Bosch cooktops & rangetops
Induction, gas and radiant electric cooktops, plus the professional rangetops. Most of what an induction top does when something is wrong is protect itself — it switches a zone off, shows a code and waits — and telling that apart from a failure saves a great many visits.

What goes wrong with it
Symptoms we are called out to on Bosch cooktops & rangetops
Each one covers the likely causes in the order they are worth checking, and what to do in five minutes before booking anything.
-
Usually protection working Cooktop zone switching itself off
A zone that cuts out under load, or a cooktop that shuts down after a while at high power. Almost every version of this is a protection doing its job, and each one has a published code that says which.
- Cuts out after twenty minutes on high
- All zones off at once
- Comes back after it cools
-
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
-
One burner or all of them Gas burner will not light
Igniters clicking without catching, a burner that lights and goes out, or a flame that has turned yellow. Whether it is one burner or every burner is the fastest diagnostic on this site.
- Clicks but does not catch
- Lights, then goes out when released
- A yellow or lifting flame
-
Sometimes it is the pan Induction cooktop not recognizing the pan
A zone that beeps and gives up, shows a pan symbol, or heats one pan and not another. On induction the cookware is part of the appliance, and a good share of these calls end with a magnet test rather than a repair.
- Beeps and switches off after a few seconds
- Works with one pan, not another
- A pan symbol on the display
What we do on it
Repairs we carry out on Bosch cooktops & rangetops
Starting figures for this equipment in South Florida. The exact cost is confirmed after an on-site diagnostic — and this is not the whole list of what can go wrong, so call if your problem is not here.
-
from $95 Diagnostic visit
We read the code, reproduce what the appliance is doing, and check the cheap causes before anything expensive is proposed. The fee is credited toward the work when you go ahead.
- Codes read and reproduced on site
- The inexpensive causes checked first
- Credited toward the repair
-
from $210 Cooktop & induction repair
A zone that switches itself off, a panel that will not respond, or a code about supply voltage. Most of what an induction top does when something is wrong is protect itself — and telling that apart from a failure is most of this job.
- Zones cutting out under load
- Touch controls and the panel lock
- Induction modules and coil wiring
-
from $320 Cooktop glass replacement
A cracked or chipped glass top. Worth an honest conversation early, because on some models the glass is not sold separately — and where it is, it is model-specific down to the exact configuration.
- Cracks, chips and heat damage
- Availability checked before anything is booked
- Sealed and tested after fitting
-
from $145 Gas burner & igniter repair
Igniters that click without catching, burners that will not hold a flame, or a flame that is yellow when it should be blue. Whether it is one burner or all of them is the fastest diagnostic there is.
- Igniters, electrodes and the module
- Burner caps, ports and the flame itself
- Gas oven igniters that fail slowly
-
from $310 Control board replacement
The repair we most want to rule out before doing. A board is the expensive part on most of this equipment, and a good share of the symptoms that point at one turn out to be a sensor, a harness or a power supply instead.
- Confirmed before it is condemned
- Power supply and harness checked first
- OEM boards on order against the model
-
from $185 Installation & re-fitting
Fitting a replacement into an opening that was built for something else, stacking a laundry pair, or putting right an installation that has been causing problems since day one. A surprising share of what looks like a broken appliance is an appliance installed badly.
- Built-in openings, panels and trim
- Stacked laundry and closet installs
- Correcting installations that never worked
In more detail
About Bosch cooktops & rangetops
An induction top mostly protects itself
Under the glass is a set of coils and a good deal of electronics, and every one of the protections has its own code: the zone too hot for the work surface, the electronics too hot, hot cookware left standing over the control panel, a zone left running untouched for hours. In every one of those cases the cooktop switches something off and waits to be told it is safe. It is easy to read as a failure and it is the opposite of one.
Ventilation is not optional
These units need the air gap the installation instructions specify, and the two things that most often remove it are a kitchen refitted around an existing cooktop and a drawer beneath it packed to the top. A top that has been overheating for a year will eventually stop doing it politely.
Gas and the professional rangetops
Gas tops fail in a different vocabulary: an igniter that clicks without catching, a burner cap sitting a millimeter proud, ports blocked from a boil-over, a flame that lifts off the burner. The heavy rangetops add sealed burners, a griddle and rather more mass to move. On a gas top the useful information is whether it is one burner or all of them.

Before you book
Questions about bosch cooktops & rangetops
A zone turns itself off after a few minutes at high power.
That is usually the overheat protection, and it is doing its job. The electronics under the glass need somewhere to send their heat, and a blocked ventilation gap under the counter — a drawer packed full, a rear panel added later — is the commonest reason they cannot.
The controls do nothing at all, or beep and refuse.
Check the panel lock first. It engages by accident constantly — a wet cloth, a boil-over, a pan set down on the touch keys — and it is four seconds on the lock key to clear. A wet panel does the same thing without locking.
What is U400?
The cooktop telling you the supply voltage is outside the range it will run in. That is a question for the building or the utility rather than for the appliance, and it is worth knowing before anyone books a repair for it.
