Bosch Dishwasher Error Code 0010

Error code 0010 on a Bosch dishwasher indicates an inverter fault caused by a failure in the analog-to-digital converter circuit inside the inverter module. The inverter controls the wash pump motor, and the ADC is responsible for reading motor feedback signals. When the ADC fails or produces invalid data, the dishwasher stops the cycle and displays this code. Replacing the inverter is the recommended fix.

A reset may temporarily clear the code, but it will almost certainly return once the dishwasher starts a cycle and the inverter attempts to sample motor signals again. The underlying ADC hardware failure inside the inverter is not resolved by a power cycle or control reset. A permanent fix requires inverter replacement.

Repair costs depend on the specific dishwasher model and whether you hire a technician or do the work yourself. Parts costs for a replacement inverter module typically fall in the range of $80 to $200, while professional labor can add another $100 to $200 depending on your location and the service provider. Total repair costs generally range from $150 to $400 when using a technician.

A confident DIYer with basic appliance repair skills can replace the inverter module, which is the required repair for this error. The job involves disconnecting power, accessing the inverter, unplugging the wiring harness connectors, and installing the new unit. However, working around electrical components carries risk, so those unfamiliar with appliance repair should consider hiring a qualified technician.

The dishwasher will typically stop operation when this error is active, preventing the wash cycle from completing. You should not attempt to bypass or force operation with a known inverter fault, as a failed inverter can affect motor control in unpredictable ways. Stop using the appliance and arrange for repair before running additional cycles.
