Gaggenau Oven Error Codes Explained 2026 by LE Company
When you see your Gaggenau oven flashing an error code, it can indicate temperature issues, communication errors, door and lock malfunctions, or just simple button or power faults, depending on the code.
Depending on the model, error codes may differ. In this post, we will explain the most frequent Gaggenau oven error codes. Some of these codes point to user-serviceable issues that are part of regular care, while others indicate a hardware failure that requires a professional Gaggenau oven repair.

Temperature issues
Error codes indicating the need for maintenance
For the following codes, simply wait for the cycle to end and let the appliance cool down:
Note, the error E115 is about the internal component temperature, not just the oven cavity air temperature. At LE Company, we recommend always checking ambient conditions when E115 appears. To clarify, a poorly ventilated kitchen can cause your Gaggenau oven components to overheat even at a cooking temperature that is lower than usual.
- ER15 – Oven temperature exceeded 380°C (normal during pyrolysis)
- E115 – Oven temperature is too high (normal during running the oven at a very high temperature for a long period)
Note, the error E115 is about the internal component temperature, not just the oven cavity air temperature. At LE Company, we recommend always checking ambient conditions when E115 appears. To clarify, a poorly ventilated kitchen can cause your Gaggenau oven components to overheat even at a cooking temperature that is lower than usual.
Error codes indicating the need for professional repair
The following codes indicate issues with the temperature sensor or cooling fan and, typically, the need for the component replacement:
If E115 returns after cooling or ER15 appears outside pyrolysis, call a professional Gaggenau repair engineer as well. If you need emergency Gaggenau oven repair in London, you can count on us.
- ER3, E318 –– Cooling fan failure
- E101, E104 – Temperature sensor overload
- ER1, ER4 – Faulty temperature sensor or tripped high-temperature safety circuit
If E115 returns after cooling or ER15 appears outside pyrolysis, call a professional Gaggenau repair engineer as well. If you need emergency Gaggenau oven repair in London, you can count on us.
Communication Errors
The following codes indicate issues with the main control board, control module, or internal power board:
Try a hard reset (unplug for 5–10 minutes) to resolve a temporary glitch. If the code returns after a hard reset, you need professional help.
- ER9 – Power failure
- ER2 – Unstable mains supply
- E005, E305 – Data exchange failure between electronic boards
- ER0, E010D – Lost communication between electronic modules
Try a hard reset (unplug for 5–10 minutes) to resolve a temporary glitch. If the code returns after a hard reset, you need professional help.
Door and button issues
Error codes indicating the need for maintenance
The following error codes typically indicate minor door issues or negligence:
To restore ER7, check that the oven door is fully closed and nothing obstructs the seal. To restore ER11, E05-32, or E011, clean the control panel and release the button, if stuck.
- ER7 – Door sensor cannot confirm the door is closed
- ER11, E05-32, E011 – The control button held down too long or physically stuck
To restore ER7, check that the oven door is fully closed and nothing obstructs the seal. To restore ER11, E05-32, or E011, clean the control panel and release the button, if stuck.
Error codes indicating the need for professional repair
The following error codes indicate more serious door issues, and if a hard reset does not help, you need professional diagnostic and repair:
As for E106, F40, E702, and, the door lock is a critical safety feature. If it fails, the oven may not lock properly. This creates a serious risk of burns or fire. Moreover, while it may sound like E106 only affects the self-cleaning cycle, the problem is with the door locking mechanism itself, not just the cleaning program. You cannot be certain the lock will function correctly when running the baking mode. So, in all the door lock and electronic cases, do not use your Gaggenau and call a professional immediately.
- E106 – Door lock failed during self-cleaning
- F40 – Issues with the door lock mechanism (Lock motor, sensor, or wiring harness)
- E702, E704 – Data errors in lift-door electronics
- F13 – Jammed meat probe or damaged internal probe wiring

Summary
To make things even easier for you, at LE Company we built the following list of common error codes and our first aid recommendations for them:
- ER15 / E115 – The cavity / internal component temperature is too hot. Wait for it to cool down. Your oven may need maintenance. Then your Gaggenau is safe to use.
- ER3, E318 – The cooling fan has failed. Call a professional. Do not use the oven – risk of overheating internal components.
- E101, E104 – The temperature sensor is overloaded. Do not use the oven – risk of overheating internal components. Call a professional.
- ER1, ER4 – The temperature sensor is faulty or the safety circuit is tripped. Do not use the oven – risk of poor heating or overheating. Call a professional.
- ER9 – Power has failed. Try a hard reset. You can use your Gaggenau, if it works normally. If not, call a professional.
- ER2 – Power supply is flickering or weak. Check your socket. Try a hard reset. You can use your Gaggenau if it works normally. If not, call a professional.
- E005, E305 – Data exchange fails and general communication is lost. Try a hard reset. You can use your Gaggenau if it works normally. If not, call a professional.
- ER0, E010D – Internal communication lost between modules. Try a hard reset. You can use your Gaggenau if it works normally. If not, call a professional.
- ER7 – The door sensor says the door is open. Check the door is fully closed. Your Gaggenau is safe to use but needs maintenance – clean the seal.
- ER11, E05-32, E011 – The button is stuck or was held too long. Your Gaggenau is safe to use but needs maintenance – clean the control panel, make sure no buttons are jammed.
- E106, F40 – The door lock has failed or is malfunctioning. Call a professional. Do not use the oven – risk of severe burns or fire hazards from spontaneous door opening while running.
- E702, E704 – Lift-door electronics have failed. Call a professional. Do not use the oven – risk of burns, control board damage, or short circuits.
- F13 – The meat probe is jammed or damaged. Try removing and reinserting it firmly. If the code returns, call a professional. You can use your Gaggenau — just don't use the probe.
