The product, in the report: Bosch 800 Series 30 inch 5 Burner.4.8 cubic ft., slide-in Natural Gas, self cleaning, Convection Oven (Stainless steel) Model HGI8056UC
I bought a Bosch 30 inch MODEL HG18056UC 5 burner gas oven. After doing a self cleaning, I noticed there were chips in the interior enamel. Also chip of enamel dug into my thumb while rinsing oven. The metal is now exposed. I called Bosch who informed me it was cosmetic and not a manufacturer’s defect. I feel this is a danger to our health because of the exposed metal.

The product, in the report: Gas stovetop for Bosch dual-fuel range - five burners
I bought a Bosch Dual Fuel Range (Serial #950500172) in 2015, which was installed in my home in [REDACTED]. Starting within about two years, we would turn on the left or right front burner, and the ignition would simply click (along with all the other burners) with the gas coming out. We would stop, wait awhile; sometimes if we turned on another burner the one we wanted would work. Sometimes none of the burners would work, or only the rear ones. Authorized technicians came over the summer of 2018 to clean and then replace ignition system (at considerable cost), but the problem reappeared early that fall and then each summer since. When humidity is high, the front and other burners cannot ignite, and we must wait for the front burners to dry out via the rear burners. This is extremely dangerous, since gas comes out while the ignition is not working.

I was sitting at the kitchen counter this morning when the outside pane of glass in the oven blew out sending shards of glass throughout the kitchen. The oven and the stove top were not in use during this time. The last time I used the oven was 5:30pm the night before. I have never used the self- cleaning feature.

No one hurt Made Aug 9, 2016, sent to the company Aug 17, 2016, published by CPSC Aug 31, 2016
The product, in the report: 5-burner gas cooktop
I purchased a Bosch 500 Series Gas Cooktop on Oct. 18, 2012. It’s Model Number NGM5664UC/03. Serial Number 920900017. The layout of the cooktop has five burners -- two on each side, and one in the middle rear. The control panel metal plate with knbos is in the middle front of the cooktop.
I began noticing that the control panel metal plate grew very hot when the cooktop was in use. It gets so hot that if my hand accidentally touches the plate for more than a few seconds, the skin would be burned. I called Bosch to complain about this in March 2016. They sent out a technician on March 29, who told me that the cooktop has a known knob/range defect of conducting heat to the control panel. He ordered some foam to put underneath the metal cooktop frame, and returned in May to apply it. However, the foam did nothing, so I called Bosch to complain again.
Their technician returned on May 17, wrote up a report and said nothing could be done to fix it. After several frustrating calls to Bosch, I got no help. So on June 2, I filed a complaint with the Los Angeles County Department of Consumer and Business Affairs. The investigator looked into the issue, and Bosch agreed to send out a third-party vendor ([REDACTED]) for a second opinion.
The [REDACTED] technician came out July 8. He measured the temperature of the control panel when the burner was on a medium flame at 128 degrees. He said if I had turned the flame up to its maximum, the temperature would have gone even higher, but there was nothing he could do to fix the problem. Bosch considered the matter closed, and offered me a little more than $500 to buy back the cooktop. I declined their offer.
[REDACTED], at the Los Angeles County Department of Consumer and Business Affairs, gave me your information and said I could file an incident report with you. So I am doing that.

The product, in the report: Bosch 30” gas cook top
We have a Bosch 30” gas cook top and the control knob for the large burner becomes inoperable when that burner is used. Apparently the heat from that burner causes the mechanism to expand an you can not turn it off. The only way to extinguish the flame is to shut off the gas and disconnect the electric. When it cools down the control knob will work again. We have discontinued using that burner

The product, in the report: Bosch Free Standing Gas Range Model #HGS7282 UC.
Bosch Free Standing Range HGS7282 After purchasing this Bosch Range In 2006, when I was cleaning the oven, heat escaped from It and melted the knobs on the front of the range. Bosch repaired the item and it has worked fine until recently when the same thing occurred. This time I got an error 41 message. When I called Bosch they told me to turn off power to the range at the mains (which I did). It melted the knobs again and discolored the stainless steel outside above the door. the Bosch repairman came today and said that heat was escaping from the door. They want to repair It, but I have a concern this could happen again since it has happened twice now. The repairman told us that this was not a common problem, although I have seen mention of it on the Internet.

The product, in the report: Bosch gas wall oven, stainless steel,Model HBL5450UC/08, Serial number 920800174.
On Sunday evening, Sept. 28, 2014, I turned my Bosch convection oven on to preheat. Shortly, I heard a loud pop only to find the interior glass had shattered into little pieces. We moved into this home only this past August and it was only the second time I used this oven. It was like new because the prior owners worked in Washington, DC and were here only on weekends and either ate out or barbequed. I called Bosch and reported the incident. They agreed to send out a technician to diagnose the problem (?shattered interior glass) and he would tell me what needs to be replaced and that cost would be on me. Surely, this is a defective piece of safety glass, and I feel the cost should be borne by Bosch. The model number is HBL5450UC/08. The Serial number is 920800174.

