There is limescale build-up in the heat pump.

Check local water hardness and whether descaling has ever been done.

Bosch dishwasher code E14, E3000

There is a flow meter failure or an issue with water flowing into the dishwasher or the filling system.

Confirm the supply tap is fully open and the inlet hose is not kinked.

Restore full flow; arrange service if the code persists with good supply.

Bosch dishwasher code E15, E3100

The safety switch has detected water in the base of the dishwasher. The leakage protection system has been activated.

Do not keep running the dishwasher — this is a real leak indication.

Bosch's leakage protection has tripped; arrange service rather than resetting repeatedly.

Bosch dishwasher code E18, E3200

There is an issue with water flow into the dishwasher. The water level is too low, or water is not being pumped correctly.

Confirm the tap is fully open and the filter is clean.

Clear any restriction; arrange service if it persists.

The heat pump is blocked.

Check the filter and sump for debris.

Clear the blockage as the manual directs; arrange service if the code returns.

Remove and inspect the filter assembly.

Clean the filter thoroughly and refit it correctly.

Check the sump and drain path for debris.

Clear the blockage; arrange service if the pump is faulty.

Bosch dishwasher code E24, E6103

The dishwasher is not draining properly due to the drain filter being blocked.

Remove and clean the drain filter.

Clear the filter and confirm the drain hose is not kinked.

Check the drain pump cover is present and correctly seated.

Refit the cover correctly; clear any blockage.

The house power supply to the unit is too low.

Check whether other appliances on the circuit are affected.

Have an electrician check the supply; this is a household power issue, not a dishwasher fault.

Bosch dishwasher code E6160

PowerControl (Controlled Lower Spray Arm) reference position not found.

Check the lower spray arm turns freely and nothing is blocking it.

Clear the obstruction; arrange service if the code returns.
