Bosch dishwasher showing E01? It means the PerfectDry zeolite heat pump motor has failed. What it costs, what to check, and when to call a tech.

Bosch dishwasher E08 is a heating/temperature control fault — often a half-failed heater. Lukewarm-water symptoms, safe checks, and repair cost.

Bosch dishwasher E09 means the flow-through heater is not producing heat. Cold-wash symptoms, safe checks, repair cost, and when to call a pro.

Bosch dishwasher E12 is a limescale warning, not a breakdown. A descaling cycle usually clears it. Costs, the fix, and hard-water prevention.

Bosch dishwasher E15 (AquaStop) means water reached the base pan and leak protection tripped. How to drain it, find the leak, and repair cost.

Bosch dishwasher E16 is an overfill fault — usually the inlet valve or a drain backflow. How to tell E16 from E17, safe checks, and repair cost.

Bosch dishwasher E18 means low or no water is reaching the machine. Check the supply valve and inlet hose first — the cheapest fixes. Cost inside.

Bosch dishwasher E22 means the filter is blocked — the easiest code to fix. How to clean the triple filter, plus symptoms and near-zero cost.

On a dishwasher that has never drained properly, E24 is usually a disposal knockout plug nobody removed. On one that drained fine for years it never is. When the code first appeared decides which half of this list applies — and E25 is a different code again.

Bosch/Gaggenau dishwasher F1 means the flood switch tripped on water in the base pan. Where the leak hides on panel-ready units, and repair cost.

Bosch oven/range E1 points to a control-board fault, often after a power surge. Why the oven goes dead, the one safe reset to try, and repair cost.

Bosch oven/range E2 is a safety-critical runaway-temperature code. Do not reset power — a welded relay is a fire risk. Why it trips and repair cost.

Bosch oven/range E3 means an open oven temperature sensor — a broken wire or a failed NTC probe. The cheapest oven code to fix; symptoms and cost.

Bosch oven/range E5 is a board-to-board communication fault — the display works but the oven ignores it. Ribbon-cable checks, the cheaper board, and cost.

Bosch oven/range E6 is a door-lock fault tied to self-clean — often a stripped worm gear in the motorized lock. Why the door jams, safety, and cost.

Bosch washer E02 is a drive-motor fault — winding, carbon brushes, or motor control. EcoSilence vs brushed motors, symptoms, and repair cost.

Bosch washer E04 (AquaStop) means a leak was detected — door boot, hose, or a tub bearing seal. Rusty-water warning signs and repair cost inside.

Both valves open, hoses straight, screens clean, and E13 still appears. Which programmes it shows up on, and whether any water reaches the tub at all, separate borderline house pressure from one blocked side or a failed valve.

Bosch washer E17 is a fill timeout — low pressure, a weak inlet valve, or an overlooked pressure-sensor hose. Symptoms, safe checks, and repair cost.

Bosch washer E27 is a door-lock fault — often the detect microswitch, not the mechanism. Why the lock clicks but the cycle stalls, and repair cost.
