What the appliance detected
Detected condition
The induction electronics overheated and protective logic disabled the affected cooking zone.
What may contribute
Possible causes
- High heat or prolonged operation may raise electronics temperature.
- Blocked ventilation or heat near the controls may contribute.
- A repeated event can require cooling, sensing, or power-electronics diagnosis.
Start conservatively
Safe preliminary checks
Work in order and stop whenever a step is not supported by the documentation for your model.
Stop the affected cooking zone
- Pause cooking and move hot cookware only when safe.
- Let the range cool without removing panels or reaching into ventilation openings.
Keep ventilation and controls clear
- Remove objects or cookware crowding the control area or documented ventilation path.
- Do not place towels, mats, foil, or other items where airflow is required.
Resume only after cooling
- Wait until the electronics cool and the message disappears, then touch a normal control as Bosch documents.
- If the code repeats, stop use of the affected zone and request service.
Actions not recommended
- Do not open the cooktop or test fans, sensors, wiring, boards, or live voltage.
- Do not bypass protection or repeatedly restart the zone before it cools.
- Do not use sprays or liquids to cool the appliance.
When to stop and request service
- F2, F4, or E7015 repeats during normal use after cooling and external airflow checks.
- Controls remain unavailable or the range becomes abnormally hot.
- Internal cooling, sensor, wiring, or induction-electronics diagnosis is required.
