The oven control panel (smooth glass panel) will not respond to user input. Pressing the pad to use oven, set time, etc. yields no response. It started to get hard to input selections (required many tries to enter input) about 6 months ago. It got progressively worse and now doesn't work at all. Gas range works, panel lights work but can't set time since input pad doesn't work. Control knob seems to work. Range burner igniter works.

Would like to troubleshoot this problem but don't know how. I'm relatively handy and do almost all my own repairs. I'm afraid it needs a new display panel which may cost more than the unit is worth. Can someone please help me determine if it can be cost effectively fixed or if I should scrap it and look for another unit?

Thanks.

Tape is not the best solution. You need some way to keep the control board permanently in contact with the glass. I roughly carved a soft piece of wood so that it would wedge firmly between the control board and the back side of the housing. Solved it completely

Thank you for the really helpful suggestion. Really helped.

thanks for this thread- I called Bosch when I thought the control panel was bad and they told me the part was $140.00 plus $125.00 labor just to determine what was wrong! Bosch should be ashamed of themselves. The adhesive is obviously a bad idea in this location where the heat can affect the control panel from moving away from the glass. i also took a wood skewer, broke it into pieces and wedged the pieces so the control panel was closer to the glass! And if it happens again, i know exactly the problem and what to do! Thanks Again!
