Bosch Washer - Er:01 Error Code
The washer door is open or not detected as closed.
Meaning
The washer door is open or not detected as closed.
The Bosch Er:01 error code indicates that the washer door is not fully closed or the control module cannot confirm the closed position. Older Bosch washers use a mechanical door interlock system that must engage before the wash cycle begins. If the latch is obstructed, worn, or electrically faulty, the washer displays Er:01 and prevents operation for safety.
