# Bosch error code Display does not light up

### What this one means

The appliance is not receiving power, or its electronics have shut down. 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:

- **No display at all** — 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:

- The breaker
- The connection at the appliance
- The electronics

### What to try yourself

- Check the breaker for the cooktop circuit
- Test another appliance on the same supply to see whether the circuit is live

### Then what

A cooktop with no display is a power question before it is an appliance question, and it is worth answering that way round — the free check comes first.

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.