The product, in the report: Bosch Gas Range #HGS225UC/01
I have a Bosch Range #HGS255UC/01. This was an expensive range$1800. It has had several problems since we purchased it. The latest problem is a real safety problem. The door doesnot close properly. My knobs on the front are damaged from the heat escaping. The front of the stove gets extremely hot and my cupboard beside the stove gets hot as well. I leave my cupboard door open when I use the oven so it will not burn. The replacement part as very expensive. Bosch has acknowledge a design problem with this door and has made the repair very costly for the consumer. A product recall should have been done on this part at the cost to Bosch.

The product, in the report: Bosch gas 5 burner cooktop
On September 6, 2010, we bought a Bosch gas 5 burner cooktop, model, NGM5654SS, for $813.06, at ABT Electronics at 1200 North Milwaukee Avenue, Glenview, Illinois 60025 (see attached). Gradually, we began having difficulty to turning the gas on or off. On a couple of occasions only the smell of gas alerted us that despite the knob pointing to the off mark, in fact had not completely shut the gas off. We then realized that ALL of the knobs were cracked (see attached pictures), we went to ABT Electronics and express our safety concerns about the low quality and fragility of cooktop knobs we had bought from this store. They did not show any concern about selling a product with that high risk safety issue; the only response was to sell us the replacements for $18.00, dollars plus tax a piece, totaling over $115.00. Failing to get our safety concerns through with ABT Electronics, we went directly to Bosch and Siemens Corporation, 1901 Main Street, Suite-600, Irvine, CA 92614, (949)440-7100. We contacted this company by telephone and spoke to Ms. [REDACTED] Customer Service, explaining in detail the potential for gas leaks, fire, explosion and Carbon Monoxide poisoning resulting from the defective cooktop knobs. She did not express any interest or concern and like ABT Electronics, only offer to sell to us the same frail, Inadequate and unsafe cooktop knobs, but with 10% discount. I strongly made clear to her that my fear was the unsafe design and poor quality of the material of the knobs, not a handout. Furthermore, I sent to Ms. [REDACTED] on January 27, 2014, all the pictures from the 5 knobs and her only email response was, “Thank you so much for sending me the information. I will attach it to your file.’’ To this date I have not heard anything from Bosch and Siemens Corporation. We have tried to find on the market better designed replacements for the knobs, but none of them fit this particular cooktop model, which has rendered the expensive cooktop useless for us. We then contacted the City of Des Plaines Fire Consumer Protection Section and I was directed by Fire Chief, [REDACTED] on February 4, 2014, to contact you.

The product, in the report: Bosch 36” Black Cook Top (5-burner), Model # NGM5664UC
I purchased a Bosch gas cook top model #NGM5664UC on March 5th, 2013. I noticed that while using the cook top with a normal sized pot (1 or 2 quart) on the cook top, the area around the knobs and the knobs them selves seems to get quite hot. I called Bosch to report this matter, which they sent out an appliance technician who measured the temperature of the area around the knobs. The technician reported that this area was registering at 172 degrees fahrenheit. The technician told me that 150 degrees is the top end of the acceptable range, I found the 172 degrees very alarming. I followed up with Bosch to find out the next steps as the temperature is clearly over the threashold and can cause 3rd degree burns to myself or my family within seconds by touching an area that is ment to be touched (I can only imagine what would happen if a child touched this area). During my follow-up with Bosch, they told me they were going to talk to an engineer to find out the cause of this. As that was approximately 3 weeks ago, I followed up with Bosch to find out the status of my issue. They told me that they had closed my issue. They told me that they now have to send out another technican (I am not sure what another technician is going to do) on October 11th, 2013. I am extremely concerned for the safety of myself and my family. Please let me know how I should handle this matter and let me know if you need anything from me. Thank you for your time.

The product, in the report: Gas cooktop inserted into a cooking island.
While cooking breakfast, I attempted to adjust the left front burner of the cooktop. I burned the pad of my right hand index finger in the process. I removed the pan from the burner and lowered the flame using a dishrag. There was a visible hissing sound and steam came from the knob. Using a hot pad puts a flammable cloth very near the burner.

the bosch gas range/oven has a patent design defect which has been repaired or replaced numerous times by the manufacturer. the hinge assembly connects directly to the thin metal door liner and at high temperatures this assembly experiences accelerated creep, causing the door to gap open and not close properly. The burner knobs above the door gap open and the front of the oven overheats excessively, causing an unsafe surface which easily caused 3rd degree burns.

