# Bosch error code e101

### What this one means

The oven's temperature sensor is not reading correctly. 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.

### 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 sensor itself
- Its wiring
- In some cases the power cord connection

### Worth doing before you call

- Check the power cord wiring colors match those on the appliance, if it was recently installed
- Turn the appliance off at the breaker for five minutes

### Then what

One of the most precise codes on the appliance and one of the more affordable repairs behind it. An oven that heats to the wrong temperature confidently — rather than not heating at all — is the behavior that goes with this.

This code is published for ranges and wall ovens. 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.
