Questions
about E:2060.

Can I clear E:2060 myself?
Descale the dishwasher. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
Does Gaggenau E:2060 mean I need a new heater?
No, the manual treats it as scale on the heating element and gives descaling as the fix. Using the water softening system, on models that have one, helps prevent it.
What if Gaggenau E:2060 returns after descaling?
Book a visit if descaling does not stop the code. Other Gaggenau models may use different numbers for this.
