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 rangeKind of codeTemperature 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 toTemperature 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 asRange Oven Temperature Wrong
Recipes burn or come out underdone, and an oven thermometer disagrees with the temperature set on the range.

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.
Switch the breaker off.
Have the power cord connection checked so the wire colors match those on the range; do not open the terminal block yourself.
Restore power after five minutes; book a visit if e101 returns.
Still there?
It usually turns into 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.

Bosch range repair
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.
