Bosch Range / Oven E11: Touch Controls Need Attention

Documentation checkedBy ErrHiveUpdated October 28, 2026

THE SHORT ANSWER

The touch controls are not operating correctly.

Bosch says E11 can relate to condensation at the touch keys. Dry the control panel; its support page permits a 10-second supply interruption.

First safe check

When the surface is safe to touch, use a dry cloth on the control panel.

Applies to

Bosch US oven and microwave support; controls differ by model.
