Error E Induction plaque Bosch

What is the breakdown of the Bosch E error affecting your induction cooktop?

Oh no! Have you ever experienced trying to cook and when you turn on your Bosch induction cooktop, you see the Error Code E? If so, don't worry because in this article, we'll explain what this error means and how to resolve it quickly and easily.

Error Code E is the induction cooktop's way of indicating that there is a problem, but it doesn't specify exactly what the problem is. To find the actual error, you need to press the sensor of the cooking zone where the failure occurred and wait for it to display another more specific code.

This type of error can have several causes, including:

• A poor electrical connection between the cooktop and the outlet.
• An overload or a short circuit in the cooktop's electrical circuit.
• A fault in any of the internal components of the cooktop, such as the power module, fan, or temperature sensor.
• An obstruction or dirt in the cooktop's ventilation openings.
• An incompatibility between the cooktop and the type of pots or pans you are using.

Fortunately, most of these causes have a solution and do not require professional intervention. However, what we do need to pay attention to is the code that appears after pressing the sensor. This way, we can know exactly what the problem with our appliance might be.

How to solve the E error on the Bosch induction cooktop?

Here are some possible solutions you can try yourself to attempt to fix the E error code on your Bosch induction cooktop:

1. Restart the induction cooktop to refresh the sensors: Sometimes, these types of issues can be resolved with a simple restart of the induction cooktop. To do this, disconnect the induction cooktop from the electrical outlet for a few minutes and then reconnect it. Now, turn on the appliance and check if the error has completely disappeared.
2. Check the electrical connection between the induction cooktop and the power outlet: Ensure that the cable is not damaged, broken, burnt, loose, or poorly connected. If necessary, replace the cable with a new one or use a different power outlet. Please remember that induction cooktops generally consume high electrical voltage, so it would be advisable to disconnect other electrical appliances sharing the same power outlet as your induction cooktop.
3. Inspect the state of the electrical circuit of the induction cooktop: If there is an overload or short circuit in your electrical supply, fuses may trip or burn out. In that case, you'll need to replace the fuses with new ones.
4. Check the internal components of the induction cooktop: If you suspect that any component is faulty, you can try to repair it yourself if you have the necessary knowledge and tools, or take it to an authorized service center. Do not attempt to open the cooktop if you are unsure, as you could cause further damage or risk an electric shock.
5. Clean the ventilation openings of the induction cooktop: With usage, dust, grease, or food residues may accumulate in these openings, hindering proper air circulation and causing the induction cooktop to overheat. To clean them, use a soft brush or compressed air blower and carefully remove the dirt.
6. Verify the type of pots or pans you are using for cooking: Induction cooktops only work with containers that have a ferromagnetic bottom, meaning they contain iron or steel. If you use containers made of other materials, such as aluminum or glass, the cooktop may not detect them properly and could display an error code.

In summary, the E error code on Bosch induction cooktops indicates that there is a problem with the cooktop, but it does not specify exactly what the problem might be. To discover the actual error, you need to press the sensor in the affected area, and the cooktop will display an E error code plus an additional number.

The possible causes of this error code can be a poor electrical connection, an overload or short circuit, internal malfunction, obstruction in the ventilation openings, or incompatibility with the containers you use for cooking. The possible solutions to prevent this type of error on your Bosch induction cooktop would be as follows:

• Restart the induction cooktop to refresh the sensors
• Check the electrical connection between the induction cooktop and the power outlet
• Inspect the state of the electrical circuit of the induction cooktop
• Check the internal components of the induction cooktop
• Clean the ventilation openings of the induction cooktop
• Verify the type of pots or pans you are using for cooking

Remember that the E error code does not specify exactly what the problem with your induction cooktop might be, so we recommend making sure to press the corresponding sensor and checking the generated E error code plus the accompanying number. This way, you can have a better idea of what might be happening. Also, on our website, we have a fairly comprehensive and accurate catalog of all these errors. Good luck!
