VERIFIED
Bosch oven E124 is associated with cavity 1 door-switch fault. Review symptoms, model details, and safe external checks before deciding on the next step.
A Bosch oven showing E124 has detected a condition tied to cavity 1 door-switch fault. The code helps identify the system involved; it does not by itself prove which component has failed.
Treat the warning as evidence, not a complete repair instruction. Keep the troubleshooting boundary outside protected systems and do not bypass safety devices to clear a code.
At a glance
- Code: E124
- Appliance: Bosch Oven

- Service-area context: San Francisco; confirm coverage by ZIP code
Technical meaning of the code
The verified technical anchor for E124 is cavity 1 door-switch fault. Preserve that meaning in the factual layer. The warning points the diagnostic path toward the door, latch, or locking circuit, while the exact model and symptom pattern determine how that information should be applied.
What you may notice
Before changing settings or cycling power, note the behavior you can see or hear:
- The appliance may refuse to start.
- A cycle can stop unexpectedly.
- The door might remain locked or fail to lock.
- The control may not recognize the expected door position.
Systems and conditions to consider
The source record supports considering the following possibilities without treating any single one as confirmed:
- The door not reaching its expected position.
- A damaged latch, hook, or lock mechanism.
- A door sensor or switch fault.
- Wiring or electronic control failure in the interlock path.
Checks to make before service
- Confirm clothing, cookware, or another object is not preventing normal closure.
- Look over the visible latch area for obvious debris or physical damage.
- Avoid force a locked door and do not bypass the interlock.
These checks are intended to gather useful information without exposing live wiring, bypassing an interlock, defeating a leak-protection device, opening a sealed system, or using undocumented service modes.
Leave the appliance off if
Do not continue operating an appliance with a door that cannot latch securely or with a defeated safety interlock.
If the warning returns
A returning door code with normal external alignment requires testing of the lock/switch, wiring, and model-specific control path. A displayed code is evidence, not a parts order. The next step is to confirm the reported system against the model and the symptoms present during operation.
For a service request, include what the appliance was doing immediately before the warning and which external checks were already completed.
Why the full Bosch model/E-Nr matters
The complete rating-label model matters. A code meaning documented on one Bosch oven platform should not be assumed to apply to every generation without verification.
FAQ
For this record, E124 is associated with cavity 1 door-switch fault. The exact model/E-Nr still matters because Bosch can use different hardware and diagnostic logic across product families.
Only if no safety stop condition is present and the appliance is otherwise operating safely. If the code repeats, performance is abnormal, or there is leaking, smoke, electrical odor, sparking, overheating, or repeated breaker trips, leave the appliance off.
Use only a normal reset that Bosch documents for the exact model. If the warning returns, repeated resets are not a substitute for diagnosis.
No. The code identifies a detected system condition. Model information, symptoms, and model-specific testing are still needed before a component is selected.
Have the full Bosch model/E-Nr, the exact E124 display, the cycle stage or operating state where it appears, the visible symptoms, and the external checks already completed.
