The Bosch Dishwasher code E07 means: Zeolite (Crystal Dry) fan motor error. The fan that circulates air through the mineral drying chamber is defective, so dishes stay wet even though washing continues.
Difficulty: Moderate — DIY-able with basic tools
Typical repair cost: approximately $220 (parts + labor).
What to do, step by step
- Reset power at the breaker for 30 seconds and run a test cycle
- Descale the dishwasher with Bosch descaler, as limescale can affect the drying system
- Confirm rinse aid is filled and the correct drying program is selected
- If the code persists, contact Bosch service to replace the Zeolite fan motor

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.
