Evidence linked to this decision
View source: Bosch US dishwasher error codesRisk level
Medium
Proceed carefully and stop if the check is unclear.
Urgency
High
Quick answer
E01 means a heat-pump motor circuit fault was detected at the main control. Disconnect it once and request service if the code returns; do not open electrical covers.
Safety first
Stop and check this first
- Leave the dishwasher disconnected for heat, arcing, burning odour, repeated breaker trips or a damaged plug. Never probe an energised board.
Safe checks you can perform
- Perform one controlled power reset
- Inspect only the external supply
- Record the full code and E-number
Leave these tasks to a qualified professional
- Do not attempt this professional task: Separate supply and control faults
What a technician must be able to justify
Technician visit
These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.
These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.
Separate supply and control faults
What they doA qualified technician should test the incoming supply, protected input, harnesses and the code-specific control circuit.
Before accepting a part or repair
Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.
Follow these steps
Note: Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.
Perform one controlled power reset
Switch off, isolate the dishwasher at its normal dry supply for 30 seconds and restore power only once.
Leave the dishwasher disconnected for heat, arcing, burning odour, repeated breaker trips or a damaged plug. Never probe an energised board.

Leave the dishwasher disconnected for heat, arcing, burning odour, repeated breaker trips or a damaged plug. Never probe an energised board.

What it means
Bosch's official United States dishwasher table associates E01 with a heat-pump motor circuit fault at the main control board. This page is restricted to Bosch dishwashers: the same code on a washer, dryer or another appliance can mean something else, and the exact E-number and manual decide compatibility.
