Not quite what I expected! 06 May 2014
When it arrived, promptly with next day delivery, the replacement heater element for my 6 year old, Bosch Classixx6 washing machine was labelled correctly as 2000 watts, not 2050 watts as your advert and phone assistant kept on insisting it should be. It was much shorter than the original and not by the original manufacturer but, fortunately, fitted ok and works fine, so far. It was the most expensive heater element I have ever bought, and I have bought several for electric hobs and fan assisted ovens but not, previously, for a washing m/c., and, there is nothing to say how long it is guaranteed/warrantied for. Your 'you tube' video was extremely good and very useful, and, with a bit of mechanical 'nouse', common sense, the correct tools and care (I found it easier to remove the door, which is lifted up slightly and forwards after the 2 screws are removed, and leave the safety switch in position) it was relatively straight forward to gain access to the front mounted heater, note the connections, remove it and refit the new element. Go careful when refitting the main front panel that you don't distort the return part (as I did) with the holes that locate over the lower, plastic lugs on each side. If you do, remove the panel and carefully ease the mounting holes out until perfectly flush again, otherwise the panel won't hold in position.

Note: This part has been supplied in the UK listed as 2050 watts for many years. Due to EEC standardisation of electrical supply voltage the supply voltage is now listed as being 230 Volts not the 240 Volts previously quoted. As a result despite the part being unchanged it is now quoted based on the lower supply voltage as being 2000 watts

Lasted 4 years 03 January 2022
Fitted one of these in late 2017, to replace the original heater element in our Bosch WFO2864 machine which, by this date, was 15 years old. The element has just failed: - it has lasted 4 years. Not sure if 4 years is the designed service life, but it was certainly not a patch on the original!
