The Bosch Dishwasher code E06 means: Door sensor circuit fault. The dishwasher cannot confirm the door is closed and latched, or the heat pump internal heater has a fault on some models.
Difficulty: Moderate — DIY-able with basic tools
Typical repair cost: approximately $160 (parts + labor).
What to do, step by step
- Reset power at the breaker for 30 seconds
- Open and firmly close the door, checking that the latch engages with an audible click
- Inspect the door latch microswitch and its wiring connector
- Replace the door latch assembly if the sensor circuit fault persists

Is the repair worth it?
Before spending money, run the numbers: if the repair quote is more than about 30% of what a new dishwasher costs — especially on an older unit — replacement is usually the smarter call.
