Dishwashers are increasingly taking their place in modern kitchens. And the units of the German brand Bosch - one of the most popular. The technique of this company is considered to be intellectual, as its function includes adjusting the temperature and head of water. The machine itself regulates the washing process time. However, even in spite of the high technological characteristics, it's time to repair the almost perfect unit. Today we will consider the question: is it possible to eliminate the failure independently if the dishwasher is Bosch, and the error is e15.
to the contents ↑Error codes - what are they talking about?
To determine for certain what happens to the dishwasher and what faults it shows, it is necessary to learn how to decode error codes. For each technique, manufacturers use their own codes of operation. For example, in various units the error e15 may indicate completely different malfunctions.
Important! All codes must be specified by the manufacturer in the instructions that are attached to the equipment. Having looked in the manual, you can easily determine the degree of breakdown and follow the instructions described in the instructions to solve the problem yourself.
Sudden device malfunctions can be caused by:
- Failure in the control program.
- Breakage of individual parts.
To accurately determine the cause of a malfunction, use a hardware testing system. Proceed as follows:
- Activate the testing program on the unit.
- When the system is activated, the display shows the error code.
- Find the appropriate code in the instructions for the dishwasher and read the explanation for it.
Each manufacturer uses its error codes, but they all consist of alphabetic and numeric designations. Consider the option: Bosch dishwasher - error e15.

If error e15 is displayed on the dishwasher display, then it is the operation of the "Aquastop" system. This system is used by modern manufacturers to protect the units from leakage.
The "Aquastop" system operates according to a simple algorithm:
- In case of a hose leak or depressurization of the device, all excess water is sent to the pallet.
- After the tank contains 0.2 liters of water, the float floats up and closes the contacts of the microswitch.
- As a result - the safety valve stops receiving electricity, which means that the water supply is suspended until the breakdown is completely eliminated.
- At the same time, pumping out liquid from the base of the dishwasher.
The reasons for the flow of water into the drip tray are as follows:
- Malfunction of the leakage sensor.
- A crack in the nozzle.
- Poor tightening of the nozzles.
- Drain in the drain system( filter, hose or sewer).
- Defective in water spray.
- Leakproof connection of the metal bowl with the main tank.
- Excess foam in the dishwasher can lead to leakage. As a result, the "Autostop" system will work. Always use the detergent in the amount indicated on the packaging.
Important! If the display shows "error e15" in the Bosch dishwasher, first check if the AquaStop function is enabled - it may just not be activated.
If the function "Aquastop" is activated and an error is displayed on the display, then it is not necessary to postpone the repair of the unit, as in time the water will begin to accumulate in the housing. And this can lead to more serious malfunctions. Moreover, in most cases, you can solve the problem yourself.

To eliminate leakage, proceed as follows:
- Disconnect the machine from the mains.
- Tilt the machine 45 degrees, pre-inserting the capacity of the tank.
- Drain the water from the pan.
- Dry the unit within 24 hours.
Of course, if the machine is built into the kitchen set, it is inconvenient to tilt it, but it's better than calling the master and paying for his services.

As soon as you drain the water from the pallet, the aqua-stop sensor turns off and the machine starts operating normally. But if the malfunction is more serious, then the machine will work until the moment the water fills up the sump. To completely eliminate the problem, it is necessary to determine the cause of the leak and to eliminate it.
Clean the filter, change the nozzles and the drain hose
The filter residue of the product can cause an error of e15 on the Bosch dishwasher. To correct the error, proceed as follows:
- Open the car door.
- Remove the dish tray.
- Unscrew the cover on the bottom of the unit.
- Remove the filter. It is a cylinder with a mesh.
- Remove any rests of food, rinse the filter thoroughly with running water.
Important! Together with the cleaning of the filter at the same time, check the sewage drain for a blockage. If necessary, remove the blockage.
To clean or replace the drain hose( if necessary), the machine body must be disassembled. How to disassemble the Bosch machine and clean the hose:
- Unplug the machine from the mains.
- Remove the filter.
- Prepare a place for inspection of the dishwasher and its analysis.
- Remove the left and right housing covers using a screwdriver. Turn the machine over so that the bottom is on top.
- Unscrew the front panel with the feet using an asterisk screwdriver. Bolts holding the panel are on the left and right sides of the machine.
- Unscrew the metal panel located under the front panel.
- Unscrew the two bolts under the metal strip.
- Remove the bolts on the back of the machine.
- Disconnect the rubber bands holding the pump on the bottom of the machine.
- Remove the two plastic plugs on the sides of the unit.
- Remove the door holder.
- Carefully remove the bottom of the case.
So, the car is dismantled and access to the internal parts is open. Next, to correct the error e15 that the Bosch dishwasher shows:
- Find the end of the drain hose.
- Using pliers, carefully remove the hose from the pump.
- Clean the hose from obstructions.
- Inspect the hose carefully for cracks and defects. If necessary, buy a new spare part and a hose clip to attach the hose to the pump.
- Assemble the machine in reverse order.
Important! After dismantling the machine, inspect all the nozzles. They can be badly tightened. In this case, buy new yokes and put them on the nozzles. If the parts are damaged, then purchase new pipes and change them.
We change leakage sensor and sprinkler
Problems with sensor and sprinkler malfunction are extremely rare. If the sensor fails, the element can operate even if there is no water in the pan, and vice versa - it does not work when the water in the pan is there. Therefore, with such a problem, it is necessary to change the sensor.
Important! The sensor is located on the plastic cup on the bottom of the device. Changing parts is very easy, the main thing is to find the original spare part.
Replacement of the defective sprinkler will not be difficult either. In the car sprinklers - two. They are freely sold in the store, since they are removable.
To replace the lower sprinkler and eliminate the error e15 on the Bosch dishwasher, proceed as follows:
- Remove the drying.
- Press the screwdriver holder with the screwdriver, and remove it.
- Insert the new sprinkler until it clicks.
Important! The upper sprinkler is on top of the dryer and changes similarly.
In order to remedy the problem of leakage in the connection of the metal bowl to the main tank, it is necessary:
- Partially disassemble the pallet of the machine and unscrew the screws securing the bowl.
- Then - gently prepare the surface and grease the joint with a sealant, put the bowl in place and assemble the machine.
- After the sealant has dried, you can safely use the machine.
Only high-quality, functional and expensive equipment is produced under the Bosch brand, which means that it is necessary to take care of it. In order for the machine never to give out mistakes, exclude as much as possible all the factors influencing the breakdown: regularly conduct technical inspections, properly operate the equipment and buy only high-quality detergents. Only in this case you will never have to wash the dishes with your hands - for you it will make a household "assistant."
