Safe preliminary checks
Work in order and stop whenever a step is not supported by the documentation for your model.
Record the display and Bosch model
- Photograph or write down E08 or E09 or E24 or E25 or E28 or E90 before clearing it.
- Confirm the complete model number and owner manual because Bosch dryer displays and owner procedures vary by model and family.
Use only Bosch-supported owner checks
- Stop the cycle and record the exact displayed identifier and complete model number.
- Do not remove panels, access a control board, press an internal reset, or test live voltage.
- Contact Bosch support or an authorized service provider.
Respect the dryer service boundary
- Stop if a check would require removing a panel, reaching internal wiring, testing live voltage, or accessing a heating or gas system.
- If the display remains or returns after the documented owner check, contact Bosch support or qualified dryer service.
Actions not recommended
- Do not assume the display applies to another Bosch dryer without checking its exact manual.

When to stop and request service
