Can you do it yourself?

Engineer only

Nothing to try at home

Before you start

  • Unplug it before you touch anything inside.

What to check, in order

  1. Switch it off

    There's nothing to try at home, and Bosch gives no self-help steps for this code.

  2. Book a repair

    An engineer will typically test the heating element and its temperature sensor.

When to call an engineer

Straight away. Bosch's only advice is to contact customer service.

A repair visit will usually check the heating element, its temperature sensor and the wiring back to the control board.

Before you book
  • Note the model and serial number. They're on a label inside the door, around the door frame or on the back.
  • Write down the exact code, and what the appliance was doing when it appeared.
  • Check whether it's still under warranty. If it is, the repair may cost you nothing.
