Bosch Ignition Device 00491648 OEM Part

The Dryer Hot Surface Glow Bar Igniter, featuring a Wire Harness, is an authentic OEM part engineered for Bosch dryers. This heating component is essential for providing the necessary heat to effectively dry laundry, ensuring accurate temperature regulation throughout the drying cycle.

Heater elements often encounter issues such as cracking or breaking due to routine use, and mineral build-up over time can obstruct their ability to transfer heat efficiently.

Look out for these signs that may suggest a faulty heater element:

- Laundry remains damp post-cycle, even when using low moisture settings
- Irregular heat levels during dryer operation
- Unexpected dryer shutdown prompted by safety sensors

This original Bosch component is also compatible with specific Thermador, Gaggenau, and Kenmore dryer models. Replacing the heater element can improve drying performance and guarantee uniform heat distribution.

Problems addressed by this component include:

- Frequent circuit breaker trips
- Overheating during dryer use

Consider replacing the heater element to maintain efficient and safe dryer functionality.
