What E02
actually means.
Bosch gives E02 two possible meanings on a refrigerator. Either the icemaker has failed, or the controls for the ice and water system have lost communication with each other. It concerns ice and water, and the page says nothing about cooling.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Bosch's own guidance for E02 on its refrigerators. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Switch off the refrigerator's breaker for 30 seconds, then switch it back on.
Watch whether E02 returns and whether the icemaker starts working again.
If it comes back, book a visit and have the model number ready.
What not to do
It is not a cooling or temperature code. Bosch lists it for the icemaker and the ice and water controls only.
