CodeWhat it means
E09Heater fault
The self-check found a fault in the water heating circuit. On most Bosch models the heater is built into the circulation pump, which repair references call the heat pump. The dishwasher may finish with poorly cleaned or wet dishes.
E15
E3100
Water in the base (leak protection)
A float switch in the pan under the dishwasher detected water, so the AquaStop leak protection shut off the water supply. It means water got where it shouldn't, from a leak or overflow inside the machine.
E22
E9240
Filter blocked
The filter at the bottom of the dishwasher is clogged, which limits how well water circulates and drains.
E24
E6103
Not draining
The dishwasher isn't draining properly, often because the drain path is blocked. Water may be left standing in the bottom.
E25
E6102
Drain pump blocked
The drain pump is blocked, or its cover under the filter is loose or missing.
E01Heat pump motor circuit fault
The main control board found a fault in the circuit that runs the heat pump (the circulation pump with its built-in heater).
E14Flow meter or fill problem
The flow meter, which measures incoming water, failed, or there's a problem with the fill system.
E17
E16, E3300, E3400
Water inlet problem
Water isn't flowing into the dishwasher correctly.
E18
E3200
Not enough water
Too little water is coming in, so the water level stays too low. Bosch says the supply should deliver about 10 liters (2.6 gallons) per minute.
E21Circulation (heat) pump blocked
The main wash pump, which also contains the heater on most models, is blocked or isn't turning at the right speed.
E23
E6101
Drain pump fault
The drain pump is blocked, clogged or not working.
E27
E9001
Low supply voltage
The house power reaching the dishwasher is too low for it to run properly.
