Bosch Oven E005 — Power Supply / Line Voltage Fault

Bosch Oven · Error code E005

What E005 Means

The control has detected incoming voltage outside the expected 208–240 V range, missing a leg of 240 V, or wiring miswired. The oven disables heat to protect elements and the control.

Symptoms

  • Display works but oven won't heat
  • Lights and clock function but cooking fails
  • E005 immediately at power-up
  • Breaker trips during preheat

Common Causes

1
Missing 240 V leg at the supply

Loose lug at the breaker or oven junction box delivers only 120 V.

2
Wrong wiring at install

Hot-to-hot vs hot-to-neutral swap on a 3-wire vs 4-wire conversion.

3
Failed breaker

One pole of the double-pole breaker is dead.

4
Brownout or low line voltage

Utility delivering below 200 V.

5
Damaged power inlet on the oven

Burned terminal block at the rear of the oven.

How to Fix It

  1. Power off at the breaker.
  2. Measure both legs to neutral and across hot-to-hot at the oven junction box — expect 240 V (208 V on some commercial supplies).
  3. Inspect the breaker and reseat it; replace if one pole reads dead.
  4. Confirm the oven is wired per the install diagram on the chassis — 3-wire vs 4-wire matters.
  5. Tighten all lugs at the junction box; check for burned insulation.
  6. If supply is correct and code persists, replace the power inlet/terminal block; last resort, replace the main control.
