What E115 means

The oven climbs hotter than it should with the door unlatched; the range cuts heat and shuts the door lock on its own, and E115 appears. Once the temperature drops back inside limits, heating returns and the latch lets go. Bosch's checks point at the element or burner, the sensor's resistance and stuck relays, any of which can make a cavity heat when nobody asked it to.

Common causes of E115

  • Relay on the control stuck closed
  • Cavity sensor misreporting a low temperature, so heat is demanded nonstop
  • Burner or element control making heat unchecked
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Turn the range's breaker off, not merely the oven knob. 2. On gas or dual fuel, also close the appliance gas valve. 3. Keep clear of the door until it cools. 4. Do not use the oven again until we check; a welded relay keeps current flowing whatever the display claims.

! Why to stop there
  • Heat with no command is a fire and burn hazard, so testing with power on is a bad bet.
  • A welded relay cannot be diagnosed by looking at the display, which may show the oven as off.
  • Changing only the sensor leaves a stuck relay in place.
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.

E115E115 questions
Why did my oven lock during a normal bake?

The lock is the range's protective reaction to a cavity hotter than allowed. It is the same latch that serves self-clean, borrowed here for safety instead of cleaning.

How seriously should I take this?

Seriously enough to stop using the oven. Heating beyond commands is just what this safeguard exists to catch, so wait for a proper check. Please do not run it just to see what happens.

Will it unlock when it cools?

Yes, once the cavity temperature returns to range. That says nothing about why it overheated, so consider the oven out of service until we have looked.
