Bosch Oven and Range Error Codes: What They Mean and What to Try
What Bosch range and wall oven codes such as E011, E302 and E9000 mean, which ones you can clear yourself, and when the oven needs a technician.
A Bosch range or wall oven shows a code when its electronics notice something they cannot handle on their own: a keypad that will not respond, a sensor reading that makes no sense, a door lock that will not release, or power arriving at the wrong voltage. Some codes clear with a simple power cycle. Others mean a part has failed and the oven should not be used until it is looked at.
Bosch uses different code sets on freestanding ranges, slide-in and induction ranges, and wall ovens, so the same letters can mean different things on two models. Your model number is usually printed on a label you can see when the oven door or the storage drawer is open. Note it down along with the exact code before you book a repair.
Turn the range off at the breaker before cleaning the control panel, and never open the back panel or touch the wiring. Supply voltage and wiring checks are for a licensed electrician.
On a dual fuel or gas range, any smell of gas or problem with the gas burners needs a licensed gas technician. We repair the electric side only.
Control panel and electronics codes
| Code | What it means | What you can safely check | When to call a technician |
|---|---|---|---|
| E011 (E11) | The touch controls are not reading properly | Wipe the panel clean and dry, then cycle the breaker. | Keys still do not respond |
| E005 | The display and the power board have lost contact | Breaker off for five minutes, then back on. | Code returns after the power cycle |
| E100 | General electronics fault | Breaker off for five minutes, then back on. | Code returns after the power cycle |
| E and a number | A fault code, usually with beeping | Press any key to silence it, then reset the oven. | The same code keeps showing |
Bosch range E011 (E11) error
E011 means the oven cannot read the touch panel properly, often because of grease, spills or moisture on the glass. Wipe the panel clean, dry it thoroughly, then switch the range off at the breaker for five minutes and back on. If the code comes back on a dry, clean panel, the touch control itself is likely faulty.
Model note: Bosch wall ovens show the same fault as E11 and note that condensation on the keypad can cause it.
Bosch range E005 error
E005 shows when the control panel you press and the power board behind it stop talking to each other. A five minute power cycle at the breaker sometimes restores the link. If it returns, the cause is usually a loose connection or a failing board, and that needs a technician.
Bosch range E100 error
E100 is a general electronics fault: the control has found a problem it cannot pin down any further. Cycle the power at the breaker once. If E100 comes back, the control electronics need testing in person.
Bosch range E and a number error
On many Bosch wall ovens and slide-in ranges, an E followed by digits, with the control beeping, simply means a fault has been logged. Press any button to stop the beeping and reset the oven. If the same code keeps coming back, write it down, switch the oven off and book a repair.
Model note: The number after the E identifies the fault, so tell the technician the full code.

Sensor, door lock and self clean codes
| Code | What it means | What you can safely check | When to call a technician |
|---|---|---|---|
| E101 | Temperature sensor fault | Breaker off for five minutes, then back on. | Code returns, or the oven heats wrongly |
| E126 | Door lock fault during self clean | Cancel Self Clean, wait for the door to unlock, start it again. | Door will not lock or unlock |
| ERR/toP | A burner or element was turned on during self clean | Turn off the cooktop, then restart Self Clean. | Rarely needed |
Bosch range E101 error
E101 means the oven's temperature sensor is giving readings the control cannot trust, so it cannot hold the right heat. Try one power cycle at the breaker. If the code returns, the sensor or its wiring needs checking, and Bosch's own advice to confirm the power cord connection is a job for a technician or electrician, not a homeowner.
Bosch range E126 error
E126 points to the motorised door lock that holds the door shut during self clean. Cancel the cycle, wait until the lock releases, then start self clean again. If the door stays locked or the code returns, the lock assembly needs a technician. Never force the door open.
Bosch range ERR/toP error
ERR/toP is not a fault. It appears because a cooktop zone was switched on while the oven was self cleaning, which the range does not allow. Turn off every cooktop zone and start self clean again.
Overheating codes
| Code | What it means | What you can safely check | When to call a technician |
|---|---|---|---|
| E302 | Control panel or power board too hot | Move hot pots away from the controls and let it cool. | Code returns once the range is cool |
| F1 (F6) | Induction cooking zone overheated and switched off | Let it cool, then switch the zone back on. | Happens on normal cooking |
| F2 (F4, E7015) | Induction electronics overheated | Let it cool, then touch any control. | Repeats after cooling |
| F5 | Hot cookware near the controls | Move the pan off the control area. | Shows with nothing near the controls |
| F8 | Safety timer turned a zone off | Touch any control and set the zone again. | Rarely needed |
Bosch range E302 error
E302 means the electronics have got too hot. On freestanding ranges this is often heat from pots sitting close to the control panel, or a very warm kitchen. Move the pans, let the range cool fully, then cycle the breaker. If it keeps happening with nothing hot nearby, have the cooling fan and boards checked.
