E12 – Dishwasher error code

Thermador Dishwasher error code

The Dishwasher display is showing E12. That usually means the electronic control noticed something outside the normal pattern—ignition, temperature, door state, or a sensor check—depending on your exact model and software version.

Cooktops and rangetops may show a code even when only one zone misbehaves—list which burner or zone failed and whether the issue is constant or intermittent.

When you are ready for a visit, call 844-683-0648 or schedule appointment on this site. Thermador Support will help you book the same dispatch desk and set expectations for your Dishwasher.

FAQ

Thermador service—answered clearly

Process, pricing, and what to expect during your visit.

If water remains, the door will not latch, or you see leaks, pause cycles and call. Note the code and whether drain or fill sounds abnormal—repeated runs can worsen water damage.

On some models UP relates to update or firmware state. Check the manual for whether to wait one cycle; if it persists or blocks washing, schedule service with model and serial.
