What we can confirm
Code Animations on the displays, from the manufacturer's own pages
A code is only meaningful together with the generation showing it — the same two digits mean different things across generations.

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 Animations on the displays
What this one means
The appliance is running its own maintenance — a firmware update, an optimization or a self-check. 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:
- Animations running on the zone displays — 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:
- Scheduled internal housekeeping
What to try yourself
- Wait until the animation finishes before switching the cooktop on
Then what
Rare enough that most owners have never seen it, and alarming when it happens. Nothing is wrong; the appliance is busy.
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.
