What ERR/toP
actually means.
Bosch shows ERR/toP when a burner or zone on top is turned on during an active Self Clean. The stove refuses to run both at once.

What to do when ERR/toP shows on the stoveKind of codeMode, not a failure
Something the stove was switched into, often by accident, rather than something that broke: a control lock pressed while wiping the panel, a Sabbath setting, a showroom demo mode that lights the display and heats nothing, a reminder that a spot on the stovetop is still hot. No part is worn out, and the stove's own keys put it right.
Usually leads toNo repair
Turn off every burner or zone on top.
Shows up asStove Knob Broken or Loose
A knob spins without doing anything, wobbles, falls off in your hand, has cracked, or will not turn at all, so you cannot set a burner or the oven properly.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Bosch's own guidance for ERR/toP on its stoves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Turn off every burner or zone on top.
Start the Self Clean function again.
Book a visit if ERR/toP shows with all the knobs off.
Cleared?
The stove is working again and no part was needed. If the same letters come back while a burner or the oven is on, or the stove switches itself off again in the middle of dinner, book it as a new problem.
What not to do
ERR/toP is not a broken burner or board. It is Bosch's reminder that the top stays off while the oven cleans.

Still showing ERR/toP?
