Thermador - Vci236ds Parts

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 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 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 metal filter captures food particles in the dishwasher's lower sump to help keep the wash system clear and protect the pump. Durable metal construction resists clogging and is designed to sit in the lower filter assembly. What it does:

• Traps food and debris to prevent large particles from reaching the wash pump and spray arms
• Helps maintain proper water drainage and circulation for consistent cleaning
• Reduces the chance of clogs that can cause odors or poorer wash performance
• Compatible with units that use a metal lower sump filter design

• One metal lower dishwasher filter

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing and remove the lower rack for access
• Remove the old filter per your model's instructions; this part typically twists or snaps into the lower sump
• Ensure the filter seats fully and any locking tab or retainer is engaged to prevent leaks
• Clean surrounding area and inspect the seal before returning the lower rack and restoring power

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 light bar is the control-panel illumination assembly that restores clear, even lighting to the appliance controls so buttons and displays are easy to read. Ideal when the control area is dim or unevenly lit. What it does

• Provides consistent backlighting for the control panel so status lights and labels are visible
• Replaces a cracked, discolored, or non-working light assembly that leaves the controls hard to read
• Helps diagnose lighting-related issues when buttons appear unlit or intermittently illuminated
• Matches the original fit and mounting points for a straightforward replacement

• One light bar assembly

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Remove trim or control panel fasteners carefully to access the light bar; small screws or clips may be used
• Handle the light bar gently to avoid damaging lenses or LED elements
• Test the light operation before reassembling the panel
