Summary

Krups BW801810/87A error code E0 means temperature sensor failure. This guide explains the likely causes, the safest first checks, and when support or service is the better next step.

Fix it fast

  1. Power-reset the appliance once for at least 60 seconds.
  2. If the code is linked to an accessible probe or removable sensor lead, check that it is seated correctly.
  3. Retest once and note when the code reappears.

What E0 means

Temperature sensor failure. On the Krups BW801810/87A, this code relates to the kettle and should be interpreted together with how the appliance is behaving right now.

Common symptoms

  • The kettle displays E0 instead of normal status information.
  • The current cycle, function, or startup sequence may stop, pause, or behave differently than expected.
  • The same code may return after a reset if the underlying issue is still present.

Most likely causes

  • A temperature, level, position, or other sensing component is reading incorrectly or has failed electrically.
  • A wiring or connector issue is stopping the control system from reading the sensor correctly.

Deeper checks before service

  1. Record whether the fault appears at startup, during heating, cooling, filling, or another specific stage.
  2. Check whether the problem started after transport, cleaning, or a power event.
  3. Persistent sensor faults usually need service testing with the correct parts data.

Safety warnings

  • Do not dismantle sealed sensor circuits or internal wiring unless you are qualified.

When to contact support

Book service if E0 returns after one proper reset, because persistent sensor faults usually need diagnosis and replacement parts.

FAQ

Can E0 clear after a reset?
Sometimes a temporary glitch clears after one full reset, but a repeated return usually means the same underlying issue is still there.
Should I keep using the appliance if it works again briefly?
Only if the code stays away and the appliance behaves normally. If the same code comes back, stop and move to service or more targeted diagnosis.
