• 🔧 Authorized service centers. Addresses can be found on the Bosch website in the "Support" section. Many centers sell spare parts even without repair.
• 📦 Bosch branded stores (if there are any in your city). For example, in Moscow this is the “Bosch Store” on Leninsky Prospekt.

⚠️ Attention: On the official Bosch website, spare parts articles are sometimes indicated without photographs. Check the appearance of the handle with the manager so as not to be confused with parts for other models (for example, handles for Bosch Serie 8 and Serie 6 may look the same, but have different fastenings).

If there is no time to wait, and the original pen is too expensive, many turn to Wildberries, Ozon, Yandex Market or AliExpress. Here you can find a part 30–50% cheaper, but there are nuances:

• 🔍 Check the reviews. Look for photos of real buyers - sellers often post photos of original pens and send cheap replicas.

• 🛡️ Pay attention to the seller's rating. On Wildberries and Ozon, it is better to choose trusted suppliers with a rating above 4.8.

On AliExpress handles for Bosch cost from 500 rubles, but delivery can take up to a month. But there are rare models here that are not available on Russian sites. For example, handles for old refrigerators Bosch KGN39XL30 or KIR81AF30.

Check the diameter of the holes for the screws (must match the door fastenings).
