Error code 160

[APman]

Got hit with a Bosch error code 160 the other night and it brought my dishwasher to a standstill right in the middle of a cycle. First time it's ever thrown that code, and of course it happens when the machine was loaded full after a big dinner. I gave it a reset and tried again, but the code popped right back up.
I did a quick search and saw mixed answers because I'm getting it's sensor related and on other hand I'm getting a control board issue. Figured I'd ask here, anyone run into code 160 on their Bosch?

uhhhh Error 160 is rare... but it isn't a sensor issue in your dishwasher. It's usually an oven/range code related to a control board that needs reprogramming or replacing, and most DIY sources say you hit that by changing the board. So in your case, sounds like you might want to hit reset again, then check for communication faults if it's a dishwasher you're talking about. This code doesn't show up in Bosch's dishwasher lists... strange.

Code 160 is a heating circuit issue ,most likely and either the heating element, the temp sensor (NTC), or the relay on the control board

Most definitely the heating element, how old is the unit?
