Bosch Dishwasher E09 / E2030 Error Code

Bosch identifies E09 and E2030 as an internal heat-pump heater fault/error and directs a single 30-second breaker reset followed by support if unresolved.

Applies to Bosch dishwasher whose exact model documentation uses the listed display

What the appliance detected

Detected condition

The dishwasher reports an internal heat-pump heater fault or error.

What may contribute

Possible causes

  • The control system detected an abnormal condition in the internal heat-pump heating system.
  • A heater, heat pump, control, connection, or wiring condition may require professional diagnosis.

Start conservatively

Safe preliminary checks

Work in order and stop whenever a step is not supported by the documentation for your model.

  1. Record the exact display and model

    • Photograph the display before clearing E09 / E2030 and confirm every character.
    • Confirm the full Bosch E-Nr / model number because codes and supported reset procedures can vary by series.

  2. Use only the Bosch-documented reset and exterior checks

    • If the appliance and breaker can be handled safely, switch the dishwasher circuit off for 30 seconds and restore power once, as Bosch directs for this code family.
    • Do not perform resistance, continuity, or live-voltage tests on the heater or heat pump.

  3. Stop at the service boundary

    • If the code remains or returns after the documented check, contact Bosch Customer Support or qualified appliance service.
    • Do not pull the dishwasher apart to reach pumps, heaters, control boards, sensors, wiring, or other internal components.

Actions not recommended

  • Do not test live voltage, remove electrical covers, or access the control board.
  • Do not bypass door, leak, heater, or other safety controls.
  • Do not replace a pump, heater, sensor, dispenser, wiring harness, or control board from the code alone.

When to stop and request service

  • E09 or E2030 remains or returns after the documented reset.
  • The dishwasher no longer heats or dries normally.
  • Any heat-pump, heater, board, connector, or wiring diagnosis is required.
