Control Button Pressed Too Long or Stuck

What it means

This code appears on Bosch built-in ovens with electronic controls when the control panel detects that a button or touch area has been pressed for longer than normal, so it stops responding as a precaution. The cause can be something simple like a cloth or moisture on the panel, or a fault in the touch panel itself. Oven codes differ between series, so confirm the meaning in your oven manual; the same number can mean something else on other brands.
