Identify the affected zone and exact display
Describe a zone by its position, such as front left, and copy all characters in any warning. Say whether the display responds but heating does not start, or whether the controls themselves do not respond. Codes and symbols must be checked against the model: a familiar-looking letter on a different Bosch hob is not sufficient evidence of the same fault.
Induction cookware and control locks are separate questions
Bosch's induction guidance explains that suitable cookware is needed and that a control lock can prevent operation. If the problem followed a change of pans, mention that and any induction-compatible marking. Refer to your own handbook for lock instructions; do not follow a universal button sequence from a different model. Neither observation means the electronics have definitely failed.
Keep cooking and extraction symptoms distinct
For a venting hob, explain whether the concern is with a cooking zone, the integrated extractor or both. For a separate hood above the hob, give its details as a separate appliance. This avoids treating poor kitchen extraction as a hob-heating fault. Tell the office if the hob is induction or conventional electric; this enquiry does not book gas-hob work.
Cracked glass and fitted access
Stop using a hob with cracked glass, damaged controls or an electrical burning smell, and seek professional advice. Do not lift it out of the worktop, open the underside or repeatedly reset a circuit. A front photograph and a description of what is underneath, such as drawers or an oven, let you explain access without dismantling the kitchen.
Prepare the model and fault details
Include the full model and error code. A cracked glass surface should not be used. Electrical supply changes are quoted separately.
- Bosch E-Nr from accessible paperwork or appliance identification.
- Electric ceramic or induction type and the zone positions affected.
- Exact display message and when it appears during normal use.
- Recent fitting or electrical changes and any visible surface damage.
Bosch’s model finder identifies the E-Nr, FD and serial-number details on the appliance rating label.

Use an accessible label or appliance paperwork. Leave fitted units, heavy appliances and electrical covers in place. If you cannot reach the label safely, tell the office. Include any displayed message exactly as shown and describe what happened before the fault, without running repeated tests.
Access to the appliance at your address
Give the house or flat number, full postcode and the best contact for the visit. Mention stairs, lift or concierge arrangements, controlled parking and any restrictions on reaching the appliance. Tell us whether it is fitted behind a kitchen door, stacked or in a narrow cupboard.
For a tenant's domestic appliance, identify who can authorise the work and who will provide access. The office checks these arrangements before agreeing an appointment.

If you are considering a replacement
A replacement hob needs a compatible worktop opening, suitable clearances and an appropriate electrical connection. Send the installation requirements for the proposed model; a similar outside width does not prove it will fit.

Electric & induction hob repair questions
Do all Bosch hob error codes mean the same thing?
No. Send the exact display and full model reference. The matching handbook is the starting point; the code alone is not a parts order.
My new pan will not heat: does the hob need repair?
Not necessarily on an induction hob. Cookware compatibility is relevant, so mention the change of pan and check the model's cookware guidance. Do not keep testing a hob that also shows damage or trips the supply.
Can I ask about a hob with a built-in extractor?
Yes. Make clear whether cooking, extraction or both are affected. The office checks the model and requested work before arranging a visit.
Charges, scope and confirming a visit
We review the model, address and work required, explain applicable charges and confirm availability before agreeing a visit. Sending an enquiry does not take payment, reserve an appointment or guarantee a completed repair. Parts availability and the appliance's condition affect the options; further parts or work are discussed before you decide.
