# Bosch error code F1

### What this one means

The cooking zone got hot enough to threaten the work surface and switched itself off. 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:

- **F1, F6** — the same condition, on machines of different ages

### 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 zone's own temperature protection

### What to try yourself

- Wait for it to cool, then switch the zone back on and carry on cooking
- Note whether it happens on one particular zone every time

### Then what

Protection, not a failure. If one zone does this repeatedly and the others never do, that zone’s sensing is worth looking at — but the appliance is behaving correctly either way.

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.
