Bosch double wall oven - shuts off when door opens?

13 years ago

I posted this on the appliance forum, but am posting it here as well, since several on this board chimed in about their Bosch ovens. I'm down to two double wall oven choices: The GE Cafe or the Bosch 300 series. I thought I was set to go with the Bosch, but read this morning that if you open the door to check something, the oven stops working, and you have to push start again. I can see this being a disaster in my house, if it's true, as we have multiple cooks here who like to get involved - and I don't think I want to have to restart the oven each time I check things or stir my roasting vegetables.

Can anyone speak to whether this is true? If it is, I think I'll have to go with the Cafe. Input appreciated, I have to decide pronto!

    I've got a 500, but I imagine it's the same: the convection fan stops turning when you open the door, to avoid you being blasted with heat. Once you close the door it automatically comes back on.

    They recommend you turn the light on to check your cooking, if having the fan go off for that time is a problem (say, with a souffle, but you wouldn't open the oven for that anyway!)

    Same as sara: The convection fan will turn off automatically but turn back on automatically when you close the door. No need to restart.

    Thanks, that's good to hear and was confirmed by the appliance store today. We're good to go!

    My Wolf oven does the same thing -- avoids blowing more heat out of the oven when the door is open. It's actually a good thing.

    Ditto!
    Go snag that oven :-)

    You guys put my mind at rest, we're going with the 500. So excited for all this to finally happen after months of researching and planning - everything but the countertop is ordered, phew!

    Mine shuts off eve when it is not on CONVECTION bake...when it is on regular bake. Why?

    Jo, we're having the same issue. Open the door on back and it ask if you want to use convection and when shutting the door it shuts off completely.

    We are having the same issue on our Bosch range, and they've replace the front control panel 3 times now and it's still malfunctioning. Open the door, and it then displays 350 convection oven push start. Once we got a "call this 1-800 number" message and the unit went completely dead. They claim there's no bulletins or widespread issues. We continue to wait for a fix for this just out of warranty range.

    My dual fuel does exactly the same thing. The repairman is scheduled for the third time since June!

    Ours does the same thing when using the regular oven and asks to us convection then shuts off. Anybody resolve this problem?

    We have a brand new series 800 dual fuel with this problem. Bosch has already replaced the touchpad once, and the problem returned immediately. Has this been resolved for anyone? Or did you have to get an entirely new oven?

    We have a new 800 series used it twice and both times shut off when door opened and E011 error code

    Bosch technician came after first issue and opened control panel said wire pinched and this could be problem technician turned on stove with nothing in it and did not see problem.

    We put a pot of boiling water in stove to simmulate brasing and door opening shut down stove

    Have asked Bosch to replace and running into resistance

    will see if company stands behind products

    I have been having this very problem with my Bosch 800 series Model HDIP056U since I got it 5 years ago. Thought i must be missing something because it was supposed to be a high rnd stove. had the board replaced and it still continued to shut off when I opened the door while regular baking to check. i have had another repair service out and no one can figure out the problem. i am so frustrated!!!

    Do I just get another stove to save my sanity?

    Did anyone get Bosch to stand behind a replacement? Dont want another Bosch.

    HU-310306458, Like I said above.

    "Once the condensation on the panel evaporates, the panel works like it should and inputs are accepted. Video made and uploaded to You Tube 1/8/24: https://youtu.be/7BMtU5ZEv9Q

    I've had 4 service calls and replaced 3 parts, and it has the same problem it has had since new in July 2023."

    I have found that opening the oven door all the way lets more steam straight out the front instead of just opening it a little and all of the steam goes up the to the panel.

    I've pleaded with some VPs in California, and I finally just decided to live with it as it will be my last Bosch appliance.

    Thank you. i get what you are saying now. I will try opening door wider to see how it works for me. i am very dissappointed in this product. I plan to discuss with the manager of the appliance store where I purchased all our appliances m, to see if he offers any suggestions or alternatives.
