12046381 Genuine Heating Element for Bosch, Siemens, Neff Appliances, BSH Replacement Heater Element

Part 12046381 is a genuine BSH heating element from the parts range behind Bosch, Siemens and Neff. Our listing doesn't record which appliance it belongs to, its wattage or the models it suits, so the number stamped on your old element or shown in your model's parts list is the way to confirm a match. If you can't find it, send us the E-Nr model number and we'll check before you buy.

Appliance not heating? How to check the element

A heating element turns electrical current into heat, warming water, air or an oven cavity depending on the appliance. Elements usually fail open circuit, so the appliance runs but never gets warm, or they short to earth and trip the safety switch when the heating stage starts. Other clues are cycles that run very long, heating fault codes or visible burn marks on the element. A multimeter test across the terminals and from each terminal to earth will confirm it. Check the thermostat, sensor and wiring as well, since they can stop an element heating.

Test for leaks or earth faults before normal use.
