Bosch 649017 Heater Element Appliance Replacement

Product Description

The BOSCH 649017 is a replacement heater element designed to restore heating function in compatible appliances. Heater elements generate the thermal energy required for the appliance to complete its intended cycle. Over time, elements fail due to mineral buildup, thermal cycling stress, or electrical faults. Installing a direct replacement restores normal operation without requiring full component assembly replacement. This part is suited for installation by qualified appliance service technicians familiar with electrical resistance heating components and proper isolation procedures.

The 649017 is intended for use in Bosch appliances that rely on an electric resistance heating element as part of their core operating cycle. Typical applications include dishwashers and similar appliances where a heating element is used for water heating or drying functions. This part serves as an OEM-style replacement to return the appliance to its original heating specification.

Key Features

• Direct OEM-style replacement restores original heating function
