E005 — Power Supply / Line Voltage Fault
Bosch's official US oven/microwave error-code page documents only E11 (touch keys/condensation) plus generic 'E and a number' catch-alls that instruct disconnecting power and calling Bosch support. A specific 'E005' is not separately documented. The 'power supply / line voltage fault' explanation below is not confirmed on Bosch's US consumer page — verify against your model's manual.

How to fix it
- Power off at the breaker.
- Measure both legs to neutral and across hot-to-hot at the oven junction box — expect 240 V (208 V on some commercial supplies).
- Inspect the breaker and reseat it; replace if one pole reads dead.
- Confirm the oven is wired per the install diagram on the chassis — 3-wire vs 4-wire matters.
- Tighten all lugs at the junction box; check for burned insulation.
- If supply is correct and code persists, replace the power inlet/terminal block; last resort, replace the main control.
Why it happens
Typical signs: Display works but oven won't heat · Lights and clock function but cooking fails · E005 immediately at power-up · Breaker trips during preheat
- Missing 240 V leg at the supply Loose lug at the breaker or oven junction box delivers only 120 V.
- Wrong wiring at install Hot-to-hot vs hot-to-neutral swap on a 3-wire vs 4-wire conversion.
- Failed breaker One pole of the double-pole breaker is dead.
- Brownout or low line voltage Utility delivering below 200 V.
- Damaged power inlet on the oven Burned terminal block at the rear of the oven.
