Switch the breaker off for 30 seconds and back on. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### My Bosch shows E03 but the ice bin is full. What is wrong? Bosch assigns E03 to the dispenser's control panel, not to the ice maker. The ice maker can keep filling the bin while the panel fails to start the dispenser. ### Can water on the Bosch dispenser panel cause E03? Bosch does not name water as a cause. Wipe the panel dry and do a breaker reset; if E03 stays, the interface needs testing. ### Is Bosch E03 the same as E02? No. E02 concerns the ice maker and the ice and water controls; E03 concerns the dispenser panel only. --- **[Read on the site: Bosch E03 on the dispenser panel | IceMakerRepair.center](https://icemakerrepair.center/error-codes/bosch-e03/)** **[Book a visit with IceMakerRepair.center](https://icemakerrepair.center/schedule/)**
