Very Happy

published

Very Happy- I purchased a HBA63S4.1A just over 3 years ago. It replaced a fully functioning oven ( not BOSCH ) that was over 20 years old. There was a fault with the oven, but Bosch fixed it for free - very good service.

Purchased in February 2021.

Good oven, but element failed shortly out of warranty

published

We are faily happy with the oven and it cooks well, however, the main element in the fan force section burnt out after only about 2-3 years service. We had to have it replaced and the spare parts are very expensive and when the element was being replaced, some of the screws are already rusty and parts of the oven body are corroding away..

Purchased in November 2021.

We have bought and own many Bosch products but this is disappointing. Pyrolytic cleaning has failed.

published

We own Bosch dishwashers, hot water systems and washing machines, thus we purchased the Self Cleaning Bosch oven from The Good Guys and it's been a fantastic oven. We have only used the Pyrolytic function maybe five or six times (after cooking pork roasts etc) of which the function cleans well - but we went to use it the other day and it fails to activate. We have read all the posts on here and see others have had quite a few faults. We thought this oven would last for more than 5 or 6 years as it wasn't cheap and repair people don't seem to want to know about it.. Have to think twice next time we purchase an oven as to whether to spend the extra dollars on Bosch is worth it. :(

Just an update: Bosch customer service out of 'Good will' have resolved our issue with the oven and the technician who attended was extremely knowledgeable and repaired the oven back to working order. Thank you both!

SPARKS FLY!!!!Beware of Bosch Series 6 ovens!

published

We have purchased Bosch products for over 10 years but no more. I have a registered Series 6 HBA63S451A 60 cm Built-in Oven purchased from Harvey Norman Fyshwick ACT. Just as the warranty has lapsed the oven completely blew today with a loud bang and "SPARKS" flying everywhere!!!! Very dangerous.
This happened while "TURNING OFF" the Pyrolytic function. That’s right, not turning it on, not during, but turning it off. Even sparks. WOW!!!! I presume the circuit board is fried!

Very disappointed with Bosch! Typical of a major appliance dying just out of warranty!!!

Cracked internal glass door

published

First time using self cleaning pyrolitic function. Have cleaned manually previously as even though bought thinking this function would be great, was just unsure. (OLD school thinking). Anyway thought I'd give it a go. Followed instructions as per manual. Loud bang about 30mins into clean. Inside glass panel major crack spanning right across width of panel. Not happy at all. Oven has been superb until this happened.

Inner glass oven door cracked.

published

Q1 yes Q2 Performs as well as former not so expensive ovens. Extremely disappointed as stove was not installed till 2013 after new kitchen completed in our new purchase of a home. Have used pyrogenic clean only twice. After cooking evening meal of baked chicken there was no breakage but following evening when attempting to remove a rack noticed severe breakage. We feel we paid a substantial sum for a brand we considered superior to others but feel the price of the inner glass (seemingly a common fault) unacceptable and feel another brand replacement
more appropriate if bosch dose not come to the party and renew the glass.

Constantly cracking glass

published

We bought this oven in 2013 for almost $1700. The glass cracked in 2015, days outside the warranty period and again recently (2016). Both incidents occurred when drops of cold water/sauce came into contact with the glass door. She made numerous complains with Customer Service but unfortunately there was little support provided. She ended up repairing it for $400 each time. It's extremely disappointing for a reputable brand like Bosch to have such a poor quality product at such a high price. One cannot help but wonder if the product is defective.

Very happy with my oven

published

I did my research on what's the best oven in the market that has self cleaning features and this popped up.Informed the builder we wanted this model to be installed on our house and everything has worked perfectly with no problem ever since. The finish was beautiful, the double glazed door helped with our kid at home trying to touch the oven door while we're cooking something. The child lock feature was also very helpful. Tried the self cleaning cycle several times and it cleaned the oven with no hassle. You just have to wipe the dust with a cloth after the cycle finishes. Oven running for almost 3 years and so far very very happy with the product.

Waited for part that was on order for a few weeks & it has since been installed on 27/11/15. As usual the technician was prompt & all done within 30 mins. Have not done a pyro yet. It's time to bite the bullet & do it.

Glass door cracked again

published

That is the second time the we found the glass door to be cracked,whilst cleaning the glass door in preparation for self-cleaning we found the door glass to be cracked at the bottom, that crack is hard to see due to the shape of the glass. Now that oven is out of warranty by three months(4 months we spend overseas). Please consider that weak point if buying a Bosch wall oven,otherwise the product is working good.

excellent oven

published

Bought this oven as part of a package deal from the Good Guys. This oven heats up rapidly, and cooks everything to perfection. There are several functions as well as top and bottom element heating. The pyrolytic function cleans the oven without any scrubbing. Just a wipeout with a damp sponge. The slide out rails are really handy, specially when using heavy baking pans. The oven has a programmable timer and a child lock, and stays cool on the outside no matter how hot inside, due to having 4 glass panel layers in the door.
I thoroughly recomend it.

Self Cleaning Not Heating

published

We purchased the Oven and also a cooktop.
We have tried a few times to use the self cleaning function of the oven but the oven doesn't heat up to clean. It heats to cook but not on the clean function. Oven still in warranty so hoping Bosch honour the 12 months warranty and fix this problem. Otherwise this oven is good.

Don't expect this to last

published

The oven was out of warranty by 2 months and was rarely used (overseas for 4 months of the warranty period) when the electronic control unit failed completely. No help from Bosch- as expected- and now faced with half the cost of the oven again for repairs which might see it last for another 50 or so uses. Will be consigned to land fill and replaced with a brand that may go the distance.

Looks nice though

HBA63S451A - Poor Quality Oven

published

8 months after purchasing the oven, the problems began. Oven wouldn't bake equally and temperature does not give accurate reading. Bosch attempted to fix the oven on 3 occasions, but the problems remain. Will not buy Bosch product again.

It's now the 3rd of February, and I haven't had a word from Bosch about replacing the glass, and it's been 6 weeks or so. Still waiting.

Serie 6 HBA63S451A

I want to clean my oven. I have cleaned the door oven glass but there is still a light brown mark which is apparently on the inside of the of the glass. The mark is about 75cms square, its is not very noticeable but I can still see it. Do I have to take the oven door glass off and clean this mark off or will it be okay to clean it with it still there?

hi Sue D,
Thanks for your question regarding your Bosch HBA63S451A oven.
E011 is a button that is actuated continuously from a jammed button or the push button does not open. Try releasing or cleaning around the buttons.
