How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power at the breaker before any disassembly.
- Extended power reset: Disconnect power for at least 30 minutes to fully discharge the electronics, then restore power.
- Check for other codes: After reset, note any additional error codes that appear, as they may point to a specific subsystem.
- Visual inspection: With power OFF, inspect the main control board for obvious damage such as burnt components or cracked solder joints.
Important: E050 generally indicates a serious internal fault. Control board replacement and firmware programming should be performed by a qualified Gaggenau service technician.
