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.
-
Check the lock first Cooktop controls locked or unresponsive
A cooktop that beeps and refuses, or does nothing at all. The panel lock engages by accident constantly — from a wet cloth, a boil-over or a pan set down on the touch keys — and clearing it takes four seconds.
- Beeps but nothing happens
- A lock symbol on the display
- Everything flashing at once

What else belongs to the cooktops & rangetops
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.
Other codes this appliance can display
Supply voltage
Wired incorrectly
Zone overheated
Electronics overheated
Hot pan on the panel
Automatic time limit

About Bosch error code Animations on the displays
What this one means
The appliance is running its own maintenance — a firmware update, an optimization or a self-check.
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:
- Animations running on the zone displays — how a model with no digital display says it. On that machine, the lights are the code
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:
- Scheduled internal housekeeping
What to try yourself
- Wait until the animation finishes before switching the cooktop on
Then what
Rare enough that most owners have never seen it, and alarming when it happens. Nothing is wrong; the appliance is busy.
This code is published for cooktops & rangetops and ranges. The full list of codes has the rest.
