00497234 for the model provided and be sure to install all parts because the old potentiometers are not compatible with the new simmer control, (it does not show the potentiometers but two come with this simmer control).

Pat, You are on track and on target. The potentiometer kit 00497234 / 00497234, would be the best option to repair your Bosch gas cooktop. The kit is in stock and available at this time. Thanks,

Marie-Joëlle A for Model Number RDDS30VRS

Our Thermador was purchased in 1998 (serial # starts with 98). Both left side burners are not working. the front one ignites and stays on for about 4 min then extinguishes and the igniter sparks continuously causing all igniters to spark. the rear one doesn't ignite but like the front one causes all igniters to spark. the right side burners work fine keeping the flame, even when caused to spark. If the problem is with the potentiometer, I understand that thermador no longer offers a replacement but apparently Bosch ones may work.

Marie-Joelle, For this issue it sounds like you may have a couple different issues. The first would be for the gas shutting off on one and not running on the other will most likely be the gas solenoids. For the constant clicking then this would be the potentiometer which is part number 00422749.

John, If the burner is sparking but no lighting then you will want to check to make sure that the burner head and the burner cap are clean. If they are not then this could cause the gas to flow but not light. The other thing that it could possible be would be a bad spark igniter if the ceramic on the igniter is cracked.

Hello Peter, You cannot re-design the appliance by installing parts not called for on your unit. This could cause a hazardous condition. When the unit sparks after the flame is lit it indicates a loss of chassis ground to the burner areas. You will need to do some disassembly and sand and/or clean up the areas around where the panels are held together with screws. This will re-establish ground to the burner areas so the simmer control can properly detect the flame. Since this is done by the simmer control reading the resistance of the flame, the ground to the ignitor/burner base is very important.

Hello Joel, The sparking eliminates the ignitor, potentiometer, and spark module from being the issue. The issue will have to be either the gas valve 00412950, the burner 00414785, or the solenoid 00411253.

Stac, With this issue, the oven control will most likely be the cause for the unit to not operate.
