Bosch electric range HES255AUC troubles ?

18 years ago

This is the smooth top with the pull off magnetic control knob that was made two years ago. Oven heating element seems to be burning a pattern into the bottom of the oven. Takes longer to boil water, takes longer to bake a potato. Anybody have this stuff ? Any recalls on this fine piece of junk ? I know, I should have known better.

Darboydoughboy - is there an update on your Bosch issue? I'm seriously considering the Bosch 36" electric cooktop with a telescopic downdraft (downdraft is necessary in my kitchen). I have looked at the KitchenAid integrated downdraft but am almost sure I want the Bosch. I've had JennAir for too long and just have not been happy with that brand. Appreciate anything on this subject. Thanks.

Hi Rosalita, Bosch will give me some credit but not a full refund to buy another Bosch range. Have not found out how much yet. We are thinking it must be an isolated incident where a worker installed the hidden bake element too close to the porcelen bottom and now the bottom is melting. Good luck to you Rosalita !!
