Error codeE6
ApplianceDishwasher
Quick answer
E6 is a thermal sensor open-circuit code on Bertazzoni dishwashers.
Model compatibility: Bertazzoni reuses codes across series and model years, so E6 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
E6 means the thermal sensor is cut, an open circuit.
The sensor behind E6
To know how warm the water is, the dishwasher relies on a thermal sensor. The code E6, printed E06 in some lists, means the board takes the sensor to be cut, an open circuit.
Manual checks, in order
how warm the incoming water is
the thermistor
the control board (PCB)
The same three lines serve E7, which is the shorted version of the fault.

The factory-mode note
The table also prints “only appeared in the factory mode” by the E6 and E7 rows. How the page is laid out leaves it unclear which rows are meant, and nothing more is said.
What owners can do
No owner step appears in the source apart from the first technician check on the incoming water. Cancel the program, keep the machine assembled and leave the sensor test to a technician. Remember whether the hot water supply seemed normal when the code appeared.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
