00716817 Bosch Condensation Separator

The Condensation Separator, often referred to as the middle mullion, is a genuine replacement part designed for use in Bosch French door refrigerators, and is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and select Kenmore models. Positioned between the refrigerator's doors, this component plays a crucial role in maintaining a secure seal when the doors are shut. This prevents the ingress of warm air and the escape of cold air, thereby aiding in the control of condensation and helping to keep the internal environment ideal for storing food.

Common issues with the Condensation Separator may arise due to normal wear and tear associated with frequent use, damage to the seal, or alignment problems that can occur with mechanical components.

Indicators of a faulty Condensation Separator include:

- Condensation or frost accumulation near the doors
- An increase in internal temperatures due to warm air entering the unit
- Doors that do not seal correctly
- Visible signs of wear or damage on the mullion

Addressing these issues promptly can help ensure your refrigerator operates efficiently and maintains its intended performance.
