Description
Ensure a reliable, watertight seal on your Bosch front-load washer door with the genuine OEM "Bosch 00644646 Outer Door Boot Spring Clamp". This specialized wire ring provides the crucial tension needed to hold the flexible rubber door boot (gasket) securely against the washer's outer cabinet or front panel. If your washer is leaking near the door or the original clamp is broken or corroded, this replacement will restore the seal.
Features & Benefits
- Genuine Bosch OEM quality ensures the proper size and tension for a precise fit with the door boot.
- Creates the essential seal between the door boot gasket and the washer's outer housing.
- Resolves leaks and prevents the rubber door seal from pulling away or sagging.

Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement
- Water is leaking from the front edge of the washer door during the wash cycle.

Compatibility Note
Note: This is typically the "outer" clamp that secures the door boot to the outer cabinet. Specialized door boot clamp pliers are highly recommended for stretching and installing the spring mechanism to ensure a correct and safe installation. Always unplug the washer before starting the repair.
