Bosch Tank 00497859 OEM Part

Water Tank Assembly for Freezers and Refrigerators

Bosch manufactures and distributes products under the Bosch, Thermador, and Gaggenau names. This water tank assembly, an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component, is specifically crafted for selected Bosch bottom-freezer refrigerator models. It serves to store chilled water, aiding in temperature regulation within the unit, and is constructed from resilient plastic to withstand regular use. Ensuring the tank functions properly is crucial for maintaining steady cooling performance.

Indicators of a malfunctioning tank include leaks that can compromise refrigeration effectiveness. Mineral deposits may obstruct water pathways, and over time, cracks can form due to continuous exposure within the refrigerator, necessitating replacement.

Common reasons for tank damage include splits caused by impacts during delivery or the installation process, which may lead to internal harm. Additionally, accumulated mineral deposits impede flow, highlighting the need for regular cleaning to maintain optimal function.

Symptoms indicating tank issues can encompass:

- Variations in interior temperature and uneven cooling
- Accumulation of water around the refrigerator base
- Ice build-up in compartments, affecting usability

This Bosch OEM part is also compatible with certain bottom-freezer refrigerator models from Thermador, Blomberg, and Dacor.
