Bosch dishwasher error codes at a glance

Bosch dishwasher error codes at a glance: these are not manufacturer-name substitutions. Every Bosch dishwasher record maps a real displayed code to its documented meaning, applicable checks and stop condition.

Bosch dishwashers show E-codes such as E15 for the AquaStop leak protection, E24 for drain and E16 for inlet water. A dishwasher showing E15 has tripped its leak safety: tilt it gently to drain the base pan and check for leaks before restarting. E24 usually means a clogged filter or drain hose, which you clear before calling for service.

Troubleshooting a Bosch dishwasher

Clean the filter regularly, use dishwasher salt and rinse aid as the manual directs and run a hot cycle to clear grease. The AquaStop hose contains an electrical valve and is replaced as one part if it fails.

Bosch dishwashers show E codes with numbers, and the ones owners see most are about water: E15 for a leak caught by the AquaStop, and E16, E17 and E3300 for water that cannot enter. A Bosch with AquaStop will stop and drain if it senses a leak, so turn off the supply and check for water in the base pan before you restart it.

Check the supply tap, the inlet hose and its filter screen, and the filter at the bottom of the tub. Use salt and rinse aid if the model has a softener. Faults in the AquaStop valve, the circulation pump or the heater are for a service technician.

Bosch dishwashers are quiet, so a cycle can seem to do nothing; check the floor light or the time display to see whether it is running. Cleaning problems often come down to a clogged filter and low rinse aid, since Bosch machines dry with condensation and need rinse aid for good results. The water softener salt reservoir needs topping up on models that have one, and the AquaStop protects against leaks by stopping the machine.

What does E15 mean on a Bosch dishwasher?

The AquaStop protection has detected water in the base pan; drain the pan, find the leak and restart.

What does E15 mean on a Bosch dishwasher?

E15 means the AquaStop sensed water in the base pan. Turn off the water, check for a leak and dry the pan before restarting.

Why do my Bosch dishes come out wet?

Bosch dishwashers dry by condensation, so they need rinse aid. Fill the rinse aid reservoir and open the door a little at the end of the cycle.
