Bosch Spring 00491706 OEM Part

When your dryer isn’t functioning as smoothly as it once did, the quiet culprit might be a worn-out or fatigued tension spring.

Built with durable materials and engineered to the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications, this spring makes sure your dryer’s drum rotates smoothly, quietly, and reliably. Whether the drum is sagging, making unusual noises, or the load isn’t tumbling as it should, replacing the spring can often bring back that smooth performance you expect. It’s an easy fix that tackles a common issue before it becomes a bigger—and more expensive—problem. When you install the Bosch 00491706, you’re essentially giving your dryer a second wind, allowing you to get back to your laundry routine with confidence.<br><br> <b>Product Details & Benefits:</b><br> <b>Manufacturer Number:</b> 00491706. This is the exact OEM part number, ensuring you’re getting a component built to the original specifications. <br> <b>Compatibility:</b> The spring replaces a number of alternative part numbers (such as AP3729675, 1107407, 491706, AH3472340, EA3472340, PS3472340, PS8722593), making it easier to match your dryer’s requirements. <br> <b>Fit & quality:</b> Because this is a genuine Bosch part (and compatible with Bosch’s Thermador and Gaggenau brands, as listed), you can trust the fit and material quality—something that aftermarket springs sometimes struggle to match. <br> <b>Why it matters:</b> Dryer springs absorb and distribute the tension from the drum and belt assembly. If the spring becomes weak or broken, you might hear thumps, see uneven rotation, or experience longer drying times. Replacing the spring can restore smoother motion and better performance.<br><br> If your dryer is showing signs of fatigue or noisy operation, the Bosch 00491706 Dryer Spring is a targeted, high-quality fix that can bring it back to smooth performance.
