Parts for Thermador VCI230DS/01: Range Hood Parts

This retaining washer secures rotating or sliding components to a shaft, helping keep assemblies in place and preventing parts from shifting during operation. It's a small but essential hardware piece for stable appliance function. What it does:

• Holds a shaft-mounted part or spacer in position to prevent axial movement
• Helps reduce looseness that can cause noise, vibration, or misalignment
• Works with clips, bearings, or spacers as a mechanical stop or retainer
• Used where a compact, secure retention solution is required

• Inspect mating shaft and nearby components for wear before installing
• Use appropriate tools to seat the washer fully; avoid prying that could deform it
• Replace any accompanying clips, bearings, or fasteners that show damage
• Disconnect power and follow all safety precautions for your appliance before servicing

The Halogen Lamp is an OEM component specifically designed for select Bosch downdraft ventilation hoods. As an illumination source, it provides sufficient light for safe nighttime cooktop use.

Toughened outer casings protect encased bulbs against accidental breakage. Ventilated globe designs dissipate heat for prolonged lamp life while avoiding premature degradation.

Causes requiring replacement relate to cumulative burning hours expended. Direct physical impacts could also crack protective glass allowing water damage that accelerates filament failure. 

Symptoms of a bad lamp include:

• Diminished lighting failing to sufficiently illuminate cook surfaces   
• Flickering or inability to power on through expected lifecycles
• Broken housing fragments exposing live connectors to short circuits

This OEM Bosch replacement halogen lamp is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and some Kenmore range hoods employing self-contained lighting solutions. Proper bulb installation will restore intended visibility for safe evening meals.
 

This fuse holder secures the appliance's cartridge fuse and helps maintain a reliable power connection. Replacing a worn or damaged holder restores proper fuse seating and reduces risk of intermittent power or electrical faults. What it does:

• Holds the cartridge/inline fuse securely in the appliance's electrical circuit
• Ensures consistent contact to prevent intermittent power, appliance not powering on, or blown-fuse symptoms
• Provides a safe mounting point for the fuse so the fuse can protect the appliance from electrical surges
• Restores reliable connection when the original holder is cracked, loose, or corroded

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off circuit breaker) before starting any repair
• Access the holder through the appliance service panel; keep track of any screws or brackets
• Replace the fuse with the correct type and rating before reapplying power

This operating module is the user interface control board located behind the console. It reads button/touch inputs and communicates with the main control, restoring responsive controls and reliable operation when the original module fails.

• Interprets user inputs from the control panel and sends commands to the main control
• Drives indicators/display and audible feedback for status
• Coordinates communication between the console and main control
• Symptoms include: unresponsive or intermittent controls, blank or flickering display/indicators, no beeps/feedback, or inability to accept selections

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing; follow ESD (anti-static) precautions
• Access is typically from behind the console/trim; note wiring and connector orientation
• Transfer any model-specific overlay/trim as required; handle the board by its edges
• Fully seat ribbon cables and harness connectors; ensure tabs/clips are engaged before reassembly

This control module is the appliance's electronic control board—the brain that manages cycle timing and component operation. Replacing a failed board restores responsive controls and reliable cycle performance. What it does:

• Processes user selections and sensor feedback to run each step of the cycle
• Controls outputs to components such as motors, valves, fans, and heaters as designed
• Common failure symptoms include: no power to controls, won't start, cycle won't advance or complete, or unresponsive buttons
• Helps restore normal operation when the original board is damaged by power surges, moisture, or component failure

• One control module

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing to prevent electrical shock
• Use ESD precautions; handle the board by the edges and avoid touching circuitry
• Photograph wire connections and transfer connectors one at a time to match the original layout
• Ensure all connectors are fully seated and the board is secured before restoring power and test-running a cycle

This cable harness is a factory-style wire assembly that routes power and signals between appliance components for reliable operation and diagnostics access. It helps restore electrical connections that are damaged, frayed, or intermittent. What it does:

• Transfers power and control signals between circuit boards, sensors, switches, and motors
• Replaces damaged or corroded wiring that can cause intermittent operation or component failures
• Reduces arcing and short risks by restoring proper insulation and secure terminals
• Helps resolve symptoms such as no power to specific components, error codes tied to communication faults, or intermittent starts

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before starting any repair
• Match connectors and routing to the original harness; secure with provided clips or ties where applicable
• Avoid pinching or stretching wires; inspect connector terminals for damage before installation
