What E6001 means

The wash seems to run without real warmth, then the cycle halts with E6001 on the display. Thermador groups this number with E2030 under one description, a heater problem inside the heat pump. The board decided the heater is not doing its job and refuses to continue with an unreliable heat source. The control would rather stop than carry on, so the display keeps the number until the heater is dealt with.

Usual causes of E6001

  • A burned-out heating part inside the heat pump
✓ A safe check worth trying

1. Switch the dishwasher's breaker off. 2. Leave it off for half a minute. 3. Switch it back on and wait for the display to start up. 4. Start a short cycle and see whether E6001 shows again; if so, stop and call us with the model number from the door edge.

! Why you should stop here
  • A reset that leaves the number on the display tells us the heater cannot be fixed by an owner.
  • The heat pump sits behind panels with line-voltage wiring, so only someone able to isolate it should open it.
Taking off a panel yourself does not by default void a manufacturer warranty, yet it can lead to accidental damage, and some manufacturers attach their own service terms. Read your warranty paperwork, or ask us, before you decide.

E6001E6001 questions
How does E6001 compare with E2030?

Thermador describes the two the same way. Your control platform decides which number you see, while the repair we perform is identical for either one.

The dishes get washed anyway. Why does heat matter?

Hot water lifts grease and heated air dries the load. Without a working heater the cycle may run, but cleaning and drying results suffer, which is why the control raises the alarm.

Does the whole heat pump need replacing?

Not automatically. The number points at the heater inside it, so we test that part first and send you a written price before replacing anything.
