What E0105 Means

On the long four-digit control generation, E0105 is published by Thermador with the same wording it gives the short-code E04: the machine ran its own start-up self-test and came back with a heating-electronics result it will not accept. The number differs only because the board reports problems in the newer four-digit scheme.

Common Causes of E0105

  • A heating circuit part the self-test measured outside its expected range
  • A control board that cannot read the heater circuit it is supposed to supervise
  • A loose or corroded harness plug between the board and the heating circuit

🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try

Nothing here is a homeowner test. Write the code down together with your model and FD number from the door-edge sticker, then call it in — Thermador routes this one straight to support rather than to a checklist.

⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That

  • Everything the self-test looked at sits on the line-voltage side of the board, which is not a place to poke around while the machine is plugged in.
  • Thermador publishes no reset step for this number, so repeated power cycling just delays the measurement a technician would take.

Opening a panel to inspect or repair something yourself doesn't automatically cancel your manufacturer's warranty — but it can risk accidental damage, and some manufacturers do have specific service conditions. Check your product's warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

FAQ

E0105 FAQ

Possibly not — the self-test can reject a reading from the supervising circuit rather than the heating element itself, and only a meter on the board side tells those two apart.

Thermador prints identical descriptions for both, so treat them as one problem reported by two different control generations.
