Bosch household appliances are popular among users, but no device is immune from breakage. Therefore, if an error code appears on the Bosch refrigerator, you need to decrypt it. Its value will indicate to you the element that failed. So you can diagnose and repair parts.
Error codes of Bosch refrigerators
You are familiar with the use of the refrigerator, and suddenly you notice symbols on the display. In some models, indicators may flash or a beep sounds. Before embarking on the search for breakage, eliminate the system failure. To do this:
- Disconnect the refrigerator from the network.
- Wait 10-15 minutes.
- Run it again.
Look at the screen. If the code disappeared, then the reason was a system failure. If not, then look for the decryption in the instruction or our table.
| Fault code | What does | mean? How to fix the problem yourself |
| E1 / r1 | Thermal sensor in the refrigerator compartment has failed. | Test the sensor, its contacts and wiring. Pull up connections, replace cable or part. |
| E2 | The evaporator sensor in the refrigerator compartment is faulty. | In this case, the temperature in the chamber may rise, and ice and snow will form on the walls. Run a diagnostic and install a new sensor. |
| E3 / F1 | The temperature sensor in the freezer does not send a signal. | The sensor informs the control board about the temperature in the chamber, after which the compressor is turned off. Therefore, in case of breakage, an element should be replaced immediately. |
| E4 | Error E4 reports that the condenser sensor in the freezer is broken. | Inspection of connections and performance checks. Repairs. |
| PT | Electronic module does not work correctly. One of its elements is defective. | Need module diagnostics, details dialing with a multimeter. A visual inspection will help determine where the burners are. Repair is best left to a specialist. |
| d1 | The sensor on the edge failed. | Testing control module and sensor replacement. |
| Dr | The door opening sensor has been triggered. Such reasons are likely:
| What can be done:
|
| dF | The switch to open and close the door in the freezer does not work. | Open and close the door again. Check switch connections, install new part. During prolonged use, the key is buried or stuck in the socket. Therefore, the module cannot determine whether the door is open or not. |
| EF | The flow sensor or solenoid valve is not functioning. | Diagnose and repair faults. |
| Et | Horizontal switch does not work. | Switch replacement required. |
| EU | The on / off key is stuck. | Examine the key. If it is fused or stuck, install a new item. |
| ES | The ice / water shift lever does not work. | Diagnostics of contacts, wiring and the lever itself. |
| Ea | Freezer Motor does not work. | Need to check the motor for performance. In the absence of signs of "life" is replaced. |
| Eg | Intake valve does not work. | This is probably a valve that lets water into the icemaker. If the latter is provided in your model, then inspect the valve. |
Signs that foreshadow a breakdown or indicate a malfunction in Bosch refrigeration equipment:
- The compressor runs continuously, without interruption to rest. The temperature in the compartment does not reach the norm, ice and snow can form on the walls. Check the rubber seal, the position of the thermostat. The temperature may be too low.
Remember, you do not need to set the relay to maximum, even if the room is hot. If the device is properly selected, it will cope with the load. See if Superfrost mode is enabled. In mechanical models, it is disabled manually: you may have forgotten to turn it off.
- Compressor does not start, while the light in the compartment is on, indicating the presence of voltage in the network. Additionally, clicks can be heard. This means that the start-up relay is trying to start the motor. It can turn on, but it immediately turns off. Conclusion: compressor wear. Urgent replacement.
- During the operation of the unit, noise is heard, although this was not the case before. If other sounds are heard while the refrigerator is running, the cause may be motor wear. Also could loose its attachment, so you need to tighten them. In models with Nou Frost, the fan can make noise if the blades are covered with ice. Then defrosting is required for at least 10 hours.
- Snow is growing on the walls of the department. There can be many reasons: the seal has broken, the thermostat has broken, there are problems with the evaporator or its parts. A complete diagnosis is required.
- The temperature in the chamber is optimal, but the compressor continues to operate. It is possible that the thermal relay has broken, a refrigerant leak has occurred, or the capillary tube is clogged. The most difficult thing is the breakdown of the electronic module.
Did you notice signs of a problem in your Bosch fridge? You can not repair yourself? Then contact the service center. After all, minor repairs will cost less than buying new equipment.
