Bosch Oven Error Code E0119: How to Fix It

Q: Can I still use my Bosch oven with error code E0119?

No, you should not use the oven when E0119 is displayed. This error indicates the temperature sensor isn't working properly, meaning the oven cannot accurately control or monitor temperature, which could result in undercooked or overcooked food, or potential safety hazards.

Q: How much does a Bosch oven temperature sensor cost?

A replacement temperature sensor for a Bosch oven typically costs between $25-$60, depending on your specific model. OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts may cost slightly more than aftermarket alternatives but offer better compatibility and reliability.

Q: What causes a Bosch oven temperature sensor to fail?

Temperature sensors can fail due to normal wear and tear from repeated heating and cooling cycles, exposure to high temperatures over time, moisture damage, or physical damage from cleaning or moving oven racks. Age is the most common factor, with sensors typically lasting 8-12 years.

Q: How do I know if the problem is the sensor or the control board?

Test the temperature sensor with a multimeter first. If it shows proper resistance (around 1,080 ohms at room temperature) and the wiring is intact, the issue may be with the control board. However, sensor failure is much more common and less expensive to fix than control board replacement.

Q: Can I reset the E0119 error code on my Bosch oven?

You can try resetting the error by turning off the circuit breaker for 5 minutes, but E0119 will return if the underlying temperature sensor problem isn't fixed. This error requires actual repair rather than just a reset to permanently resolve.

Abstract

Bosch oven error code E0119 indicates a problem with the temperature sensor, which is either open (disconnected) or short-circuited. This prevents your oven from accurately reading and maintaining the correct temperature. The error typically requires checking connections and potentially replacing the faulty temperature sensor.
