The Vent Control Button is an OEM component specifically designed for select Bosch downdraft ventilation ranges. Pressable from the countertop, its reliable switch operates the vent position. Precise guidance aligns ductwork airflows.
Symptoms of a faulty control button may include intermittent or unresponsive vent movement. Over-activation degrades contacts requiring change.
Causes of a bad button relate to typical contact wear reducing conductivity. Splashes introduce moisture necessitating replacement over time.
Causes of a bad vent control button involve:
This OEM Bosch part is also compatible with some Thermador, Dacor, and Viking downdraft ventilation ranges. Replace to maintain convenient vent management directing smoke and odors safely outdoors.
Found replacing the switch to be doable, but it was quite a delicate operation. This was for a Thermador range with a broken downdraft switch. It required the removal of 5 small screws which could easily be fumbled and dropped down where it would be difficult, if not impossible to retrieve. Two of the screws were facing the back, so it was a blind operation to remove and replace the screws. Required an offset screwdriver, as space was tight. So, be EXTREMELY careful to not drop the screws and... Read more
This is a genuine OEM replacement o-ring sourced directly from the manufacturer for use on range vent hood switches. The o-ring provides a tight seal for the switch and keeps smoke from escaping through the switch connection. If the o-ring becomes worn or damaged, the vent will not remove smoke during cooking and should be replaced. Heat and debris pulled through the vent may cause the o-ring to warp. O-rings are not designed to last forever and may need to be replaced during the life of the appliance to keep it functioning correctly.To start, disconnect the power to the vent hood and dismantle the vent in order to reach the switch. To start, disconnect the switch and locate the o-ring. Remove the old one and dispose of it. Place the new o-ring in the groove and press firmly to seal the part. Lubrication is not necessary for installing the new o-ring. Reassemble the switch and put the vent hood back in place. Connect the power and try the switch to make sure it works. This o-ring is made of heavy-duty black rubber is and sold individually. It is designed for use in range hoods manufactured by Thermidor.

The Drive Link, Welded Assembly is an OEM part for Bosch range hoods. This assembly is responsible for linking the motion of the internal components to allow for proper function of the range hood.
The Drive Link provides a direct connection between the internal drive system and blower fan, facilitating the smooth transfer of power needed for ventilation. It also helps guide internal mechanisms to ensure components operate as intended with each other during use.
Causes of a bad Drive Link can include wear from continuous use, excessive stress, or damage resulting from impact.
Symptoms of a bad Drive Link include:
Found a knowledgeable helper who took the unit apart and replaced the Drive Arm Assembly and Drive Link. We had also replaced the switches and motor a month before, when we then noticed that the unit was not retracting at an even rate of speed. I'm estimating that it took 1-2 hours because the unit is in the middle of a kitchen island. We needed to remove and replace storage drawers to access the unit, which took as long as the repair itself. The old c. 1998 Drive Arm Assembly was very worn... Read more
Replaced all three guide rails. It took longer to remove the vent from the island then it did to replace the guide rails. Read more
