VERIFIED
Bosch range F131 is linked with temperature probe not calibrated. Review the visible symptoms, model details, and safe external checks before deciding on the next step.
If F131 appears on a Bosch range, the verified technical anchor is temperature probe not calibrated. Product generations can differ internally, so the observed behavior and model/E-Nr matter before the code is interpreted too narrowly.
The guidance below stays at the owner-safe level. It focuses on documenting the warning and checking accessible items without opening protected systems.
At a glance
- Code: F131
- Appliance: Bosch Range
- Verified meaning: temperature probe not calibrated
- Primary diagnostic direction: the heating and temperature-control system
- Service-area context: San Francisco; confirm coverage by ZIP code
What the control is reporting
The verified technical anchor for F131 is temperature probe not calibrated. Preserve that meaning in the factual layer. The warning narrows the diagnostic path toward the heating and temperature-control system, while the exact model and symptom sequence determine how that information should be applied.
What can happen while the code is active
Before changing settings or cycling power, record 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 may stop a program as a protective response.
- The same code can return immediately after startup.
What may be causing it
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.
What you can verify externally
- 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 for information gathering only. Do not expose live wiring, bypass an interlock, defeat leak protection, open a sealed refrigeration circuit, or use undocumented service-mode procedures.
When continued operation is not appropriate
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 external checks are no longer enough
The sensor, wiring, connector path, and control input must be tested against the documentation for the exact model before a part is selected. Do not choose the most expensive module from the code alone. The technician should verify the relevant circuit or mechanism before recommending a repair.
For a service request, include what the appliance was doing immediately before the warning and which safe checks were already completed.
Why the full Bosch model/E-Nr matters
Record the complete model/E-Nr with F131. That identifier helps separate platforms that may use different controls, sensors, or service logic.
FAQ
For this record, F131 is associated with temperature probe not calibrated. 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 warning 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 F131 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
Need model-specific diagnosis for F131?
If F131 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 F131 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
