Bosch Washer Error Code Er:01

Er:01 means the washer's control system has detected that the door is not closed or the door lock has not engaged. The machine will not begin a cycle until it receives a confirmed signal from the door lock interlock. Check that the door is firmly latched and that nothing is blocking the door seal. If the error continues after confirming the door is shut, the door lock assembly may be faulty.

No. The Er:01 code is a safety interlock and the washer will not operate while it is active. This prevents the machine from filling with water while the door is unsecured, which could cause flooding or injury. Do not attempt to bypass the door lock. Resolve the underlying cause before running a cycle.

If the fix is simply closing the door properly or clearing a blocked gasket, there is no parts cost. Replacing a door lock assembly typically costs between $30 and $90 for the part, with professional labor adding $80 to $150 depending on your location. Replacing a cracked door latch strike is generally less expensive than replacing the full lock assembly.

Start by pressing the door firmly closed until you hear a click, and remove any laundry caught in the door gasket. If the error clears, the issue was simply an unlatched door. If it persists, inspect the door latch strike for cracks and the door lock assembly for wear or damage. A faulty door lock assembly will need to be replaced to resolve the error permanently.

A reset may temporarily clear the display, but the error will return immediately if the door lock is not engaging properly. To reset, turn the cycle selector to the off position, wait a minute, and restart. If Er:01 reappears as soon as you try to start a cycle, the door latch or lock assembly needs to be inspected and likely replaced.
