Bosch Cooktop F5 (Electric / Induction / Gas) error code
The F5 code on your Bosch cooktop means hot cookware has been placed near or on the control panel area. When accompanied by a signal tone and the heat level display flashing the electronics are at risk of overheating but the zone is still on — remove the cookware immediately. When accompanied by only a signal tone the cooking zone has already switched off — remove the cookware, wait a few seconds, then touch any control element to resume.
Common causes
- Hot cookware was accidentally placed on or near the control panel
- Steam or heat from cooking is affecting the control panel area
