Error 22 Induction plaque Bosch

What is the fault of error 22 Bosch affecting your induction hob?

An error that can be very easy to solve! Since it is likely that you don't have to do much to resolve it, just disconnect and let your induction hob rest. As we know, Bosch induction hobs are of very good and high quality, but like any electronic device, they can fail sporadically, especially if they have not been given the proper maintenance.

If you are here, it's because you have a Bosch induction hob and the error code 22 has appeared on the screen. You don't have to worry, fortunately for you, Bosch has a list of error codes that can occur in their appliances, and thanks to this, we can identify what the fault might be.

The error code 22 indicates a communication failure between the electronic PCB and the control panel (touchpad) of your appliance. This can cause the hob to not work correctly or not respond to your commands. In fact, you may not be able to turn it on, while other basic functions such as the clock may work correctly. But since what we want is to cook and not to know the time, we will leave you here with the possible causes that can cause this problem:

• A failure in the power supply or an overvoltage that has affected the induction hob.
• A poor connection or a loose cable between the electronic PCB and the control panel.
• A general failure in the electronic PCB or in the control panel (touchpad).
• An accumulation of dirt or grease on the control panel that prevents contact with the sensors.

How to fix error 22 on Bosch induction cooktop?

The good news is that this problem can have a quick and simple solution. To achieve this goal and solve error code 22, you can follow these steps below:

1. Restart the induction hob to refresh the sensors: Let's start with the simplest thing you can do, and it's very likely that this step alone can fix the problem. Turn off your induction hob completely and disconnect it from the power outlet for about 45 minutes or at least 1 hour. After the time has passed, reconnect it and turn on your induction hob to check if the error has disappeared. It's possible that the induction hob has some condensation or moisture between its components, and that's why it avoids turning on to prevent further damage. You have to wait for it to dry completely before you can turn it on again.
2. Clean the control panel thoroughly with a soft, damp cloth: Remove any dirt or grease that may interfere with the operation of the sensors. Dry the panel well before using it again. Please do not use very abrasive products to clean your induction hob.
3. Perform preventive maintenance on the electronic PCB and control panel: Disconnect your induction hob completely and disassemble and expose these components. Please use an electronic cleaner to thoroughly clean the components of your appliance. If you have and/or have access to an ultrasound device with distilled water, it's a good idea to pass these components through this process to rule out faults and perform a complete and absolute cleaning.
4. Check the connections and cables between the electronic board and the control panel: Make sure there are no loose, broken, burnt, scorched, or damaged cables. If necessary, replace the defective cables or adjust their connections. It is important that this wiring is in perfect condition without exception, as if any of these cables are not in good condition, it could disrupt communication between the electronic PCB of your induction hob and the control panel (touchpad).
5. Verify the condition of the electronic PCB and the control panel: If, after checking the wiring, the problem persists, then you will need to check the condition of the electronic PCB and the control panel of your appliance. If you detect any burned, broken, or damaged components, you will need to replace them with new ones or contact a specialized technical service because to carry out this procedure successfully, you will need advanced knowledge in electronics and rely on the use of a multimeter.
6. Repeat all the previous steps and make sure to follow everything to the letter if the problem persists: If you wish, you can perform a second check of everything we have described above. Sometimes, it may be necessary to carry out several tests to find the exact cause of the error and fix it. If the problem persists even after repeated attempts, then it may be time to call in the experts.
7. Request a review of your induction hob from Bosch technical support: If, after following all the previous steps, the error code continues to appear, it may be a more complex problem that requires the intervention of a qualified professional. In this case, it would be best to call Bosch's technical service to have a thorough inspection of your induction hob and offer you an appropriate solution.

To summarize, error code 22 is due to a communication failure between the electronic board and the control panel of your Bosch induction hob. To solve this fault that affects your induction hob, in a very summary way we can tell you that you can do the following:

• Restart the induction hob to refresh the sensors
• Clean the control panel well with a soft, damp cloth
• Do preventive maintenance on the PCB electronic board and the control panel
• Check the connections and cables between the electronic board and the control panel
• Check the status of the electronic board and the control panel
• Repeat all the steps above and make sure to follow everything exactly if the problem persists
• Request a review of your induction hob with Bosch technical support
