Possible Causes

Control in demo mode, Child lock activated, Door switch not detecting closed door, Faulty relay on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the oven is empty before testing functions.

  • Check child lock: Look for a lock icon on the display. Follow the user manual to disable the child lock (often by holding a specific key combination).
  • Exit demo mode: Some Bosch ranges have a demo mode. Refer to the manual to exit this mode.
  • Test door switch: Open and close the door; the oven light should respond. If not, the door switch may be faulty.
  • Control board: If interlocks are good, the electronic oven control may not be energizing relays and may need replacement.
