# Bosch dryer error code E08

### What this one means

The electronics have logged an error. 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:

- **E08, E09 dryer, E24 dryer, E25 dryer, E28 dryer, E90 dryer** — 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 control electronics
- In storm season, damage from a surge

### What to try yourself

- Unplug the machine for five minutes — genuinely unplugged rather than standby
- Empty the condensate tank if the model has one
- Try one short cycle

### Then what

Six numbers published under a single cause, which is honest: the code alone will not narrow it. The free thing is the five-minute unplug, and here in storm season it clears a fair share of them.

This code is published for dryers. 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.
