What is particular
to Bosch.

Bosch's US cooktops include 24-, 30- and 36-inch gas models (Benchmark cooktops use FlameSelect), frameless electric and induction cooktops in the 500, 800 and Benchmark series, and the RGM8658UC gas rangetop. The code list differs between electric, induction and gas models.

Gas burners need a held knob

Bosch gas rangetops use a thermocouple on each burner: you press the knob in for a few seconds after lighting until the flame heats it. A burner that goes out when released is the classic sign of a thermocouple that is not sensing heat.

A wet igniter can spark on

Bosch warns that a wet or dirty igniter may spark without lighting the burner or keep sparking with a flame present. Cleaning and drying the igniter comes before replacing the spark module.

The drawer below needs room

Bosch induction cooktops cool through a fan on the underside, and Bosch asks for at least ¾ inch between drawer contents and the fan inlet. Overheating codes such as F2 and F4 often trace back to a packed drawer.

A dedicated simmer burner

The rear-right burner on the rangetop is built for OptiSim, a very low simmer for sauces. A burner that seems weak there may simply be the simmer burner doing its job.

Parts

Induction generators, touch controls and gas valves are specific to the model. Burner caps and grates are simpler to match.

Repair or replace

Igniters, thermocouples, fans and single zones are ordinary repairs on a Bosch cooktop. When a frameless glass top cracks on an older model, the cost of the glass assembly is what makes replacement worth comparing.

Questions about
Bosch cooktops.

Why does my Bosch gas burner go out when I let go of the knob?
The thermocouple needs a few seconds of flame to keep the gas valve open. Hold the knob in a little longer; if it still goes out, book a visit.
Why do all my Bosch burners spark when I light one?
Bosch builds its gas cooktops and rangetops so that every igniter sparks when any knob is pushed. That is normal.
My Bosch cooktop shows F2 on busy cooking days. What should I check?
Look at the drawer or cabinet below. Bosch asks for at least ¾ inch between stored items and the fan inlet.
Can Bosch igniters spark after a power outage?
Bosch says they may spark once or twice when power is restored, even with every knob off.
