Bosch Washer Tub assembly with drum 245703, Replaces 243085

Bosch washer tub assembly with drum, translucent new-resin construction, with heater provision. Bosch service documentation distinguishes this complete assembly from the WFMC1001 Classic no-heater-provision tub assembly.

Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Persistent water leakage from beneath or around the tub during washing or spinning
• Loud rumbling, grinding, or bearing noise that increases during spin
• Excessive inner-drum looseness or visible wobble
• Drum rubbing against the outer tub or cabinet
• Visible tub damage, cracking, or leakage at the tub seam

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect electrical power and water supply before inspection.
• With the washer empty and powered off, slowly rotate the drum by hand and listen for grinding, scraping, or rough bearing movement.
• Gently check the inner drum for abnormal up-and-down or front-to-back play; excessive movement can indicate a tub, bearing, or shaft problem, but does not by itself confirm that the complete assembly is defective.
• Inspect for water directly beneath the tub area after a controlled test only if external hoses, door seal, dispenser, and drain components have first been checked.
• Use the washer model and production index to confirm that the existing tub configuration and heater provision correspond to 245703; do not use it for WFMC1001 Classic applications requiring a no-heater-provision tub.
