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: - **E or F, D or E** — the same condition, on machines of different ages - **A letter with a number after it** — 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: - Anything the appliance treats as an internal error ### What to try yourself - Disconnect the appliance from the power supply - Wait a couple of seconds and reconnect it - Write down the exact code including every character before you do ### Then what The catch-all. What makes it useful is the number after the letter, so photograph it — the manufacturer asks for the exact code when you call, and so do we. 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.
