What E22
actually means.
E22 on a Thermador most often comes from a clogged filter. The same entry also names a blocked drain pump, a loose pump cover and a bent drain hose.

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.
Take out the filter, rinse it under the tap with a little mild soap, and brush off the film.
Check that the drain pump cover under the filter is seated and clear.
Look behind the machine for a drain hose that is sharply bent.
Book a visit if a clean filter and a clear hose do not stop E22.
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.

Thermador dishwasher repair
Built-in dishwasher
The standard 24-inch machine under the counter, and the one nearly every American kitchen has.
Panel-ready dishwasher
Hidden behind a cabinet door, controlled from the top edge, and repaired with the panel's weight in mind.
Compact dishwasher
The 18-inch and ADA-height machines for small kitchens, where the tight tub changes both loading and repairs.
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.
Every code on this site is taken from the manufacturer's documentation, never from a forum or a parts listing. Thermador models with two-digit E codes; the four-digit version with the same list of checks is E9240.
