Bosch dishwashers dominate our Bosch call volume, and their E-codes are specific enough to diagnose over the phone. E15 means water in the base pan, E24 means the machine cannot drain, and each points at a short list of parts. This guide covers the Bosch faults we see most and what actually clears them.
Models We Service
We service the full current and recent Bosch lineup, including the Benchmark and 800 Series dishwashers (SHP and SHE series), the 800 Series refrigeration, the Benchmark induction cooktops, and the wall ovens. Benchmark and 800-series dishwashers from the last decade make up most of what we see, and Bosch parts distribution is strong enough that appointment repairs are normal.
How Bosch Repair Works
Bosch dishwashers report faults as E-codes, and because Bosch, Thermador, and Gaggenau share BSH engineering, the same codes appear across the group. The code points to the subsystem; the fix depends on which part in that subsystem has failed.
Each Bosch code below names a specific water fault, with the usual cause and what it takes to clear it:
| Code | Usual Meaning | What It Takes to Clear It |
|---|---|---|
| E15 | Water in the base pan, anti-flood float tripped | Find and stop the leak; dry the pan and reset the float |
| E24 | Drain fault, clogged filter, pump, or hose | Clear the filter and drain hose; replace the pump if needed |
| E22 | Filter or drainage blockage, water not clearing | Clean the filter and check the drain path |
| E09 | Heating element or flow-through heater fault | Replace the heating element or heat pump |
| E01 | Electronic control-board fault | Reset power; replace the control board if it repeats |
Common Problems We Fix
Nearly all Bosch dishwasher work falls into these categories:
- E15 anti-flood trips from leaks under the tub.
- E24 drain faults from clogged pumps and filters.
- E09 heating faults that leave dishes wet.
- E22 filter blockages that hold water.
- Inlet-valve and fill faults.
- Control-board failures after power events.
Maintenance and When to Call
Clear the filter at the tub floor regularly and check that the drain hose has no kink behind the cabinet. Call the moment E15 appears, since water in the base pan will keep the machine locked out until it is resolved. Diagnostic and travel fees, if applicable, are confirmed before the appointment and before repair approval.
