Bosch dishwashers are known for running so quietly you can barely tell they're on, which is great — until something's wrong and it's not obvious. Our technicians know Bosch's German-engineered controls and the specific E-series error codes that point to the real cause.
Bosch is best known in the US for its dishwashers, so that's where most of our Bosch calls come from. Here's what tends to go wrong, and the service page for the full breakdown.
| Appliance | Most common failure | Full repair guide |
|---|---|---|
| Dishwasher | Drainage errors from a clogged filter or drain hose — the single most common Bosch service call. | Dishwasher repair |
| Dishwasher (leak sensor) | The flood-protection float switch triggering after a worn door gasket lets water into the base pan. | Dishwasher repair |
| Compact washer | Drain pump and door lock issues on 24-inch models common in condos and smaller kitchens. | Washer repair |
| Compact dryer | Vent restriction and condenser dryer lint buildup, which needs more frequent cleaning than vented models. | Dryer repair |
| Cooktop | Induction element and touch control failures on Bosch's glass cooktop lineup. | Cooktop repair |
Bosch dishwashers run as quiet as 40 decibels, which is a selling point most of the time — but it also means a failing circulation pump can be easy to miss. The dishwasher may fill and appear to run its cycle while barely moving water at all.
If your Bosch dishwasher's display is showing an E-code, here's a quick reference for what it usually means.
| Code | What it usually means |
|---|---|
| E15 | Flood-protection sensor detected water in the base pan — often a worn door gasket. |
| E24 | Drain error — the most common Bosch code, usually a clogged filter or kinked drain hose. |
| E22 | Filter is blocked and needs cleaning. |
| E09 | Heating element or temperature sensor fault, typically appearing around year 6-8. |
| E01 | Wash motor impeller jammed, often by glass or a small object that slipped past the filter. |
Bosch, Siemens, and Thermador are all made by BSH Group and share the same control board platform, so most E-codes are identical across the three brands.

E24 is Bosch's most common dishwasher error and means the machine couldn't drain properly. Start by cleaning the filter and checking the drain hose for kinks — if those don't clear it, the drain pump likely needs attention.
Bosch dishwashers are built to run extremely quietly, sometimes as low as 40 decibels, which can mask a failing circulation pump. Listening for water spraying against the door during a cycle is one of the few audible clues that it's running normally.
E15 means the flood-protection sensor detected water in the base pan. A one-time trigger can sometimes be cleared by draining the pan, but if it keeps returning, it means there's an active leak that needs to be found and fixed.
Most repairs run between $75 and $500 depending on the part, plus the standard $60–$95 service call fee. Drain-related fixes like E24 tend to be on the lower end.
Yes. Bosch's compact 24-inch washers and dryers are common in newer Colony homes and condos, and we service both alongside their dishwashers and cooktops.
Largely yes. Both brands are made by BSH Group and share the same control board platform, so most error codes and common failure points are the same. Model-specific sub-codes can occasionally differ.
