What a Bosch Dishwasher Technician Deals With
A safety switch in the base detects water that has leaked into the bottom of the unit and activates leakage protection, shown as code E15. Source: Bosch - Dishwasher Error Codes
Bosch dishwashers dry by condensation: a hot final rinse warms the dishes and moisture condenses on the cooler stainless steel tub walls instead of being baked off by a bottom heating element. Source: Bosch - Tips to Maximize Drying
What Bosch Says to Check First
- Dishwasher leaking. When the leak-protection code appears, water has reached the base safety switch, so Bosch says to shut off the water supply before seeking service. Source: Bosch - Dishwasher Error Codes
- Dishwasher not starting. Bosch says to confirm the door is fully latched, turn off the child lock and power-cycle the unit, or if there is no power check the cord, outlet and breaker. Source: Bosch - Dishwasher Troubleshooting
Reading a Bosch Dishwasher Error Code
