Bosch Range E107: When the Oven Door Stays Locked

What E107 means

After a cleaning cycle the door will not budge and E107 sits on the screen. Bosch lists two reasons: the oven is still too hot for the lock to release, or the latch is not working as it should. The range retries for a minute and then stops; the message clears after the latch has been seen open for over ten seconds.

Common causes of E107

Oven still hotter than the release temperature
Latch motor or position switch that has died
Latch that has begun to bind after a cleaning cycle

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Do not touch or tug the door while the oven is warm; a clean cycle leaves the cavity far hotter than baking. 2. Wait until it is completely cold. 3. Then turn the breaker off for several minutes and back on. 4. Try the handle gently. Never lever or pry it.

! Why to stop there

A forced door can snap the latch or warp the hinge, leaving a gap that leaks heat.
Outside surfaces can feel fine while the cavity is still hot enough to burn.
From the front, a dead motor, a bad switch and a sticky mechanism look identical, so guessing buys the wrong part.

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

E107E107 questions

How long until I can try the door?

Until the oven is cold to the touch, often well over an hour after a clean. Rushing does not help because the lock will not release while the cavity is hot.

It opened after cooling. Should I worry?

One release after cooling is how Bosch's logic is meant to work. If lockouts repeat, the latch motor or switch is probably wearing out and should be checked.

Can I cook on top meanwhile?

With a gas range, top burners do not depend on the door latch, so cooking up top is generally still available while the oven stays shut.
