What the E0 error code actually means
E0 is not actually an error at all. It simply means your dishwasher's computer has checked its memory and found no problems recorded. This is a good sign, indicating your dishwasher is running normally with no faults logged.

Questions people ask about E0
What does E0 mean on a Bosch dishwasher?
E0 means no error codes are stored in the control board's memory. It is not a fault. If you accessed the diagnostic or error recall mode and saw E0, the dishwasher has not logged any problems with its monitored systems. You can exit diagnostic mode and use the appliance normally.
Why does my Bosch dishwasher show E0 after I cleared an error code?
After a fault code is cleared through a diagnostic reset or power cycle, the board resets its stored error memory to E0. This confirms the reset was successful. If the original problem returns, a new fault code will be logged. Run the dishwasher through a full cycle and check for any recurring codes if symptoms persist.
Does E0 on a Bosch dishwasher require any repair or cost anything to fix?
No repair is needed for E0 and there is no associated repair cost. It is a status indicator, not a fault. If a technician is charging to diagnose E0 as the only finding, the machine had no stored faults at the time of inspection. The only expense would be if a service call was made before reading the code, which is standard diagnostic labor.
Can I still use my Bosch dishwasher when it shows E0?
Yes. E0 is not a malfunction indicator. It confirms the absence of stored faults, so there is no reason to stop using the dishwasher based on this code alone. If the machine is displaying E0 but still behaving abnormally, the underlying issue may be mechanical or intermittent and has not yet been captured as a fault code.
How do I exit diagnostic mode after seeing E0 on a Bosch dishwasher?
Press and hold the Start button or the On/Off button, depending on the model, to exit diagnostic mode. On many Bosch models, opening and closing the door or pressing Cancel/Drain will also exit the mode. Refer to your specific model's service manual if button combinations vary, as Bosch uses several control panel layouts across its dishwasher lineup.
