The wash seems to favor one rack, and E0106 appears. Thermador documents this code as a problem in the wash arm diverter circuit. The diverter is what sends water between the spray arms, and the control found its drive circuit not responding as expected when it tried to switch. Because the display shows only a number, the way the racks come out is often the best clue we get before a visit.
1. Switch off the dishwasher's breaker. 2. Wait thirty seconds, then restore power. 3. Run a short cycle and check whether the display clears. 4. After the cycle, look at the lower and upper racks and note which one came out cleaner, then pass that along when you call.
Yes. If the diverter cannot move, one spray arm may get most of the water, and dishes in the other rack come out dirtier. We then confirm it on site, with a written price first.
The code is not a safety shutdown, but each cycle may waste detergent and water on poor results. Stopping until it is checked saves rewashing.
Likely some disassembly, since the diverter is inside the wash system. We report our findings and put the price on paper before any parts go in.
Our technician checks it in your home and hands you a written price before touching anything.
