What it looks like from the kitchen
The symptom this code usually arrives with
A code names the subsystem; the symptom is what sent you to look at the display in the first place. That page says what it usually turns out to be, cheapest cause first.
-
Check the lock first Cooktop controls locked or unresponsive
A cooktop that beeps and refuses, or does nothing at all. The panel lock engages by accident constantly — from a wet cloth, a boil-over or a pan set down on the touch keys — and clearing it takes four seconds.
- Beeps but nothing happens
- A lock symbol on the display
- Everything flashing at once

About Bosch error code Panel lock on
What this one means
The panel lock is on. It is a code the manufacturer publishes for this appliance, not one we have worked out — and it is decoded here rather than left as three characters on a display.
The other ways your machine may say it
The same condition is published under more than one label, because it has been carried across generations of this appliance:
- A lock symbol, or a panel that beeps and refuses — how a model with no digital display says it. On that machine, the lights are the code
What the code covers
A published cause names a circuit rather than a component, which is the single most useful thing to know before ordering a part. This one covers:
- A lock set deliberately, or triggered by a spill or a pan
What to try yourself
- Hold the clean lock or child lock key for four seconds to unlock
- Hold it again for four seconds to put the lock back on
Then what
It engages by accident constantly — a wet cloth dragged across the glass, a boil-over, something set down on the key. Four seconds and a dry panel resolve more of these calls than any part on this site.
This code is published for cooktops & rangetops and ranges. The full list of codes has the rest of them, searchable, including the labels older and newer machines use for the same conditions.
