What E10 means

E10 shows up and the refrigerator may act strangely. Thermador does not document the code. Two independent repair sources connect it with the power module, the board that manages the main electrical supply; one describes a software hiccup within that module, the other an outright power module failure. Since this board runs the compressor and fans, the code deserves attention.

Usual causes of E10

  • A software glitch in the power module that a reset can clear
  • A burned relay or another electronic part on the power board
  • An unstable supply voltage or a surge
✓ A safe check worth trying

1. Turn the refrigerator off at the breaker. 2. Wait five minutes, then restore power. 3. If E10 reappears, write down what the unit is still doing: cooling, lights, fans. 4. Keep the doors shut and call a technician with those notes.

! Why you should stop here
  • This board switches mains voltage to the compressor and the fans, so testing it safely and choosing the right replacement by FD number is a technician task.
  • Heat from a failing board and live mains voltage make this a poor place for guessing.
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.

E10E10 questions
Is an outage enough to cause E10?

A surge or a shaky supply can upset the power electronics, which is the reason a full five-minute power reset comes first in the process.

Must the board always be replaced?

No. When the code disappears for good after a reset, nothing more may be needed. Only a code that keeps returning justifies a deeper look at the board.

Why does the technician ask for my FD number?

Boards vary between versions of the refrigerator, and the FD number on the rating plate lets them order the exact matching replacement. Bring the model and FD number to speed that up.
