How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before accessing the humidity sensor or module.

Steps to address E13:

  • Identify humidity components: On Bosch models with humidity control, the sensor is usually located in the upper interior area, and a small humidification module may be present.
  • Inspect sensor: Check for visible damage, corrosion, or moisture accumulation on the sensor.
  • Check wiring: Ensure the sensor harness is securely connected to the control board.
  • Replace sensor or module: If the sensor is faulty or the humidification module does not operate when commanded, replace the defective component with the correct Bosch part.
  • Control board check: If new components do not resolve E13, the main control board may be at fault and should be replaced by a professional.
