What Self-test result
actually means.
Bosch freezer columns can test themselves from the settings menu. The program runs, shows any problems it finds on the display, then restarts the appliance and shows a message when the test is finished. Bosch intends the result for service, so it is most useful written down and passed to the technician.

What to do when Self-test result shows on the freezerKind of codeControl board and communication
The boards that run the freezer stopped talking to each other, or one of them failed: the main control lost the display panel, or a board reported a problem of its own. A connector loosened by a move and a harness damp from condensation are checked before a board is ordered by model number. Built-in columns and undercounter freezers lean on their electronics more than a basic chest freezer does.
Usually leads toFreezer control board and alarm repair
Repairing the electronic control, display, door switch and sensors that run a modern freezer, including a temperature alarm that sounds without reason or never sounds at all.
Shows up asStandalone Freezer Not Freezing
A standalone freezer not freezing shows it on a thermometer long before the food goes soft: packages give under your thumb, a tub of stock is slush at the center, and the cabinet air feels cool rather than biting.
