Error code on a Thermador dishwasher — is it urgent?
Error codes here usually point to a drain fault, a heating-circuit fault, or a leak-sensor trip. Photograph the display with the code showing before anyone clears it, then switch the dishwasher off and on once. When the code comes back, leave it off: the technician reads the code from the panel. Codes that name a leak, a heating circuit, a flame or an ignition fault, and any code with a smell or water on the floor, move this up; the Triage Profile reads the panel and everything else in the photo.

Symptoms & causes
Error codes here usually point to a drain fault, a heating-circuit fault, or a leak-sensor trip.
The Thermador dishwasher display shows a flashing error code, indicating an internal fault preventing normal operation. This often points to issues with a specific component like a faulty sensor (e.g., NTC temperature sensor, turbidity sensor), a malfunctioning pump, or a problem with the door latch mechanism. Less commonly, the main control board itself could be failing, misinterpreting signals, or experiencing a software glitch.
