The Door Seal is an OEM part for Bosch front load washers, designed to ensure a watertight seal between the door and the drum. This part prevents water from leaking out during the wash cycle, maintaining the efficiency and safety of your appliance. 

Over time, the constant exposure to water and detergent, along with the physical stress of laundry loads, can cause the door seal to degrade. 

Symptoms of a bad Door Seal include:

• Visible signs of wear, such as cracks, holes, or tears, which can lead to water leaks.
• Mold or mildew buildup, resulting from trapped moisture and detergent residue, which can cause unpleasant odors and potential health issues.
• The door struggling to close properly or water leakage during the wash cycle, indicating a seal that has lost its elasticity or is otherwise damaged.

This OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and some Kenmore models.

The Fastening Ring is an OEM part for Bosch front load washers. It secures the door boot seal to the front panel of the washer, ensuring a tight and leak-free connection. This ring is essential for maintaining the washer's seal during operation, preventing water from escaping the drum.

Causes of a bad fastening ring can include normal wear and tear, rust or corrosion, and damage from over-tightening or mishandling during maintenance.

Symptoms of a bad fastening ring include:

• Water leaking from the door area
• The door boot seal becoming loose or detached
• Visible damage or deformation of the ring

This OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and some Kenmore models.

The Carbon brush, drum motor is an OEM part for Bosch washing machines. These carbon brushes are responsible for transferring electrical current from the commutator on the motor to power the rotary movement inside the washing machine drum.  Two come per package.

Symptoms of a bad carbon brush, or drum motor can include:

• noisy or squealing sounds coming from the motor during the operation  
• the drum fails to spin or spin inconsistently
• the washer is unable to enter spin cycles
• slow or reduced agitation 

Causes of a bad part include normal wear and tear over extended use. As the brushes continuously contact the commutator, friction can cause them to wear down over time.

This OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and some Kenmore models.
