# Bosch freestanding range showing e101

Bosch lists e101 when the temperature sensor on a freestanding range malfunctions.

## What e101 actually means.

Bosch lists e101 when the temperature sensor on a freestanding range malfunctions. Its first check is the power cord: the wire colors should match the colors on the range.

Bosch range display

What to do when e101 shows on the range

### Kind of code Temperature sensor

The oven sensor sent a reading the control would not accept, or one that climbed well past the setting. A loose plug or a sensor that has drifted is ruled out before the control board, and a temperature that keeps rising means the range is switched off at the breaker first.

### Usually leads to Temperature sensor and thermostat repair

A range oven that bakes hot, bakes slow, takes forever to preheat or posts a sensor code, traced to the sensor probe, the thermostat or the calibration.

### Shows up as Range Oven Temperature Wrong

Recipes burn or come out underdone, and an oven thermometer disagrees with the temperature set on the range.

### Make Bosch

A BSH brand known in the US for slide-in ranges in gas, electric, dual-fuel and induction versions.

### Source Bosch "Freestanding Range Error Codes" (Electric and Gas Freestanding Ranges)

Only Bosch's freestanding ranges use e101; the slide-in models have their own list.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Bosch's own guidance for e101 on its ranges. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Switch the breaker off.

02

Have the power cord connection checked so the wire colors match those on the range; do not open the terminal block yourself.

03

Restore power after five minutes; book a visit if e101 returns.

### Still there?

It usually turns into [temperature sensor and thermostat repair](https://rangerepair.center/services/temperature-sensor-and-thermostat-repair/). Book with the code and the model number.

### What not to do

e101 is not an overheating code for the board; that is e302.

## What you may notice with it.

The range problems e101 tends to arrive with. Answer these at the range before anyone is booked.

### Gas range

Open flames on top and a gas-fired oven below, all fed by one supply line behind the range and lit by igniters rather than a match.

### Electric range

Coil elements or radiant elements under a smooth glass top, with an electric oven below, all running on a dedicated 240-volt circuit.

### Dual-fuel range

Gas burners on top and an electric oven below, the combination most professional-style ranges use, needing both a gas line and a 240-volt circuit.

## Questions about e101.

### Can I clear e101 myself?

Switch the breaker off. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Why does Bosch check the power cord for a sensor code like e101?

A cord connected with the wires swapped can give the control wrong readings. Bosch rules that out before the sensor is blamed.

### My Bosch range was just installed and shows e101. Who should I call?

Start with the installer, since Bosch points first at the cord connection. If that checks out, book a visit for the sensor.
