What it looks like from the kitchen
The symptom this code usually arrives with
A code names the subsystem; the symptom is what sent you to look at the display in the first place. That page says what it usually turns out to be, cheapest cause first.
-
Often moisture, not electronics Oven controls not responding
A touch panel that ignores you, responds to the wrong key, or works intermittently. Condensation on the glass causes this far more often than a failed control, and it has a published code of its own.
- Panel ignores touches entirely
- The wrong function starts
- Works when cold, not when cooking
On the same appliance
What else belongs to the wall ovens
On this make a code belongs to the appliance rather than to a product line. These are the other conditions this machine can display, and the models that can show this one — a display often has more than one thing to say, and the model number decides what any of it costs to put right.

About Bosch error code e011
What this one means
The touch keys are not working properly, often because of condensation on the panel.
The other ways your machine may say it
The same condition is published under more than one label, because it has been carried across generations of this appliance:
- e011, E11 — the same condition, on machines of different ages
What the code covers
A published cause names a circuit rather than a component, which is the single most useful thing to know before ordering a part. This one covers:
- Moisture on the glass
- Residue on the panel
- The touch assembly itself
What to try yourself
- Clean the control panel with a dry cloth and give it a few minutes
- Switch the fuse off for ten seconds and back on
- Note whether it only misbehaves while the hob below is in use
Then what
The manufacturer names condensation as a cause in its own guidance for this code, which is worth knowing before anybody books a control panel. Steam rising from a hob onto the glass produces exactly this and it is not a repair.
This code is published for wall ovens and ranges. The full list of codes has the rest.
