The same part is also listed as 00644726. It's the factory heater, rated to match the original load so the controls and safety cut-outs work as designed. The appliance type and models aren't on file, so match the number stamped on your old element, or send us the E-Nr from the rating plate before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to tell a 2000W element has failed\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA heating element is a resistance wire sealed inside a metal sheath or mounted in a frame. Current through the wire makes heat, which the appliance's controls switch on and off as needed. Elements usually fail by going open circuit, so the appliance runs but never warms up, or by shorting to the sheath, which trips the safety switch the moment heat is called for. Visible splits, blisters or burnt terminals are a giveaway. A multimeter test across the terminals with the power isolated confirms it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine BSH part 644726, also written 00644726\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated at 2000W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor Bosch, Siemens and Neff appliances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo model list on file, match the number on your old element\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"part-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2000W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReplacing the heating element\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIsolate the appliance at the switchboard or unplug it, and turn off the water if it's connected. Photograph the wiring before you undo any terminal. If the element mounts through a seal, fit a new one so it doesn't leak. Tighten terminals firmly so they can't overheat. Hard-wired appliances must be reconnected by a licensed electrician. Test the appliance through a full heating cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I test the old element?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the power isolated and the wires off, check across the terminals with a multimeter. A healthy element shows a low resistance, typically a few tens of ohms. An open circuit, or any continuity from a terminal to the metal body, means the element has failed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bosch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44551128875086,"sku":"644726","price":366.59,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/644726-genuine-bosch-heating-element-2000w","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
