When a Bosch dishwasher shows E2130, the control has detected zeolite / crystaldry fan motor 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 E2130 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

When to call a technician
