What 0 means on a Bosch dishwasher

Error code 0 on a Bosch dishwasher indicates that the control board completed its diagnostic test program and found no faults in any of the monitored systems. This code appears at the end of a service technician test cycle, confirming that the machine's sensors, wash pump, drain pump, heating element, water inlet valve, and control circuitry all responded within expected parameters during the test sequence. It is a confirmation state, not a fault condition.

For homeowners, seeing a 0 displayed after running a test cycle is good news. It means the dishwasher ran through its internal checks and everything passed. You may see this code if a technician recently ran diagnostics on your unit, or if you accidentally initiated the test program yourself. The dishwasher is not reporting a problem, it is reporting the absence of one.

No repair action is needed when code 0 is present. If you reached this code while trying to diagnose an actual performance issue such as poor cleaning, standing water, or unusual noise, the problem may be intermittent or related to usage factors like loading, detergent, or water supply rather than a component fault the control board can detect.

Common causes of 0

  1. 01

    Technician test program completed normally

    Wiring / connection

    A service technician initiated the diagnostic test cycle and the dishwasher passed all checks. Code 0 is the expected result of a clean test run and requires no further action.

  2. 02

    Accidental test program activation by user

    Wiring / connection

    Bosch dishwashers have specific button combinations that trigger the test program. If a user pressed the right sequence unintentionally, the unit runs through diagnostics and displays 0 when finished.

Frequently asked questions about 0

What does error code 0 mean on a Bosch dishwasher?
Code 0 means the dishwasher completed its internal test program and detected no faults. It is a pass result, not an error. No repairs are needed based on this code alone. If you are still experiencing a performance problem, the fault may be intermittent or outside the range of what the test program monitors.
Can I still use my Bosch dishwasher when it shows code 0?
Yes. Code 0 is not a fault code and does not indicate any malfunction. Your dishwasher is fully operational. Simply close the door and run a normal wash cycle as usual.
How do I clear code 0 on my Bosch dishwasher?
Pressing the Start button or opening and closing the door will typically return the display to the normal cycle selection mode. Code 0 clears on its own once you exit the test program by pressing the On/Off button or selecting a wash program.
Why does my Bosch dishwasher show 0 when I try to start it?
You likely triggered the service diagnostic test program by pressing a specific button combination, often holding two buttons simultaneously during power-on. Check your model's service mode entry sequence in the owner manual. Press On/Off to exit the test program, then select your desired wash cycle normally.
How much does it cost to fix error code 0 on a Bosch dishwasher?
Code 0 requires no repair and costs nothing to resolve. It is a confirmation that all tested systems passed diagnostics. If a technician was called and found code 0, the visit cost reflects the service call fee only, typically $75 to $150 depending on your area, not any parts or repair work.
