Bosch Range E011 / e011 Error Code

Bosch first recommends cleaning and drying the control panel, then one five-minute breaker reset. If E011 returns, Bosch directs the owner to support or service.

Applies to Bosch range using E011 for a touch-sensor condition

What the appliance detected

Detected condition

The control detected that the touch sensor on the oven control panel is not operating normally.

What may contribute

Possible causes

  • Moisture, residue, or contamination may interfere with the touch panel.
  • The panel may continue registering a touch or sensor fault after cleaning.
  • A persistent E011 can require control or wiring diagnosis.

Start conservatively

Safe preliminary checks

Work in order and stop whenever a step is not supported by the documentation for your model.

  1. Record E011 and the model

    • Photograph the display and note the complete Bosch model or E-Nr.
    • Confirm the model documentation uses E011 for the same touch-sensor condition.
  2. Clean and dry the control surface

    • Let the cooking and control area cool, then wipe the external panel clean and dry.
    • Do not spray cleaner into seams or remove the control panel.
  3. Use one documented breaker reset

    • If there is no immediate hazard, switch the appliance off at the breaker for five minutes and restore power once.
    • If E011 returns, stop resetting and arrange Bosch support or qualified service.

Actions not recommended

  • Do not remove the control panel or test internal sensors, wiring, voltage, or boards.
  • Do not keep cycling the breaker when E011 returns.
  • Do not replace the user interface or control based on the code alone.

When to stop and request service

  • E011 remains after the panel is clean and dry and one reset is completed.
  • The controls are unresponsive, erratic, or activate unexpectedly.
  • Internal interface, wiring, or control diagnosis is required.
