Bosch Range Error Code E107

E107 on a Bosch range means the door latch did not unlock within the expected time, typically one minute after the unlock command was issued. This can occur because the cavity temperature is still too high, or because the latch motor, latch switch, or door switch is not functioning correctly. The oven locks the door as a safety measure during and after high-temperature operation such as self-cleaning, and E107 signals that the system could not complete the unlocking process as expected.

You should not attempt to use the oven while E107 is active and the door is stuck locked. Forcing the door open can damage the latch mechanism further or create a safety hazard. If the door has unlocked but the code remains, avoid running high-temperature cycles such as self-clean until the underlying fault has been diagnosed and repaired.

Repair costs vary depending on which component has failed. A latch motor or latch switch replacement typically involves parts costs in the range of $30 to $100, plus labor if a technician is performing the repair. A service call from a qualified appliance technician generally runs between $80 and $150 for diagnosis, with total repair costs commonly falling between $150 and $300 depending on parts and regional labor rates.

Some causes of E107, such as mechanical binding from grease or debris in the latch assembly, can be addressed without professional help by carefully cleaning and inspecting the latch mechanism. However, replacing the latch motor, latch switch, or door switch requires disassembly of the oven door or control area and a basic understanding of appliance wiring. If you are not comfortable working with appliance components or verifying continuity with a multimeter, a qualified technician is the safer option.

A power reset by turning off the circuit breaker for a few minutes may temporarily clear the error code, and in some cases it may allow the latch motor to attempt the unlock sequence again. However, if the underlying cause is a failed motor, faulty switch, or mechanical binding, the code will return. A reset alone does not resolve a hardware fault and should be followed by a proper diagnosis.
