Diagnostics of the error E15

Error E15 on the display of the Bosch dishwasher

The range of classic Bosch dishwashers is somewhat easier to diagnose. Mainly due to clearly marked error indicators on the front panel. Of course, any Bosch dishwasher comes with an instruction indicating-a list of all possible malfunctions and errors that may arise, in addition, there are tips on what to do to eliminate them.

However, most cases indicate that they are not written in a very understandable language for an ordinary dishwasher owner, so there is not as much sense from them as we would like.

Causes of error E15

E15 dishwasher errorThe causes of the error E15 Bosch may be the following factors:

- sudden disconnection from the network;

- malfunction of the water drain sensor when the aquastop was triggered;

- clogged system;

- frayed hoses or incorrect installation.

Of course, the reasons may lie much deeper, but you should start with simple ones, because otherwise you cannot do without an experienced master.

How to fix error E15

network failureIf you have this problem message, there is a chance that your siemens dishwasher has stopped in the middle of a cycle due to a power outage or aquastop operation.

Dishwashers do not like this, that is, they do not like to be stopped during their important work. But do not worry, you can fix this error message.

Important:

Before carrying out any work, make sure that the dishwasher is disconnected from the mains and is not energized.

In order to clear the E15 code in your Bosch dishwasher, you must turn off the dishwasher and unplug the power cord. Wait a few minutes for the program to reset. Then turn on the device and start the program again.

leakage sensor malfunctionWhen the cause of error E15 is a malfunction of the siemens water leakage sensor, you can solve it yourself. You don’t even need any tools for this. Just pull out the dishwasher and shake it gently from side to side, as the sensor float could simply "stick". Then drain the water from the sump and leave to dry. The problem has been resolved.

To prevent water from entering the lower part of the cabinet, you should pay attention to the exact dosage of the detergent, and make sure that dishes with soap residue do not get into the sink. Due to the excessive amount of foam that penetrates the absorbent layer of the aquastop system in the pan, an error message is generated.

blockage of the drain systemA clogged Bosch drain system will take a little more effort to fix. Remove the dishwasher from the kitchen until you do this; you cannot completely remove the left side cover. Use old rags or towels to remove all water from the bottom of the device.

Carefully remove the filter located at the bottom of the dishwasher drum and rinse it under the tap. It could become clogged with food debris or excess detergent. Put everything back together and put the dishwasher back in its place of deployment and connect it to the mains.

Thus, the problem of the occurrence of the E15 aquastop error will be solved with your own hands.

However, if all of the above manipulations did not give a result, then you cannot do without calling a specialist, since the problem may lie in the control board or in something else.
