Bosch Dishwasher E15 — Leakage Protection

What E15 means

Bosch US describes E15 as a safety switch detecting water in the dishwasher base, with leakage protection activated. This identifies a detected condition; it does not establish which part caused it.

What to do next

Turn off the water inflow and contact Bosch support. This is the next step stated in Bosch’s E15 guidance. Use the official E15 support page to reach the manufacturer.

If you cannot identify the water control for your installation, ask support for guidance instead of dismantling the appliance to find it. This page provides no procedure for opening the base, handling electrical connections or moving the dishwasher.

Before contacting support

Have the full model number and the exact displayed code available. Note when the code appeared and what you observed, without opening the appliance to gather more information. Use your model number in the Bosch owner-manual lookup.

Does a reset solve it?

The cited E15 section directs owners to water shutoff and support. It does not provide a timed reset procedure. This guide therefore does not recommend restarting the machine, tilting it, or bypassing the protection as a repair.

Limits of this guide

This page covers Bosch’s US E15 support entry. It does not verify the cause on your dishwasher, certify a replacement part, or establish a repair price or duration. For another market or a different code format, use the appropriate Bosch support service and your exact model’s documentation.
