F1
Bosch F1 on an induction hob: zone off to protect worktop
Risk level
Medium
Proceed carefully and stop if the check is unclear.
Urgency
Medium
Quick answer
On Bosch induction cooktops, error codes F1 or F6 mean the cooking zone has overheated and switched off automatically to protect the work surface. Remove the hot pan, wait until the electronics have cooled down sufficiently, and then switch the cooking zone back on to continue cooking.
Safety first
Stop and check this first
- Bosch warns never to place empty cookware on a cooking zone or let pans heat empty, and notes that when an error occurs the cooktop will not switch to standby mode; never open the appliance casing yourself.
Safe checks you can perform
- Move the hot pan away and let the electronics cool down
- Read the held E code if needed and switch the zone back on
- Power-cycle the cooktop for 30 seconds to 1 minute
Leave these tasks to a qualified professional
- Do not attempt this professional task: Heating and standby test after repair
- Do not attempt this professional task: Zone temperature sensor and induction module check by Bosch support
What a technician must be able to justify
Technician visit
These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.
These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.
Heating and standby test after repair
What they doAfter servicing the zone, the technician heats a pan of water on the repaired cooking zone and verifies that it regulates temperature and returns to normal standby when switched off.
They must show youthe cooking zone heating water without F1 or F6 and returning to standby afterwards.
In writingthe zone tested, the power setting used and confirmation that F1 or F6 did not return.
Zone temperature sensor and induction module check by Bosch support
What they doIf F1 or F6 reappears on a cold cooktop after a 30-second power reset, a Bosch service technician checks the cooking-zone temperature sensor, under-counter ventilation and the induction power module.
They must show youthe temperature sensor reading on the affected zone and the cooling clearance beneath the cooktop.
In writingthe F1 or F6 code reported, the appliance E-Nr and FD numbers, the test results and any part replaced.
Before accepting a part or repair
Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.
Follow these steps
Note: Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.
Move the hot pan away and let the electronics cool down
- Who:
- you, taking care not to touch the hot cooking zone.
- How:
- lift the hot cookware off the cooking zone showing F1 or F6, make sure no pan was being heated empty, and wait until the electronics have cooled down sufficiently as instructed by Bosch.
- Result that matters:
- the cooking zone and worktop cool back down to a safe operating temperature.
- If the F1 or F6 code clears once the electronics cool, switch the cooking zone back on and continue cooking.
- If only an E is shown or the code stays lit after cooling down, move to the second check.
- Evidence to keep:
- a photo of the F1 or F6 code displayed on the cooking zone indicator.

Read the held E code if needed and switch the zone back on
- Who:
- you, once the cooktop has cooled sufficiently.
- How:
- if the display shows only E, touch and hold the sensor key for the cooking zone in question to read the full fault code; once the electronics have cooled down sufficiently after F1 or F6, switch the cooking zone back on with a pan containing food or liquid.
- Result that matters:
- the cooking zone accepts a power setting and heats again without showing F1 or F6.
- If the zone heats normally when switched back on, the work-surface overheat protection worked as intended.
- If F1 or F6 remains on the display when the glass is cold, perform the 30-second breaker reset below.
- Evidence to keep:
- a note of which cooking zone displayed F1 or F6 and how long it cooled.

Power-cycle the cooktop for 30 seconds to 1 minute
- Who:
- you, at the circuit breaker in the fuse box.
- How:
- turn the cooktop off completely, disconnect it from the power supply by switching off its circuit breaker for 30 seconds to 1 minute, restore power and turn the cooktop back on to check whether the error code reappears.
- Result that matters:
- the cooktop electronics reset cleanly after the power cycle.
- If the display stays clear when switched back on, the overheat state has reset.
- If F1 or F6 appears again on a cold cooktop, note the exact error code and the E-Nr model number and contact Bosch Customer Support.
- Evidence to keep:
- a photo of the E-Nr number on the glass surface or rating plate.

What it means
Bosch's official induction cooktop error code guide and the PIE631 / PXY / PVS / PXV user manual (document 9001769168) pair error codes F1 and F6 together: the cooking zone has overheated and switched itself off to protect the work surface (worktop). The manual also warns never to heat empty cookware on a zone. To resolve the message, wait until the electronics have cooled down sufficiently and then switch the cooking zone back on. Seeing F1 or F6 on its own never proves that any internal component has failed.
Warnings and stop conditions
- Mediumeditorial warning
Bosch warns never to place empty cookware on a cooking zone or let pans heat empty, and notes that when an error occurs the cooktop will not switch to standby mode; never open the appliance casing yourself.

Symptoms and causes
Probable causes · in order
- Cooking zone overheated by empty or high-heat cookwareCommon
Heating an empty pot or running intense heat raises the zone temperature until Bosch switches the zone off with F1 or F6 to protect the work surface.
Evidence: Bosch Induction Cooktop Error Codes · Bosch Manual de usuario placa de inducción PXY/PIE/PVS/PXV (9001769168)
- Heat built up in the zone electronicsCommon
Once F1 or F6 trips, the zone remains off until the electronic system beneath the ceramic glass has cooled down sufficiently.
Evidence: Bosch Induction Cooktop Error Codes · Bosch Manual de usuario placa de inducción PXY/PIE/PVS/PXV (9001769168)
- Persistent sensor or electronics fault when coldLess common
If F1 or F6 reappears on a cold cooktop even after disconnecting power at the breaker for 30 seconds to 1 minute, Bosch Customer Support must inspect the unit.
