Safe checks you can perform

  • Reset power once

Leave these tasks to a qualified professional

  • Do not attempt this professional task: Diagnose the heat-pump heater circuit

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.

  1. Diagnose the heat-pump heater circuit

    What they doA qualified Bosch technician should diagnose and repair the internal heater fault.

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.

  1. Reset power once

    No special tools

    Turn the dishwasher circuit breaker off for 30 seconds then restore power. If E09 returns stop troubleshooting.

    Do not open the appliance or access the heat pump.
