10000470 Genuine Electromagnetic Door Switch for Bosch Appliances, BSH Switch-Door Part for Bosch, Siemens and Neff Group

BSH part 10000470 is a genuine electromagnetic door switch. BSH makes Bosch, Siemens, Neff and Gaggenau appliances and shares many parts between them. The appliance this switch suits isn't recorded, so check the number on your old switch, or send the E-Nr and FD numbers from the rating label through the parts enquiry form. That way you get the right switch the first time.

What a faulty door switch does to an appliance

A door switch tells the control system whether the door is closed. An electromagnetic switch uses a coil or magnet to work its contacts, and some designs also hold the door locked while the appliance runs. If the switch fails, the appliance may refuse to start, stop partway through, show a door error or leave the light on with the door shut. Intermittent faults are common as the contacts wear, so a door that only works when pushed hard or slammed is a strong hint.

Changing the door switch

Unplug the appliance or isolate it at the switchboard before opening any panels. Photograph the wiring connections on the old switch so each terminal goes back to the same place. Check the plug and wiring for heat damage while you're there. Fit the new switch, refit the panels and test that the appliance responds when the door closes.

Questions about this part

What are the E-Nr and FD numbers?

Bosch group appliances carry a rating label showing the E-Nr, which is the model, and the FD, which is the production date code. Both help confirm which parts suit your appliance. The label is usually visible on the door frame or door edge when the door is open.
