BSH often refers to the round door on its front loaders as the window, and 798818 is a genuine frame for that door on Bosch and Siemens front load washing machines. It's also listed as 00798818. Door designs vary in colour, handle style and glass shape across models, so please match the number on your parts list or old frame rather than going by looks alone.

Cracked washer door frame problems

The window frame is the moulded ring that holds the door glass and connects to the hinge and handle. It carries the weight of the glass every time the door opens and takes knocks from baskets and kids leaning on it. A cracked frame can let the glass move, misalign the door with the lock so the washer won't start, or leave a sharp edge. Broken hinge mounts and snapped handle areas are the usual reasons people replace the frame.

Rebuilding the door with a new frame

Unplug the washer and lift the door off its hinge. Lay it on a soft surface glass side down. Undo the screws that hold the inner and outer parts together, and note where the glass, handle, hook and any trim sit. Move them across to the new frame one at a time, screw the door back together evenly, and refit it.
