Quick answer: Bosch dishwasher error code E07: drying fan motor fault. The most common cause is failed Zeolite/CrystalDry fan motor. Try this first — reset power at the breaker for 30 seconds. If that does not clear it, listen for the fan.

What causes the E07 error?

  • Failed Zeolite/CrystalDry fan motor
  • Fan jammed by debris or lint
  • Loose or damaged wiring to the fan
  • Failed fan relay on the control board
  • Moisture damage in the fan housing

How to fix Bosch E07 — step by step

Work through these in order, from simplest and safest first. Stop as soon as the code clears.

  1. Reset power at the breaker for 30 seconds
    Turn off the breaker for 30 seconds, then restore power. This is Bosch's official first step. If E07 returns, the fan motor has genuinely failed.
  2. Listen for the fan
    Start a cycle and listen during the drying phase. Silence where you used to hear a soft fan, or a rattling/grinding sound, confirms the fan is the problem.
  3. Check the fan grille for blockages
    Look at the fan vent area inside the tub for debris or a fallen item blocking the fan. Clear anything you can reach without disassembly.
    Safety warning: Turn off the breaker before reaching into the tub.
  4. Call Bosch support if it persists
    Bosch's official guidance for E07 is to call Bosch Customer Support at 1-800-944-2904 if the reset does not clear it. Fan motor replacement needs a technician.
    Safety warning: The fan assembly is inside the door/base. Leave disassembly to a technician.

  • The dishwasher is under warranty

Frequently asked questions

Can I still wash dishes with E07 showing?

Washing may work, but drying will be poor — expect wet dishes and water spots until the fan is fixed.

What is the Zeolite fan?

It is part of Bosch's CrystalDry system. It circulates hot, dry air through the tub at the end of the cycle for better drying, especially on plastics.

Does E07 appear on all Bosch dishwashers?

No — only on models with the Zeolite/CrystalDry drying system. Other models do not have this fan or code.
