Bosch Tank Spring 00491683 OEM Part

The Spring-Tank is a genuine original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component specifically crafted for integration within Bosch washing machines. It is strategically positioned within the core support structure beneath the wash drum. Its primary function is to deliver the essential tension required to stabilize the tub during its operational movements and rotations.

Over extended periods, regular utilization may lead to the spring's degradation or accumulation of mineral deposits, potentially hindering its effectiveness. Furthermore, physical wear may manifest as cracks or breaks within the spring coil.

A malfunctioning tub support spring can result in several operational challenges, such as:
- Heightened vibrations or imbalance in the machine during spin cycles
- Audible squeaking or grinding sounds originating from the central support zone
- Difficulty encountered when lifting or maneuvering the tub for loading and unloading purposes

This authentic Bosch component is also suitable for use in various Thermador, Gaggenau, and select models from Kenmore.
