Bosch Dishwasher Error Code E07 — Drying Fan Error
What this means
The E07 error indicates that the drying fan in the dishwasher is not running or is running at an incorrect speed. This fan assists in the drying cycle by circulating air through the tub. Common causes include a failed fan motor, blocked fan blades, or a wiring issue.
Alternate codes: E7
Step-by-step fix
3 stepsPower cycle the dishwasher
Turn off the breaker for 5 minutes, restore power, and run a cycle with the drying option to see if the fan activates.
A temporary electrical glitch can sometimes prevent the fan from starting.
Inspect the fan for obstructions
Access the drying fan (usually located at the top or side of the tub) and check for debris blocking the blades.
Small items from the top rack can sometimes fall and block the fan.
Test the fan motor
Unplug the dishwasher and use a multimeter to test the fan motor windings for continuity.
If the motor shows no continuity, it has failed and needs replacement.
When to call a professional
If the fan motor tests fine but the error persists, the control board may not be sending power to the fan — a technician can diagnose.
