# Bosch range error code E302

### What this one means

The control panel has overheated. 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:

- Heat reaching the panel from the cooktop
- A hot kitchen with no ventilation
- Pot position on the surface

### What to try yourself

- Check the room temperature — a kitchen at 85 degrees with a hob running is a real contributor here
- Move pots away from the edge nearest the control panel
- Let the appliance cool, then cut power for five minutes

### Then what

The upper-case one, and a different repair from its lower-case twin. A panel repeatedly cooked is a panel that will eventually stay dead, so it is worth changing where the pans sit rather than waiting.

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.
