What's Happening
The sensor or its wiring has a short circuit — abnormally low resistance. The oven detects what it thinks is an extremely high temperature and shuts down.
How to Fix It
Disconnect power. Inspect sensor wiring for damage or pinched wires against the oven frame. Test the sensor — if near 0 ohms, it's shorted. Replace the sensor or repair wiring.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does E-11 mean on a Bosch oven?
E-11 means the temperature sensor has a short circuit, giving false high-temperature readings to the control board.
Can damaged wiring cause E-11?
Yes. Wires pinched against the oven frame can short and mimic a failed sensor. Inspect wiring before buying a new sensor.
Is E-11 dangerous on a Bosch oven?
The oven shuts down as a safety measure, so immediate danger is managed. But don't use the oven until the short is found and fixed.
