How to Fix E22 Error (Step-by-Step)

For your safety, the first step is always to unplug the dryer from the power outlet.
Allow the dryer to sit without power for at least 10 minutes. This can sometimes clear temporary electronic glitches.
Perform routine maintenance by cleaning the lint screen thoroughly and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Inspect the entire length of the dryer vent hose to ensure there are no kinks or lint blockages that could affect performance.
Reconnect the power cord to the outlet and test the dryer by starting a cycle.
An immediate return of the E22 error means a component has failed. This repair is not user-serviceable; contact a Bosch professional.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
