Bosch Dryer E01 / E02 error code

Difficulty: Easy · Cost: $0 · Duration: 5m

The E01 or E02 error means your Bosch dryer detected that the lint filter is blocked with lint and fluff. A clogged lint filter restricts airflow through the dryer which reduces drying performance and can cause overheating. Clean the lint filter after every drying cycle. Occasionally rinse the filter under warm running water to remove any fine lint buildup that dry cleaning alone cannot remove.

Common causes

  • Lint and fluff have built up in the lint filter from previous drying cycles
  • The lint filter has not been cleaned regularly

How to fix it

  1. 1

    Remove the lint filter from the dryer

  2. 2

    Peel or brush away all lint and fluff from the filter mesh

  3. 3

    Occasionally rinse the filter under warm running water to remove fine buildup — allow it to dry completely before reinserting

  4. 4

    Reinsert the lint filter securely

  5. 5

    Clean the lint filter after every drying cycle to prevent recurrence
