Compatibility Notes
-
This part fits many Bosch front-load washer models that list part number 354135 (or superseded 00354135) in their service parts list. Amazon+1
-
Prior to ordering: verify the washer’s model number and serial number, and consult the manufacturer’s parts diagram to ensure that the boot/gasket configuration matches your machine’s style.
-
Compare your existing boot/gasket: check the shape, mounting groove, the number of folds (bellows), and ensure the part number aligns. There may be variations across model years.
-
If the door racket, hinge or tub rim is damaged, replacing the gasket alone may not fully restore correct operation — a technician’s inspection may be advisable.
