Questions
about E11.

Can I clear E11 myself?
Wipe the control panel with a dry cloth. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
Why does my Bosch speed oven show E-11 right after cooking?
Moisture from cooking can settle on the keypad, and Bosch lists condensation as the likely cause of E11. Let the panel dry, wipe it, then cut the power for about 10 seconds.
What if E11 on my Bosch comes back every day?
A panel that stays dry but keeps showing E11 points past condensation to the keypad itself. Book a visit and describe when it appears.
