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 E122

### What this one means

The probe is reporting a temperature above the range it is allowed to report. 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 same condition is published under more than one label, because it has been carried across generations of this appliance:

- **Three LEDs on the panel blinking out the digits 1, 2 and 2** — 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:

- The probe
- The probe socket and the module behind it
- A probe left in the cavity during a clean cycle

### What to try yourself

- Remove the probe from the oven before self-cleaning — it is not made for those temperatures
- Try a second probe if you have one

### Then what

Probe codes are worth clearing before anything else is investigated, because a damaged probe reads wrongly in the middle of a bake and looks exactly like an oven that cannot hold temperature.

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.
