The legacy Thermador service document lists E11 as a door latch problem on PDR30/36/48 and PRG30/36/48 ranges, shown as four oven-light flashes then four heating-light flashes. The reassuring part: the document says a non-critical error does not stop the range from working, and a dead latch only prevents self-clean. Newer ovens give E11 other meanings.
1. Check that the oven door closes fully and nothing blocks the latch. 2. Switch the oven off and restore power at the breaker after a pause. 3. Skip the self-clean cycle until the latch is checked. 4. Normal baking may still work, but book service if the four-then-four pattern keeps returning.
According to the legacy document, a dead latch only prevents self-clean, so regular cooking can continue. Skip the clean cycle and ask us to check the latch.
The latch locks the door during the very hot self-clean cycle. If the control cannot confirm it, it blocks cleaning to keep the door from opening while hot.
