Bosch Dishwasher error code
Bosch Dishwasher Error E80-00
Bosch dishwasher E80-00 / E8000 door sensor circuit fault
Bosch lists E8000 (shown as E80-00 on many models) as a door sensor circuit fault or error — not a generic leak, flow, or control-board purchase fault.
Try these first
Start here before buying a part or taking the appliance apart.
- 1Confirm the code format on your display
Bosch owner support groups this fault under E8000. Many panels show it as E80-00. Write down the exact characters before troubleshooting.
- 2Shut off power at the breaker
Switch the dishwasher off and reset power at the circuit breaker. Bosch specifies a 30-second breaker reset for this fault family.
- 3Check the door closes cleanly
Make sure nothing blocks the door, the racks are fully seated, and the door latches without force before you restore power.
A quick explanation
What does E80-00 mean?
The dishwasher stopped because the control system detected a problem in the door-sensor circuit. Bosch’s supported first step is a short breaker power reset, then service if the code returns.
The answer you came for
How to fix Bosch dishwasher error E80-00
Use Bosch’s supported breaker reset first. Do not start with base-pan leak checks or universal control-module part orders for E80-00.
- 1
E80-00 or E8000 appears — perform the Bosch reset
Switch power off at the circuit breaker for 30 seconds, then restore power. Relatch the door firmly and run a short rinse programme.
What you should see: The code clears and the cycle continues normally. - 2
Door alignment check after the reset
If the code returns immediately, confirm the door closes squarely and that dishes or racks are not preventing the latch from engaging.
What you should see: The door sensor circuit sees a proper closed-door condition. - 3
Do not treat E80-00 as a leak code
Bosch uses separate owner-support entries for leakage-protection faults. E8000 is documented as a door sensor circuit fault/error, so base-pan leak hunts or inlet-flow fixes are not the primary guidance for this code.
What you should see: You avoid unrelated hose, filter, or board-part work. - 4
Code returns after the reset
When the 30-second breaker reset does not clear E80-00, Bosch directs owners to contact Bosch Customer Support for service. Door-sensor and control diagnosis is not a universal DIY sensor or board swap.
What you should see: You arrange qualified service instead of ordering an unverified module. - 5
When to stop and call Bosch service
Stop if the code repeats after the documented reset, the door will not latch normally, or you see burned wiring or repeated electrical trips.
What you should see: You avoid repeated guess-and-check part orders for a circuit fault.
What may be causing it?
- Temporary door-sensor circuit fault cleared by a breaker reset
- Door not fully closed or obstructed when the cycle starts
- Door sensor or wiring issue requiring Bosch diagnosis
- Main control-board fault detected through the door-sensor circuit
These are possibilities to investigate, not proof that one part has failed.
