# 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](https://boschmiami.support/error-codes/) has the rest of them, searchable, including the labels older and newer machines use for the same conditions.
