Bosch WTW87NH2UC 4.0 cu ft 800 Series Smart Heat Pump E:32 Error Fix: Heat Pump Compressor Fault

The heat pump compressor has failed or is not operating within parameters. Heat pump dryers use a refrigeration compressor instead of a resistive heating element. The compressor may be drawing excessive current, not starting, or running outside normal operating pressures. Check the compressor start relay and overload protector. Listen for clicking sounds (relay cycling). Test compressor windings. This is a sealed system — refrigerant-related repairs require a certified technician.
