Type what you can see and the list filters to it. Every code here is published by the manufacturer, and unlike most makes, this one says what each of them means — so these pages can go straight to what the code covers and what it still does not tell you. 72 — conditions, each with its own page 157 — code labels and signals covered 49 — you can act on yourself from $95 — diagnostic, credited to the repair ## Search the full list Codes are written differently across generations — E24, E-24, E6103, E61-03 and four flashing lights are all the same condition. Type whatever you can see; spaces and dashes do not matter, and the older labels find the page too. 72 conditions covering 157 published labels, read off the manufacturer's own support pages. If your code is not here, it is not necessarily invalid — some are shown only in service mode, and some are specific to a model year. Call 1-11-111-11 with the model number and what the display is doing. ## On a machine with no display, the flashing lights are the code. The same condition is published under different labels depending on how old the appliance is. A dishwasher that cannot get water out shows **E24** or **E25** on an older machine, **E6102** or **E61-03** on a newer one, and on a model with no digital display at all it flashes four lights above the door. The manufacturer publishes that mapping itself; they are not three problems. So there is one page here per condition rather than one per label, and every page names the others. Type any of them into the search above and you will land in the same place. ## Four things worth having in front of you Codes clear themselves, and the one thing nobody can recover afterwards is what the display actually said. These take a minute and they are usually the difference between one appointment and two. Write it down - Photograph the display, every character of it — a code with a colon and a second number means both halves matter - Take the model number from the plate: the door edge on a dishwasher, the door collar on laundry Then try the free thing - Five minutes genuinely off at the breaker, not standby — it clears a real share of them - And note whether the code came back, because a code that survives that is a code that means something ## A pattern of flashing lights is a code, and we can read it. Plenty of this equipment has no display to show a code on — the entry-series dishwashers in particular, which say everything with the lights above the door. Which lights, and whether they flash together or in turn, is as specific as any number. Tell us the model number and which lights are doing what, and we will tell you whether it is something to check yourself or something to book. **Call 1-11-111-11**, or describe it in the form above. ## Start from the symptom instead If the display is not telling you anything useful, start from what the appliance is doing. Each of these covers the likely causes cheapest first and what to check yourself. ## What people ask us about error codes Is there a Bosch error code list I can download? — The manufacturer publishes its codes across its own support pages, one page per appliance. The list here is compiled from those so you can search all of them at once, with the older and newer labels for each condition side by side. We do not reproduce the manufacturer's own wording or repair procedures. My code has a colon and two groups of numbers. — That is the newer laundry format, and the second group is the half that matters — it is what separates a blocked drain from a supply problem from too much detergent. Photograph the whole thing rather than the first part. How do I clear a code? — Five minutes genuinely off at the breaker clears a good number of them. Clearing a code does not fix what caused it — if it returns, it is telling you something. Photograph the display before you cut the power; the code will be gone afterwards. Does the case of the letter matter? — On the ranges, yes, and it is the one place it does. A lower-case e302 is the power board and an upper-case E302 is the control panel — two separate published conditions with two different answers. Everywhere else, case is just how the display draws it. The code says what is wrong. Why would I need a technician? — Sometimes you do not, and about two thirds of the conditions here are things an owner can act on. What a published cause names is a circuit rather than a component: a drain code covers a filter, a pump, a loose cover, a kinked hose and an air gap, and four of those five you can handle yourself. ## Photograph the display, then tell us the model. Those two things are usually enough for us to say what is likely, what it involves, and what it should cost before anyone comes out. --- **[Read full article: Error codes archive](https://boschmiami.support/error-codes-archive/)**
