VERIFIED
Bosch range E101 is associated with cavity 1 temperature sensor open circuit. Review symptoms, model details, and safe external checks before deciding on the next step.
When a Bosch range displays E101, the control has registered cavity 1 temperature sensor open circuit. That narrows attention toward the heating and temperature-control system, but the model/E-Nr and visible symptoms are still necessary before the warning is treated as a parts diagnosis.
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.

What the warning means
The verified technical anchor for E101 is cavity 1 temperature sensor open circuit. Preserve that meaning in the factual layer. The warning points the diagnostic path toward the heating and temperature-control system, while the exact model and symptom pattern determine how that information should be applied.
Symptoms worth recording
Before changing settings or cycling power, note the behavior you can see or hear:
- The control may receive an impossible or missing reading.
- Temperature or cycle behavior may become inconsistent.
- The appliance can stop a program as a protective response.
- The same code can return immediately after startup.
Possible causes from the source record
The source record supports considering the following possibilities without treating any single one as confirmed:
- A failed sensor or probe.
- Damaged sensor wiring.
- A loose or corroded connector.
- An electronic input fault on the control board.
First steps that stay outside the appliance
- Write down the full code and model number.
- Verify only external conditions that can affect the reading, such as a properly closed door or unobstructed user-accessible area.
- Avoid probe internal sensor circuits while the appliance is energized.
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.
When to stop using the appliance
Stop for overheating, electrical damage, gas odor, or water near electrical parts; otherwise avoid repeated operation if the sensor is required for safe temperature control.
When diagnosis becomes the next step
The sensor, wiring, connector path, and control input must be tested against the documentation for the exact model before a part is selected. The useful service history includes when the code appears, whether it is repeatable, and what changed immediately before it.
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 range platform should not be assumed to apply to every generation without verification.
FAQ
For this record, E101 is associated with cavity 1 temperature sensor open circuit. 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 E101 display, the cycle stage or operating state where it appears, the visible symptoms, and the external checks already completed.
Bosch service in the San Francisco area
Still seeing E101 on your Bosch range?
If E101 remains active or comes back, request Bosch range diagnosis for the San Francisco service area. Include the complete model/E-Nr, exact code, symptom summary, and ZIP code so service coverage can be confirmed.

Model compatibility: Bosch reuses codes across series and model years, so E101 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
