Reading the code

Errors usually appear as E plus a number on the oven display and may beep. To clear one, press Clear/Off or any button only if the display allows it, then switch power off at the breaker for a minute and turn it back on after the oven is cool; stop using the oven if the code returns. Panel Lock, Sabbath Mode, SABBATH ON, TEMP NOT ALLOWED, and the door lock symbol are status or setting messages, not fault codes.

Have the model number ready

The company will ask for it first. It's on a sticker or metal plate, usually in one of these spots:

Behind the storage drawer, on the frame
Or on the oven frame, visible with the door open

26 codes

CodeWhat it meansCheck firstUsually

E305 / E005The oven lost communication between the user interface, touch control module, or control module.Needs a technician because the display, touch control module, control module, or wiring harness must be tested inside the appliance.Usually a technician

E115 / E215The upper or lower oven cavity got too hot while the door was not locked.Let the oven cool with the door closed, then reset power at the breaker for a minute; if it returns, stop using the oven.Often a home check

E011The control detected one touch key pressed too long or a bad key on the touchpad.With power off and the oven cool, clean and dry the touch panel, then reset power.Often a home check

E118 / E218The upper or lower cooling fan speed is too low or too high.Needs a technician because the cooling fan, fan speed sensor, airflow path, and wiring require internal checks.Usually a technician

E302The control module got too hot and the oven paused heating.Needs a technician because cooling airflow, relays, elements, and the control module may need internal testing.Usually a technician

E101 / E201The upper or lower cavity temperature sensor circuit is open or disconnected.Needs a technician because the oven temperature sensor and its wiring must be tested with the appliance opened.Usually a technician

E104 / E204The upper or lower cavity temperature sensor circuit is shorted to ground.Needs a technician because the sensor circuit or wiring may be shorted and must be tested inside the oven.Usually a technician

Common questions about appliance repair

Can I reset a Bosch oven error code myself?

You can try a breaker reset for a minute after the oven is cool. If the code returns, stop using the oven and contact a repair company.

Why does E011 or E032 keep coming back?

Moisture, grease, or a stuck touch key can hold a key signal on. Clean and dry the panel with power off; a repeating code usually means the touch panel or user interface needs a technician.

Are E1 and E2 codes different on double ovens?

Yes. In Bosch wall oven service tables, E1 codes usually apply to the upper or single cavity and E2 codes to the lower cavity.

Do older Bosch ovens use the same codes as newer models?

Many codes match, but older 2007 era HBL and HBN wall ovens include codes such as E003, E012, E014, and E118 that don't appear in some newer service tables.

Still showing the problem after the checks?

Call and describe what you tried. You'll be connected with an independent repair company near you.
