Usually not a repair Dishwasher not drying
Plastics coming out wet is how these machines are designed to behave, and it is the single most common reason somebody books a repair on this brand that they do not need. Glassware coming out wet is a different matter.
- Plastics wet, glass and steel dry
- Everything wet, including glass
- Drying noticeably worse than it used to be

About Bosch error code E10
What this one means
The heater in the mineral drying chamber is not responding. It is a code the manufacturer publishes for this appliance, not one we have worked out — and it is decoded here rather than left as three characters on a display.
The other ways your machine may say it
The same condition is published under more than one label, because it has been carried across generations of this appliance:
- E10, E2120 — the same condition, on machines of different ages
What the code covers
A published cause names a circuit rather than a component, which is the single most useful thing to know before ordering a part. This one covers:
- The chamber heater
- Its circuit
Worth doing before you call
- Check whether the glassware is still coming out dry — if it is, the wash side is healthy and this is drying alone
Then what
This is on the upper series only. The machine still washes perfectly; it simply loses the drying advantage those models were bought for.
This code is published for dishwashers. The full list of codes has the rest of them, searchable, including the labels older and newer machines use for the same conditions.
