My bosch HBL8650UC shows an error code e218 then it shuts off

https://www.bosch-home.com/us/service/get-support/owner-manuals

The E218 error indicates a problem with the lower cooling fan. The fan could be moving too slowly or too fast. There may be something blocking the fan or a damaged wire providing the wrong feedback to the control board.

You can try resetting the error by disconnecting the power for 5 minutes or so. Turning off the power with the appropriate circuit breaker is the easiest option. Then check what happens when you start the oven again. If the problem recurs, then you need to check the wiring and for anything interfering with the fan circulation. The Hall Effect sensor should also be checked. Most often the fan needs to be replaced.

Please add a comment with the model number of the appliance for specifics for your oven.

I hope this helps.

Reversed high and low speed wires

the key sign shows that the child lock is engaged. to unlock, usually you push and hold the lock button for a few seconds. the correct button is usually a dual function and so marked. if you need more help, go to manualsonline.com and look up your model number for your manual. good luck

E118 indicates a comma error. You could check for loose connector block or plug on ribbon cable. Best course of action is to call a Service Engineer.

that code is detecting a failure with the cooling fan

Hi,

Can you provide a model number for your oven. Is it a single oven or double ? Wall oven or free standing range ?(conventional with cooking surface)

Unfortunately the error codes for Bosch are different depending on the model of the unit.

Thank you, I`ll look for your reply.