The product, in the report: Bosch L.P. gas cooktop; model # NHT726A; serial #78111244
My wife was simmering sausage in a 2 quart pot (half filled) on the back right burner. She turned away and went to the sink which is about 3.5 feet. She was at the sink for about 1.5 seconds and the cooktop shattered (blew-up). The glass was tempered and about 99% stayed intact. Pieces of the remaining 1% of the glass was found up to 22 feet away from the cooktop. My wife got hit with some of the glass (some pieces were found in her hair), but she was not injured and no medical attention was needed. My daughter was in the family room, the most distant area where glass was found, she was not hit with any flying glass. I received a cut on the bottom of my foot from a piece of glass ( during the clean up stage). My wife removed it and no other medical attention was needed. I called Bosch on 12/03/12 (Monday) to report the incident. If my wife happened to be in front of the cooktop she very well would have incurred some serious injuries or possibly been fatally injured. The Bosch cooktop was purchased in 10/23/99 and was installed sometime in December 1999 during the the final phase of construction. I have had many issues with this product and have work orders from 2004,2005,2006,2009,2011. The last three occasions were installation of an enhancement kit: NHT72# AUC Field Kit, 820119. The kit calls for the following parts to be changed: Valve Bypass Screws (L.P.), Burner Orifices (L.P.), Gas Tubing (Valve to Burner), Burner Mounting Brackets, Burner Gaskets, Spark Igniter, GasRegulator (4” to 5”), Rating Label, Burners will be changed and rotated.

The product, in the report: Bosch gas range, stainless and black. Model # HGS3052UC/01, Serial #FD870200207
On September 20th 2012 we returned to our home after a 4 hour absence. Immediately upon entering the house we could smell that something was very hot. We went straight to the gas range and noticed that the display panel indicated the broiler was on and was set to HI. The range, microwave above it and counters were very hot to the touch indicating to us that the broiler had been on for quite some time. The entire house was filled with a “hot” smell. I had not used the stove or broiler that day. In fact, I hadn’t used the broiler in quite some time. We turned the broiler off. Less than half an hour later, it did the same thing. Our BOSCH gas range, MODEL NUMBER HGS53052UC/01, SERIAL NUMBER FD870200207 had once again TURNED ITSELF ON to HI broil. We unplugged it and have not used it since. Our local appliance repairman, in consultation with the BOSCH technicians, diagnosed it as a bad control module. Our range is 5 years old, but this is still a very dangerous malfunction. Had it occurred 4 days later, we would have been on vacation and would have most likely returned to a burned down home. I did some research on the Internet, thinking there must have been a recall on the product. I found no recall, but did find several other consumer reports stating control module problems with the Bosch gas range and even another report exactly the same experience as ours.

The product, in the report: Bosch Stainless Steel 30” Gas freestanding Oven with black trim
Bosch Freestanding Gas Range approx 2009 Model number HGS445UC/02 Stainless Steel - High End Model Gas Range
These incidents have happened throughout the 2011 year
The stainless steel front of the Bosch Gas range oven (which must weigh about 5 lbs) which covers the entire door came off and almost broke my toes when it landed onto the floor.
The range trim plastic piece which holds the glass onto the oven front broke - we had Sears come out to fix it and they said it was loose and screwed it back on.
Then the glass front again fell off - lucky when I was not there.
Then we bought $200 worth of new plastic trim pieces and screws from Bosch authorized dealer. Again the front of the heavy stainless steel door came off.
Now I’m just throwing this horror range oven which seems to want to cut my toes off -- it is no longer repairable and I wished I never spent the $200 worth of parts to try to get it fixed.
Do not buy the Bosch Gas freestanding range HGS445UC/02 whatever you do if you want your toes not broken. Its a beautiful oven range -- but who would ever know that it the front of the oven door can come off and almost cut your toes off when standing in front of the range cooking.
I have never had this happen in my life!!!

Subject: Bosch gas stove, Model No. HG55L50UC06; Model 9109 000051 Rack design defect: potential fire or injury hazard
Late last year, we acquired and had installed the Bosch stove unit. Twice despite being careful in using the oven, an “accident” has occurred.
To wit, twice I have placed a pan on the oven rack and after a few minutes of baking I needed to add another pan to the same rack. Per Bosch’s instructions: In doing so, I pulled the rack forward, placed the new (2nd) pan on the rack, pushing the first pan back a bit. Perhaps I pushed a bit too firmly or too far, but the first pan tumbled onto the rack or oven pan below.
Regardless, anyone could inadvertently cause a pan to fall beyond the back of the extended rack. Fortuitously, in these cases there were no cooking oils or fats extracted from the baking process that could have spilled through the opening in the oven bottom to the flames below the oven bottom.
Unfortunately, the “lip” on the rack’s “back side” is minimal at most. Likewise there is an absence of a meaningful curl or turn-up to the rack’s “back side”. It would appear that a one-time modest cost saving in design effort and assembly “jig” construction, can now give rise to devastating and preventable accident.
Per diagram in the user manual and in execution there is virtually no “lip” or “curl” and whatever has been designed and manufactured is minimal to be charitable. Kindly advise when an improved and safer rack is available to overcome this dangerous hazard.
