BoschAll Bosch refrigerator codes
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.

How to fix Bosch E02
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.
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.
