  Probably didn't need it 08 November 2017

  IMPORTANT check that your old element is actualy faulty before purchasing this. Whilst this element does what it is supposed to do, I may be jumped the gun buying it as when fitted it still would not heat the water in my machine and so I had to replace another component too (the heater element sensor, that fits in to the element itself). The machine now appears to work ( only after replacing the sensor as well), i.e the water is now heating, having a new element in a 10 year old machine is probably worth the spend as it should be more efficient at heating the water as won't be all scaled up, it could be considered not necessary as was quite expensive to purchase. As to fitting it, it was very easy, just watch the eSpares video on how to, although for a Bosch machine, you need not take the top or control panel off. I recommend you simply take the door hinge off (to allow for easier door seal re-fitting), remove the lower screw behind soap draw, and the two screws behind the bottom panel, the front panel then slides down and out with ease, refitting is straightforward too.  REMEMBER though, unlike the new machine shown in the video yours will no doubt have water in it, when you remove the element a small amount of water will come out, but draining via the small hose overcomes this. Hopefully the above will be viewed as useful and constructive.

  Machine working as new! 02 July 2014

  The part arrived quickly and was easy to fit. The video showing the fitting really helped. My model was slightly different to the one shown for fitting but it was easy to work out what to do after seeing the video. I would certainly recommend e-spares and their videos.

  2nd Element in two years!! 21 January 2014

  Bought a non Bosch part from ESpares in Sept 2012 and it has failed. I have just bought and fitted the genuine Bosch part from ESpares and so will be interested to see how long this one lasts. NOTE there is a difference in length between the genuine and copy part. The ESpares service is very good and the video very helpful.

  BOSCH element 25 September 2013

  Bought and fitted cheaper heating element from e spares, it lasted six months so now I opted for the dearer one. Web site says it is manufactured by Bosch but no sign of this on item or packaging. Here,s hoping. Tip= always watch the how to video, very helpful

  It works! 08 July 2013

  I've never repaired any household item of this size before and am usually not mechanically proficient. Still, I thought I'd have a go fixing the washing machine myself before I end up having to buy a new one! I followed the video and apart from a few minor differences everything appears to be working. No leaks so far and no switches being tripped! I'm very proud of myself! :-) Oh! and well done with the videos, I'd never have figured out how to have fixed it myself without them.

  Perfect item, did what it said on the tin 08 October 2012

  Item arrived fast and fitted perfectly, I followed the video on the espares website and it was 100% spot on. I had to remove a few more screws than was shown on the video but nothing major. One tip, when removing all the screws keep them grouped and a note of where they go back as they all look the same when it comes to putting them all back in again.......
