Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from Thermador's own guidance for E22 on its dishwashers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Take out the filter, rinse it under the tap with a little mild soap, and brush off the film.

02

Check that the drain pump cover under the filter is seated and clear.

03

Look behind the machine for a drain hose that is sharply bent.

04

Book a visit if a clean filter and a clear hose do not stop E22.

Still there?

It usually turns into drain and pump repair. Book with the code and the model number.

What not to do

E22 is not a heater or control error; everything Thermador lists for it sits in the water's path out of the tub.

In Thermador's own words

The dishwasher filter is blocked. The filter is the area where food particles get caught and it needs to be cleaned regularly.

Questions
about E22.

Can I clear E22 myself?
Take out the filter, rinse it under the tap with a little mild soap, and brush off the film. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
What is most often behind E22 on a Thermador?
A clogged filter is the most common cause Thermador names. Lift it out, rinse it with a small amount of mild soap, and brush off the greasy layer that forms on it.
Could E22 on my Thermador be an electronics problem?
No, every cause Thermador lists for E22 lies along the drain route: the filter, the drain pump, its cover and the drain hose. When the filter is washed and the hose is open yet E22 keeps showing, arrange a visit.
