Bosch appliance repair in Chicago, IL
Most Bosch calls are dishwashers flashing an E-code. Check the code and the recalls below, then call and we’ll connect you with a technician who works on Bosch.
Bosch home appliances in the US are made and supported by BSH Home Appliances, the North American arm of BSH, which has been fully owned by the Bosch Group since 2015. The same company makes Thermador and Gaggenau, so parts and service know-how overlap across all three.
Bosch is best known in Chicago-area kitchens for quiet dishwashers, and most repair calls start with an error code on one of them.
Bosch dishwasher error codes
Newer Bosch dishwashers show four-digit codes; the older two-digit equivalents are shown first. Most drain and filter codes clear after cleaning the filter and checking the drain hose.
| Code | Bosch meaning | Try first |
|---|---|---|
| E15 (E3100) | Water detected in the base; leak protection activated | Turn off power and water; this usually needs a technician |
| E24 (E6103) | Not draining properly; drain filter blocked | Clean the filter; check the drain hose for kinks |
| E25 (E6102) | Drain pump blocked, or its cover loose or missing | Check the pump cover under the filter for debris |
| E22 (E9240) | Dishwasher filter blocked | Remove and rinse the filter |
| E14, E16, E17, E18 | Water supply or fill problem | Confirm the water valve under the sink is fully open |
| E09 | Heat pump internal heater fault | Technician |
| H01 | Not an error: 1-hour delayed start is set | Cancel the delay |
