Bosch Dishwasher Error Code E06 – Meaning and Possible Fixes
Bosch Dishwasher Error Code E06
If your Bosch dishwasher displays Error Code E06, it usually indicates that the appliance has detected a problem with the door sensor system. The dishwasher uses sensors to confirm that the door is securely closed before starting or continuing a wash cycle.
If the control system cannot detect the correct door position, the dishwasher may stop the program and display the E06 error code.

If the sensor does not receive the correct signal, the dishwasher may pause the wash cycle and show the E06 error.
