# Bosch refrigeration error code E or D

### What this one means

The refrigerator has an error message it does not describe further. 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:

- **A letter on the refrigerator display** — how a model with no digital display says it. On that machine, the lights are the code

### 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:

- Anything the appliance logs

### What to try yourself

- Switch the appliance off
- Disconnect it from the power supply at the plug or the breaker
- Reconnect after five minutes

### Then what

The third and last of the refrigeration codes, and the least specific. If it survives five minutes disconnected, the useful information is what the compartments are actually doing rather than what the display says.

This code is published for refrigerators and wine & beverage storage. The [full list of codes](https://boschmiami.support/error-codes/) has the rest of them, searchable, including the labels older and newer machines use for the same conditions.
