Bosch PGL985UC 36 in. Gas Cooktop - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
I have bosch pgl985uc burner problem. The center burner will not stay lit. Seems other have had this problem. I ordered all new thermo-couplers. Installed, since Bosch changed them to a new part nu
If The Burner lights and stays lit as long as the knob is depressed, but goes out after the knob is released then there is a failure with the thermocoupler or the valve itself. The thermocoupler can be tested once removed from the cooktop - as follows
Heat the tip on the thermocoupler with a match or lighter and measure the electrical connection (other end) with a voltmeter - it should read about 15 mV or slightly more with in a few seconds. If no voltage is read then the thermocoupler is faulty and should be replaced.
The valve coil can also be tested for continuity at while the unit is disassembled. If no continuity is found the valve is faulty and should be replaced
The small voltage created from heating the thermocoupler energizes the coil in the valve which in turn keeps the gas turned on while there is heat at the thermocoupler.
Some units actually reignite the burner if the heat is lost and the control knob is in the on position.
Hope this helps ....

I have the same problem especially with the center burner, but now am having increasing difficulty with two other burners. Those will eventually stay lit if I depress the knob for 20 - 30 seconds. The center burner will not stay lit, even when keeping the knob depressed for 2 - 3 minutes!

Hi,
You can find parts for your unit by doing a search for “appliance parts”.
Once you get the results of the search, pick a site and when it comes up it will usually ask for the model number of your unit.
Enter your model number and you will then get a page with exploded views and a parts menu.
Find the part you need and then order it.
Check a few different sites to be sure that you are getting the best pricing.
Most sites can have the part to you in a couple of days.

Bosch oven display does not work at all but the cooktop works. what is the problem?
There could be a few different reasons why the display on your Bosch oven is not working, but the cooktop is functioning properly. Some possible causes include:
- A problem with the control panel: The control panel is responsible for controlling the oven and displaying information on the screen. If there is a problem with the control panel, it may be preventing the display from functioning properly.
- An issue with the oven's electrical system: If there is a problem with the oven's electrical system, it could be causing the display to malfunction. This could be due to a problem with the wiring, a faulty component, or a power issue.
- A problem with the display itself: It is also possible that there is a problem with the display itself, such as a damaged screen or a malfunctioning component.
In order to determine the cause of the problem and fix it, you will likely need to have the oven inspected by a professional appliance repair technician. They will be able to diagnose the issue and recommend the appropriate course of action.
