Bosch Washer Error Code E02 — Water Intake Problem
What this means
The E02 error indicates a problem with water intake. The water supply may be turned off, water pressure too low, the inlet valve faulty, or the water filter in the inlet hose clogged with mineral deposits.
Step-by-step fix
2 stepsCheck water supply valves
Ensure both hot and cold water supply valves behind the washer are fully open.
Valves can sometimes be partially closed after maintenance work.
Clean the inlet hose filter screens
Turn off water supply, disconnect the inlet hoses, and clean the small mesh filter screens at both ends.
Mineral buildup on these screens is one of the most common causes of water intake errors.
When to call a professional
If water supply is fine and screens are clean, the water inlet valve may need replacement.
