# Bosch induction stove shows F1 or F6

Bosch shows F1 or F6 when a zone overheats and switches off to protect the glass.

## What F1 actually means.

Bosch shows F1 or F6 when a zone overheats and switches off to protect the glass. An empty pan left on high or a pan boiled dry is a common cause.

Bosch stove display · also shown as F6

What to do when F1 shows on the stove

### Kind of code Stovetop elements

A burner on an electric or induction stovetop did not heat the way the knob or key asked, heated with nothing set, or ran hotter than the setting. The pan, a lock left on and the switch behind the knob are checked before the element under the glass, its limiter or an induction board is changed. If a burner keeps heating after it has been switched off, turn the stove's breaker off before anything else.

### Usually leads to Glass stovetop repair

Smooth glass stovetops on electric and induction stoves with a cold circle, a cracked or chipped top, or a hot-surface light that stays on, repaired under the glass or with a new top.

### Shows up as Stovetop Not Heating

The burners on an electric, glass or induction stovetop stay cold or warm up only a little, sometimes all of them and sometimes two on one side, while the oven below may still work.

### Make Bosch

A German appliance maker, part of BSH, whose stoves are usually the slide-in kind that sits level with the counter.

### Source Bosch: slide-in range error codes

F1 is listed here: Bosch's slide-in range code page, listed under induction slide-in models.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Bosch's own guidance for F1 on its stoves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Take the pan off the zone and let the glass and electronics cool.

02

Set the zone again once it has cooled, and keep cooking.

03

Book a visit if F1 or F6 returns with a normal pan and normal use.

### Still there?

It usually turns into [glass stovetop repair](https://stoverepair.center/services/glass-stovetop-repair/). Book with the code and the model number.

### What not to do

F1 does not mean the zone missed your pan. It found the pan fine, then ran too hot beneath it.

## What you may notice with it.

The stove problems F1 tends to arrive with. Answer these at the stove before anyone is booked.

## Questions about F1.

### Can I clear F1 myself?

Take the pan off the zone and let the glass and electronics cool. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### My Bosch showed F1 after a pot boiled dry. Is the stove damaged?

Usually not, since the zone cut out before any harm was done. Let it cool and try again.

### Why does F6 show on my Bosch when I sear on high?

A thin or warped pan can concentrate heat. A heavier, flat pan often stops it.

### Can I keep using other zones on my Bosch after F1?

Yes, F1 turns off the overheated zone only.
