Ranges with a knob that turns a rotary encoder can throw E050 when that encoder shorts to its power supply and the short lasts longer than ten seconds. The control concludes the signal cannot possibly be genuine and flags it. Oven settings may leap to an extreme or refuse to stay put. In Bosch's table the remedy for this entry is a new rotary encoder switch.
1. Slowly rotate the knob across its whole travel while watching the display. 2. A value that snaps to one end and stays there matches a shorted encoder. 3. Resist spraying cleaner down the shaft or pulling the knob off. 4. Describe what you saw when you book; it saves time on site.
If the control takes a temperature and holds it, brief supervised use may work. Anything that changes by itself should never run an oven you are not watching.
No. Those turn mechanical valves. This code concerns only the electronic encoder behind the oven settings, so burners that light normally tell us nothing about it.
It is one named part, which Bosch gives as the remedy. We confirm the encoder is the cause first, then give a written price before touching anything.
A technician diagnoses it on site and gives you the price in writing before any work starts.
