Bosch Dishwasher Lines and Features
How Bosch Dishwashers Are Built

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 odor. Bosch blames food particles trapped in the filter, so wash the filter, clear the spray arms, and run a cleaner and descaler periodically. Source: Bosch - Dishwasher Smells
- Dishwasher not drying. Bosch recommends leaving space between items so water drains off, adding rinse aid, and using the Sanitize or Extra Dry option if the model has one. Source: Bosch - Dishes Wet After Cycle
