off works fine. I took it apart and saw 2 led sensors. There seems no way to adjust sensitivity. There is a red button that has adjust on a sisterboard but that may be for something else. Is there a simple way to adjust or do i need a new board (700$). i should call gaggenau and scream because it has never worked reliably

I had the same problem except I had more than one sensor causing concern. I have repaired it successfully by recalibrating the sensors. This is really easy to do, search the internet for the procedure and go to your local camera supply and buy a "gray card". I purchased an 8" X 10" gray card for $7.99 cut it in half so I could cover all of the sensors and pushed the reset button. It works perfectly now. Just a note on cleaning the underside of the glass; I did this first and gained nothing. Recalibrating the sensors was the answer. The appliance parts site and Bosch want $50.00 for the same gray card; they call it a kit, but its two 8x10's and a 4x4.
The underside of the glass had some dirt and I cleaned it with a towel only. It works much better, especially with the overhead light from the range hood on. I may take it apart and clean it with alcohol or windex again. Irritating, especially when the top costs over 3200$.
