Quick answer
Seeing E16? On many Bertazzoni oven units it relates to a sensor issue. Capture the model plate before resetting.
Model compatibility: Bertazzoni reuses codes across series and model years, so E16 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
If your Bertazzoni oven shows E16, start from the idea of a possible sensor-related problem — then confirm in the manual. Do not open sealed, gas, or live panels to “prove” it. Bertazzoni Appliance Repair uses the code as a starting clue; final diagnosis still follows your appliance’s documentation.

Important safety warning. Do not open internal panels, access high-voltage wiring, or bypass any safety device. If you ever smell gas, stop immediately, do not operate any switches, leave the area and contact your gas provider and a qualified independent technician. If you see smoke, sparks, a burning smell, or water near electrical parts, switch the appliance off at the outlet if it is safe to do so and call a professional.
Please avoid
What not to attempt
Do not open internal panels or access high-voltage components
Do not adjust, disconnect or repair any gas connection or valve
Do not bypass door locks, safety switches or interlocks
Do not keep running the appliance if there is water near electrical parts, a burning smell or sparks

When to call a technician
If you are unsure at any point with E16 on screen, contact Bertazzoni Appliance Repair for on-site confirmation rather than opening panels yourself.
Seeing this code on your Bertazzoni appliance?
Book a specialist visit for a clear estimate and approval before any repair. Independent service — not an official Bertazzoni service center.
Clearing the display is fine once notes are saved — it is not a repair. When E16 comes back on the next use, contact Bertazzoni Appliance Repair.
The same characters can map to different subsystems on different Bertazzoni controls. Always verify E16 against your unit’s documentation.
No. Bertazzoni Appliance Repair publishes independent repair guidance for homeowners. Use your Bertazzoni model manual for manufacturer wording, then book an independent technician if the fault continues.