Model note: Bosch lists a lower case e302 for an overheated power board, which needs a technician, and an upper case E302 for an overheated control panel.
Bosch range F1 (F6) error
On Bosch induction slide-in ranges, F1 or F6 means a cooking zone got too hot and shut itself off to protect the glass. Let it cool down and turn the zone back on. If it trips during ordinary cooking with suitable pans, the zone's sensor or electronics need a look.
Model note: Induction slide-in ranges only.
Bosch range F2 (F4, E7015) error
F2, F4 or E7015 on an induction range means the electronics under the glass overheated and a zone was turned off. Wait for it to cool, touch any control, and carry on once the message clears. Repeated overheating usually points to a blocked or failing cooling fan.
Model note: Induction slide-in ranges only.
Bosch range F5 error
F5 means a hot pan is sitting on or near the touch controls and the electronics are at risk. Move the pan away, wait a few seconds and touch any control to carry on. If F5 appears with the control area clear, the panel's sensor may be at fault.
Model note: Induction slide-in ranges only.
Bosch range F8 error
F8 with an H appears when a zone has been left on for a long time with no one touching the controls, so the safety timer switched it off. Touch any control and set the zone again. It is a safety feature, not a fault.
Model note: Induction slide-in ranges only.
Power supply and setup codes
| Code | What it means | What you can safely check | When to call a technician |
|---|---|---|---|
| E9000 (E9010, U400) | Supply voltage outside the normal range | Note whether other appliances are affected. | Electrician or utility first, then a technician |
| E310 | Power supply problem | Breaker off for five minutes, then back on. | Code returns, or after any recent electrical work |
| E9011 | The range is not wired correctly | Nothing to try yourself: book a technician. | Straight away, especially after a new install |
| dE | Demo mode is on, so zones will not heat | Breaker off for 30 seconds, then touch a control within 3 minutes. | Demo mode will not switch off |
Bosch range E9000 (E9010, U400) error
E9000, E9010 or U400 means the voltage reaching the range is too high or too low for it to run safely. The fault is usually in the home's supply rather than the range itself, so a licensed electrician or your utility should check it first. If the supply is fine and the code stays, book a repair.
Model note: Slide-in and induction ranges.
Bosch range E310 error
E310 on a freestanding range means the power supply is not right. Cycle the breaker once. Checking the voltage at the house wiring is work for a licensed electrician, and if the supply checks out, the range's power board should be tested.
Model note: Freestanding ranges.
Bosch range E9011 error
E9011 means the range has not been connected the way its wiring diagram requires. It usually shows soon after a new installation or a move. Leave it switched off at the breaker and have the connection checked by a technician or licensed electrician.
Bosch range dE error
dE on an induction range means demo mode is switched on, which is why the zones light up but stay cold. Switch the breaker off for 30 seconds, turn it back on and touch any control within three minutes. The range should then heat normally.
Model note: Induction slide-in ranges only.
How to reset your Bosch range
Bosch's documented reset for a range is a power cycle at the breaker, not a button sequence. It clears a one-off glitch, but it does not fix a failed part, so if the same code returns, stop resetting and book a repair.
- Switch the range off at its circuit breaker in your electrical panel.
- Wait five minutes so the electronics fully power down.
- Switch the breaker back on and check whether the code is gone.
- If the code comes straight back, leave the range off and note the code and model number for the technician.
Frequently asked questions
What does E011 mean on my Bosch range?
E011 means the oven cannot read its touch controls properly, usually because of moisture, grease or a spill on the panel. Clean and dry the panel, then switch the range off at the breaker for five minutes. If the code returns on a clean, dry panel, the touch control needs replacing.
What does E302 mean on my Bosch range?
E302 means the electronics have overheated. Move hot pans away from the control panel and let the range cool before using it again. If it keeps happening with nothing hot nearby, the cooling fan or a board should be checked.
What does E9000 mean on my Bosch range?
E9000 means the voltage reaching the range is outside its safe range. That is usually a supply problem in the home, so have a licensed electrician or your utility check it first. If the supply is fine and the code stays, the range needs a repair.
What does E126 mean on my Bosch range?
E126 is a door lock fault during self clean. Cancel the cycle, wait for the door to unlock and start again. If the lock will not engage or release, book a technician rather than forcing the door.
