When a Bosch dishwasher shows E06, the control has detected door-sensor circuit fault. The code narrows the diagnostic path but does not identify every cause by itself.
When a Bosch dishwasher shows E06, the control has detected door-sensor circuit fault. The code narrows the diagnostic path but does not identify every cause by itself.
Model compatibility: Bosch reuses codes across series and model years, so E06 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
