00498905 Bosch Gas Tube or Connector for Range/Stove/Oven

Gas Tube or Connector for Range/Stove/Oven.

This component is an official OEM part suitable for Bosch gas ranges, and it is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and select Kenmore models. The tube, a hollow metal conduit, is positioned beneath each burner on the cooktop, linking the burner to the gas valve and manifold.

The deterioration of the tube typically results from regular use over time. The constant exposure to high temperatures from the gas can gradually degrade the metal. Additionally, it's possible for the tube to sustain damage during cleaning.

Indications of a malfunctioning tube include:

- Burners failing to ignite or igniting inconsistently
- Noticeably weak or small flames, rather than robust blue flames
- An unusual odor emanating from the burners during use
- Irregular or poor heating performance from the burners

Regular checks and maintenance are recommended to ensure optimal performance and safety of your appliance.
