Error E15 on the display of the Bosch dishwasher: find the cause and eliminate

Dishwashers, which are now used everywhere, were previously considered as a kind of luxury item that can now be found among any household space, have become one of the wonders of the modern era.

The problem with having a dishwasher lies in the fact that you can become very dependent on them, and when they stop working, dirty dishes will accumulate in the near future, since few people want to wash them by hand.

Most people prefer Bosch products due to the fact that they seem to be worth the money, they last a long time. However, they stop working after a while, but it's actually quite easy to fix.

Most Bosch dishwashers have a complex series of program check errors that can tell you exactly why your dishes are still covered in food debris and the dishwasher refuses to turn on.

If you can figure out which combination of buttons to press, then you can get error codes, then your next task is to figure out what they mean and also figure out what to do.

Diagnostics of the error E15

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

One of the mistakes that usually bothers you the most is E15 or “Check the water”. It is also often called on the forums "the problem when the aquastop worked". In fact, both of these names say the same thing, you need to fix the problem with the water supply.

Do not panic right away, this malfunction can be eliminated by hand. To do this, it is not at all necessary to call a master, who will take half the cost of a new device for his service.

How to fix error E15

If 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 system.

Dishwashers do not like this, that is, they do not like to be stopped during their important work. But don't be alarmed, 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.

When 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 take out the dishwasher and shake it gently from side to side, as the sensor float could simply "stick". Then drain the water from the pan and leave to dry. The problem has been resolved.

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

A clogged Bosch water drain system will take a little more effort to fix. Pull the dishwasher out of the kitchen until you do so you cannot remove the left side cover completely. 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 and put the dishwasher back in its place of deployment and connect it to the mains.

Thus, the problem of the appearance of the error E15 aquastop will be solved with our 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.
