Bosch Refrigerator E02 Error Code

Ice maker or ice and water control fault on Bosch refrigerators.

BoschAll Bosch refrigerator codes

E02
May need a pro

Either the ice maker has failed or the controls for the ice and water system have lost communication with each other. Ice production may stop, and the dispenser may not respond. The fridge and freezer often keep cooling normally.

Compatible models

Bosch's US and Canadian error code pages don't name models; only fridges with an ice maker or water dispenser can show E02.

Also shown as

Bosch lists E02 with this meaning on its North American support pages. European Bosch fridges use their own code set, so confirm the code in the manual for your model. If your display shows E2 without the leading zero, note that AppliancePartsPros reads that as a sensor fault, so confirm it with Bosch support.

Difficulty

Try the basic checks, but the usual fix is a technician's job.

Safety first: unplug the refrigerator (or switch off its breaker) before touching filters, hoses or panels. If you smell burning or gas, or see water near the outlet, stop and call a professional.

How to fix Bosch E02

  1. Reset at the breaker

    Bosch's first step is to switch off the fridge's breaker for 30 seconds, then turn it back on. Watch the display to see whether E02 returns.

  2. Check the water supply

    Make sure the water shutoff to the fridge is open and the supply line behind it isn't kinked. A starved ice maker can't do its job.

When to call a technician

If E02 comes back after the reset, call Bosch customer support at 1-800-944-2904 to book service for the ice maker or its controls.
