Bosch Oven E0 Error — Temperature Sensor Fault

What it means

E0 means the oven temperature sensor is open-circuited or has failed.
The oven cannot regulate temperature and will not heat.
Test the sensor and replace it if it reads outside spec.

Affected Models

Bosch Electric Oven
Bosch Serie 2 Oven
Bosch Serie 4 Oven
Bosch Serie 6 Oven
Bosch Serie 8 Oven

Common Causes

Failed oven temperature sensor (NTC or RTD probe)
Disconnected or broken sensor wire
Damaged sensor lead from repeated heat exposure
Control board receiving no signal from the sensor

How to Fix It

Reset the oven.

Turn off the oven at the circuit breaker for 5 minutes, then restore power.
If E0 was a temporary fault, this will clear it.
Check the sensor wire connector.

The sensor probe is mounted inside the oven cavity (usually in the upper-rear corner or side wall).
Check the wire connector — reseat it firmly if it is loose.
Test the temperature sensor with a multimeter.

Disconnect the sensor and test resistance at room temperature.
Bosch oven sensors vary by model — check your service manual for the expected resistance.
A reading of infinite resistance (open) confirms sensor failure.

When to Call a Professional

Replacing the oven temperature sensor is a DIY-friendly repair on Bosch ovens.
If E0 returns after fitting a new sensor, a Bosch technician should check the wiring harness.
