--- title: "Bosch E-xx: an E and two digits on a Bosch speed oven or microwave" description: "What E-xx means on Bosch E-xx: an E and two digits on a Bosch speed oven or microwaves, what to check before booking, and when it is not a failure at all." url: "https://microwaverepair.center/error-codes/bosch-e-xx/" --- # Bosch E-xx: an E and two digits on a Bosch speed oven or microwave Bosch does not publish the individual E-numbers for its microwaves. ## What E-xx actually means. Bosch does not publish the individual E-numbers for its microwaves. Its speed oven manual and its support page both treat any E-number as a malfunction the owner cannot clear, and both ask you to write the number down and cut the power at the breaker. Bosch microwave display · also shown as E and a number What to do when E-xx shows on the microwave ### Kind of code Control board and touchpad The electronics that read the keys and run the cycle have flagged a problem with themselves: a key that the control sees as held down for too long, a membrane keypad worn through or swollen by steam, a lost link between the keypad and the board, or a board that failed its own check after a surge. A breaker reset now and then clears a glitch; a stuck key or a code that comes straight back points to the keypad or the board. ### Usually leads to Microwave control board and touchpad repair Tracing a dead display, keys that do not answer or a code that keeps returning to the keypad, the ribbon, the relays or the main board, and replacing only the part that failed. ### Shows up as What a Microwave Error Code Is Telling You A microwave error code may be a letter and a number on the display, a lock or demo word, a row of dashes, or a beep with a blinking clock, and it can show while the microwave still heats or block every key until it is cleared. ### Make Bosch Bosch microwaves serviced in your kitchen, from a hood combination whose fan has gone quiet to a drawer that no longer slides out. ### Source Bosch 500 Series HMC54151UC speed oven Use and Care Manual Printed in the Use and Care Manual for the 500 Series HMC54151UC speed oven; Bosch's oven and microwave support page uses the same wording for its microwaves in general. ## Before you book, in this order. Each step comes from Bosch's own guidance for E-xx on its microwaves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit. 01 Write down the exact letters and digits on the display. 02 Switch off the circuit breaker for the microwave and leave it off. 03 Book a visit and give the number when you book, so the technician can look it up before arriving. ### Still there? It usually turns into [microwave control board and touchpad repair](https://microwaverepair.center/services/microwave-control-board-and-touchpad-repair/). Book with the code and the model number. ### What not to do E-xx is not E-11, which Bosch lists separately as a keypad problem you can often clear yourself. A blank display with no letters at all is a supply question, not this code. ## What you may notice with it. The microwave problems E-xx tends to arrive with.

Write down the exact letters and digits on the display. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Where can I look up my Bosch microwave's E-number? Bosch does not list the numbers for owners. Keep the number and pass it on when you book; the technician reads it against Bosch service data. ### Should I keep resetting my Bosch after an E-code? Bosch's instruction is to switch the breaker off and get service, not to keep restarting. One reset to see whether it was a one-off is reasonable; repeated codes are not. ### Does an E-code mean my Bosch speed oven's microwave half is gone? Not necessarily. The same E-code system covers the whole appliance, so the number decides whether it is the convection side, the microwave side or the control. --- **[Read on the site: Bosch E-xx: an E and two digits on a Bosch speed oven or microwave](https://microwaverepair.center/error-codes/bosch-e-xx/)** **[Book a visit with MicrowaveRepair.center](https://microwaverepair.center/schedule/)**
