Risk level

Medium

Proceed carefully and stop if the check is unclear.

Urgency

High

Quick answer

E10 means the mineral-drying chamber heater did not operate correctly. Let the appliance cool, isolate power and follow the model manual; most heating faults require service.

Safety first

Stop and check this first

  • Stop for overheating, steam leakage, electrical smell, breaker trips or repeated heating codes. Never expose or energise a heater outside its housing.

Safe checks you can perform

  • Allow a complete cool-down
  • Use only the code-specific safe action
  • Record heating and drying symptoms

Leave these tasks to a qualified professional

  • Do not attempt this professional task: Diagnose the thermal and circulation system

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 thermal and circulation system

    What they doA technician should test circulation, enclosed heater, sensors, fan, mineral chamber and control against E-number data.

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. Allow a complete cool-down

    No special tools

    Stop the programme, keep the door closed until steam and hot water settle, then isolate power at a dry supply.

    Stop for overheating, steam leakage, electrical smell, breaker trips or repeated heating codes. Never expose or energise a heater outside its housing.

  2. Use only the code-specific safe action

    No special tools

    For E12 follow the model's approved descaling instructions; for airflow codes move dishes away from the visible vent after cooling.

    Stop for overheating, steam leakage, electrical smell, breaker trips or repeated heating codes. Never expose or energise a heater outside its housing.

    Evidence: Bosch US dishwasher error codes

  3. Record heating and drying symptoms

    No special tools

    Note whether water remained cold, drying stopped or unusual noise occurred, without opening the base or side panels.

    Stop for overheating, steam leakage, electrical smell, breaker trips or repeated heating codes. Never expose or energise a heater outside its housing.

What it means

Bosch's official United States dishwasher table associates E10 with a heater fault in the mineral drying chamber. 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.

Warnings and stop conditions

Symptoms and causes

Probable causes · in order

  • Heat, circulation or drying airflow is restrictedConfirmed

    Scale, a blocked hydraulic path, obstructed air opening or abnormal circulation can prevent the expected temperature or drying response.

    Evidence: Bosch US dishwasher error codes

  • A heater, pump, fan, sensor or control circuit is faultyPossible

    Several installed components share the thermal process, so the display does not identify one replaceable part.
