How to Fix Error Code E03 on Bosch Dryers

Error code E03 on Bosch dryers indicates that the condensation drainage hose is blocked or kinked. Here’s a quick troubleshooting guide to resolve this issue:

1. Turn off the dryer:

  • Unplug the dryer from the power source to ensure safety before starting any troubleshooting.

2. Locate the drainage hose:

  • Find the condensation drainage hose, which is typically located at the back of the dryer.

3. Inspect the hose:

  • Check the entire length of the hose for any kinks or bends that might be obstructing the flow of water.
  • Straighten out any kinks or bends you find.

4. Check for blockages:

  • Disconnect the hose from the dryer and carefully inspect it for any blockages.
  • Use a long, flexible brush or a similar tool to clear out any debris or lint inside the hose.

5. Reattach the hose:

  • Once the hose is clear, securely reattach it to the dryer, ensuring there are no kinks.

6. Test the dryer:

  • Plug the dryer back in and run a short drying cycle to check if the error code reappears.
