What F155 means on a Bosch range

The F155 error code on a Bosch range indicates that the cook profile stored in the EPROM (Electrically Programmable Read-Only Memory) has become corrupted. The EPROM is a non-volatile memory chip on the control board that stores critical operational data, including cook cycle profiles, self-clean sequences, and user-programmed settings. The fault is detected specifically when a cook or clean cycle is programmed, and the control board identifies the corruption within a 1-second fault detection window. At that point, the board recognizes that the stored profile data does not match expected parameters and triggers the F155 code to prevent the range from operating on faulty instructions.

EPROM corruption can occur for several reasons. Power surges or momentary voltage fluctuations can write bad data to the chip. In some cases, the EPROM chip itself degrades over time, particularly if the control board has been exposed to heat stress or moisture. A failed or failing electronic control board is the most common hardware-level cause, since the EPROM is typically integrated into or soldered onto the main control board assembly rather than being a separately serviceable component.

Because the fault is tied directly to memory integrity rather than a sensor or wiring issue, standard continuity or resistance checks on external components will not resolve the underlying problem. The fault triggers at the moment a cook or clean cycle is initiated, making the range non-functional for those operations. Resolving F155 almost always requires replacing the electronic control board, as re-flashing or rewriting the EPROM is not a field-serviceable procedure on these units.

Common causes of F155

  1. 01

    Failed or degraded electronic control board

    Part replacement

    The EPROM memory is part of the control board, and chip degradation or internal board failure is the most frequent root cause of corrupted cook profiles. Replacing the control board is typically the definitive fix.

  2. 02

    Power surge or voltage spike

    Part replacement

    A sudden surge in household voltage can write corrupted data to the EPROM during or after a power event. If the error appeared after a storm or power outage, a surge is a likely contributor.

  3. 03

    Intermittent power supply to the control board

    Wiring / connection

    Unstable voltage reaching the control board from the terminal block or internal wiring can cause memory write errors over time. Inspect the power supply connections and wiring harness to the board for loose or burnt terminals.

  4. 04

    Heat or moisture damage to the control board

    Part replacement

    Prolonged exposure to high heat or moisture near the control board can degrade the EPROM and surrounding circuitry. Inspect the board visually for burn marks, corrosion, or discoloration.

Frequently asked questions about F155

What does F155 mean on a Bosch range?
F155 indicates that the cook profile stored in the range's EPROM memory chip has become corrupted. The control board detects this corruption within 1 second of a cook or clean cycle being programmed and triggers the fault code to stop the cycle. This is a control board memory issue, not a problem with the oven's heating elements or sensors. Resolving it typically requires replacing the electronic control board.
Can I fix the F155 error myself on a Bosch range?
Because the fault is rooted in corrupted EPROM memory on the control board, there is no field-level repair for the chip itself. A knowledgeable DIYer can replace the electronic control board if they are comfortable working with appliance electronics and disconnecting power safely. However, diagnosing whether a power supply issue contributed to the corruption should be done first to avoid damaging a new board.
Will resetting the Bosch range clear the F155 error?
A power reset, such as unplugging the range or tripping the circuit breaker for several minutes, may temporarily clear the code. However, because the underlying cause is corrupted data in the EPROM, the F155 error will almost certainly return as soon as a cook or clean cycle is initiated. A reset alone does not repair the memory or the control board.
Is it safe to use my Bosch range while F155 is displayed?
The F155 fault specifically prevents cook and clean cycles from operating correctly, so those functions should not be relied upon while the code is active. Using the range in this condition risks incomplete or uncontrolled operation of heating elements. It is best to resolve the fault before using oven or self-clean functions.
How much does it cost to repair a Bosch range F155 error?
The primary repair is typically an electronic control board replacement. Parts costs for Bosch range control boards generally range from around $150 to $400 depending on the specific model. If a technician performs the repair, labor costs typically add $100 to $200 to the total, though rates vary by region and service provider.
