00418884 Bosch Main Oven Bake Gas Solenoid

The Main Oven Bake Gas Solenoid is a component found in various Bosch appliances, including models from Thermador and Gaggenau. This original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part is crucial for Bosch ranges. It functions by receiving signals from the control board of the range, prompting it to operate using its internal coil and plunger system. When triggered, the solenoid either opens the gas valve or activates the electric current needed to power the broil element located above the oven cavity.

Common issues that might indicate a malfunctioning broil solenoid include:

- The inability to start or maintain the broil function when selected
- A delay in broil ignition or a discrepancy between the actual shutoff time and the timer setting
- An unusual smell of gas or erratic burner behavior due to incorrect valve operation

This genuine Bosch part is also suitable for use with certain Thermador, Gaggenau, and select Kenmore models.
