What it looks like from the kitchen

## The symptom this code usually arrives with

A code names the subsystem; the symptom is what sent you to look at the display in the first place. That page says what it usually turns out to be, cheapest cause first.

- Oven runs hot or cold
					Baking that has gone wrong at the same setting you have always used. A thermometer in the middle of the oven settles in twenty minutes what an argument about it never will.

														Everything browning too fast, or not at all

														A consistent offset at every setting

														A code in the E1 or E2 hundreds

## About Thermador oven error code E115

### What this one means

The cavity is hotter than it should ever be with the door unlocked — E115 for the upper cavity, E215 for the lower one. It is a code the manufacturer publishes for this appliance, not one we have worked out — and it is decoded here rather than left as three characters on a display.

### The other ways your machine may say it

The two labels are the two cavities of a double or triple oven, not two ages of machine — E1xx is the upper cavity and E2xx the lower, and the number tells you which one to look at:

- **E115, E215**
- **Three LEDs on the panel blinking out the digits 1, 1 and 5** — how a model with no digital display says it. On that machine, the lights are the code

### What the code covers

A published cause names a circuit rather than a component, which is the single most useful thing to know before ordering a part. This one covers:

- A relay stuck closed, leaving an element powered
- The cavity temperature sensor reading low
- The control module

### Worth doing before you call

- Switch the oven off at the breaker if it is still heating with nothing selected, and leave it off

### Then what

Treat this one as urgent rather than annoying: it is the oven itself saying it is hotter than the safety design allows. The manual’s own example of a code on the display is this one, which is a fair indication of how often it turns up.

This code is published for wall ovens & steam ovens. The [full list of codes](https://thermadormiami.support/error-codes/) has the rest of them, searchable, including the labels older and newer machines use for the same conditions.
