Bosch Oven Error Code E107

E107 means the Cavity 1 door latch failed to unlock within the allowed time, approximately one minute. The oven stops further unlock attempts once this timeout is reached. The cause can be an oven interior that is still too hot, a failed latch motor, a faulty latch switch, or a mechanical obstruction in the latch assembly.

No, you should not attempt to force the door open or operate the oven while E107 is active. The door is mechanically locked and forcing it can damage the latch assembly or the door itself. Power the oven off, allow it to cool completely, and then assess whether the fault clears before any further use.

Repair costs depend on the failed component and whether you hire a technician. A latch switch or door switch part typically falls in the range of 20 to 60 dollars, while a latch motor assembly can range from 50 to 150 dollars or more. Adding professional labor, total repair costs commonly range from 100 to 300 dollars depending on your location and the parts required.

Some cases of E107 resolve on their own after the oven cools completely, which requires no repair at all. If the latch is mechanically binding, a technician or experienced DIYer can inspect and clear the obstruction. Replacing the latch motor or latch switch involves disconnecting power and accessing the latch assembly, which is manageable for someone comfortable with appliance repair but should be approached carefully to avoid injury.

A power reset by turning off the oven at the breaker for several minutes may clear the fault if the root cause was a temporary temperature condition. However, if the latch motor, latch switch, or door switch has failed, or if there is a mechanical binding issue, the error will return when the oven attempts to lock or unlock again. The underlying cause must be corrected for a lasting repair.
