What a Bosch Dishwasher Technician Deals With
Installation calls for a high loop in the drain hose so debris cannot flush back into the dishwasher, and a missing high loop is one listed cause of a not-draining code. Source: Bosch - Dishwasher Owner's Manual (SHV78B73UC)
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
What Bosch Says to Check First
- Dishwasher not filling. Bosch says to check the water supply first, noting that the inlet valve, float or door switch can also keep the unit from drawing water. Source: Bosch - Dishwasher Troubleshooting
- 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
What Bosch Dishwasher Codes Mean
| Code | What it means |
|---|---|
| E09 | Fault with the heater inside the heat pump. Source: Bosch - Dishwasher Error Codes |

| E24 | Drain problem; check the drain pump cover, a kinked drain hose, and a clogged air gap or drain hose. Source: Bosch - Dishwasher Error Codes |
