What E or D
actually means.
Bosch's US refrigeration page covers any error message beginning with E or D in a single entry. It gives no meaning for the individual messages, only one instruction: power the refrigerator down fully and see whether the message comes back. The wait is 5 minutes, longer than the 30 seconds Bosch gives for E02 and E03. If the message returns, the next step is Bosch Customer Support.

Switch the appliance off.
Unplug it or turn off its breaker, then wait 5 minutes.
Reconnect the power and see whether the message is still on the display.
If it is, book a visit and give us the exact message.
What not to do
