Customer Questions and Answers for Reel by Bosch

The Reel is the rotating spool that winds or guides a cord, cable, or belt inside the appliance. It maintains smooth motion and proper tension so the connected mechanism operates reliably without binding, slippage, or jams.

• Guides or winds a cord, cable, or belt on a central hub
• Maintains alignment and tension for smooth, consistent operation
• Helps prevent snagging, overwind, or uneven take-up
• Wear or damage can cause noise, binding, loss of tension, or failure to retract/advance

• Disconnect power and any utilities before servicing the appliance
• Access the assembly per your service manual; note routing and orientation with photos
• If spring-loaded, release and set tension carefully to avoid injury
• Transfer any clips, fasteners, or connections from the original part and verify smooth operation before reassembly
