Thank you for the great tip on how to remove the pump cover with the back end of the spoon. (I was not sure how that would come out, if at all, and probably would have broken the little part.’ Unfortunately there was no apparent piece or something in the pump or the filter. The pump would run (I lift up the float valve in the rear of the dishwasher). Apparently the discharge hose was blocked, or at least partially blocked, as the level would go down, but so slowly so as to trigger Code 24. I really did not want to pull out the dishwasher and hose, since it runs through a couple of cupboards to the sink. So I brought an airline from my portable compressor, disconnected the hose at the P trap by the sink. Removed the filter in the dishwasher and blew air through the hose to the dishwasher. This worked like a charm. It dislodged the accumulated macerated material in the line. I put a couple of bowls of water in the dishwasher, started the pump by lifting the float and pumped the water, debris and all, into a pail I had handy. Bingo! Problem fixed. Reassembled and cleaned up. Works great again.
Mine was blocked at the garbage disposal. If that was not the issue, I would have done the same as you.
Thank you for your comment.. after reading this I did it and it worked.. after trying everything else previously
Omg I have to reread everything you wrote. I’m literally crying as I’ve watched and read everything. I HABE a family of 9 and it’s not working. It’s making like water noises but nothing is going on and the lights on the top are not working only saying one thing and I can’t think of it now.
Before calling a repairman, I tried this youTube. Then the dishwasher started to fill up with water,
Thank you very much!
I love the incredibly technical tools used here, sponge and spoon! We watched other videos before finding this one and were galvanised to start unscrewing things, which necessitated a special trip (during lockdown!) to collect special dishwasher screwdriver bits because they don't use normal screws like everything else - but when we finally did that, we scratched our heads because the screws didn't actually appear to be DOING anything and there was no panel to remove! So we wondered how on earth to access stuff. Video watched, small piece of porcelain removed from impeller cavity, but possibly there's still more in there (that is an incredibly difficult place to access!) as it's still blocked, or maybe the impeller is damaged... Will try again tomorrow!
Hope you got it fixed. You might have some luck if you get under the dishwasher and remove the hose, you can get at the other side of the impeller at the bottom. Make sure to have something to catch the water.
Great video. I got the Watertap error and ended up removing what I think was the tine of a plastic fork from the impeller. So satisfying to here it working again!
Great video, saved me from calling a tech out. There was a soda can pop tab blocking the impeller.
I needed a pair of small needle nose pliers to retrieve the piece of glass out. First fix it video on any appliance I ever watched that addressed the exact problem I was having and saved me a bundle on a repair call!!! I knew it had to do with the pump, pulled out the bottom panel & filter earlier, hard reset it and still wouldn't run. THANK YOU! Fixed in 5!!
We're really glad to hear this helped!
Thank you so much for this video! I couldn't find my manual, so I had to resort to Google and TH-cam. It came down to a small piece of china that somehow made it through the filter down into that itty bitty space in the pump and was preventing that tiny wheel from turning. Such a relief I don't have to pay hundreds of dollars to fix it.
Fantastic video. Thank you so very much. 16 Pumpkin Seeds in there??? How??? I will be talking to my Granddaughter & my Husband, hmmmm. So thrilled I could fix this. I live out of the city & would have to pay $$$ for a repair man. Luv to repair my own appliances. Thank you for making this so easy.
the fact that the pump cover wasnt "clicking" properly in place my whole issue, thanks so much!
You're welcome, glad we could assist.
Thanks, James.
This works. Other videos send you on a wild goose chase for irrelevant, highly technical faults. One had step 1 as replacing the main board!
Thank you!!!! My dishwasher is back to working perfectly!!! Magic spoon and great instructions!!
Finally, a video that shows exactly my Bosch model and how to get that stupid little white part out of the drain! Thank you, thank you!!!
I went through checking pump and hoses of the dishwasher only to realize the problem was at the connection to the drain pipe under the sink. That narrow connection had some gunk in it! Dishwasher was fine. 1) Pull up on the float inside the dishwasher, if the pump starts spinning and you see water moving, it's probably fine. 2) disconnect drain hose from drain pipe and place end into a bucket. 3) Pull up float again and see if the dishwasher drains. 4) if all is well with the dishwasher, check your drain pipe.
Having a non functional dish machine during the #lockdown was scary with four people in the house. Dishwasher wouldn't drain and everything seemed fine. I found this video pried the impeller cover off and sure enough there was a long skinny piece of hard plastic that had been blocking it.
Thank you for making this video it saved me probably several family arguments about the dishes.
I'm sorry I don't mean to be a douche...but "scary"?! Bahhaha I grew up in a house with no dishwasher for 18 yrs of my life before I went off the college. Even then I didn't have one until I bought an expensive Bosch and had it installed in the first house I bought when I was 34! Smdh lol I think that EVERYONE should have to experience washing dishes by hand at some point in their lives...it builds character, humility, and seriously it isn't THAT bad lol. Some people literally do it as a type of mental therapy...just saying. More importantly having lived with my priveledge assed husband for almost 8 yrs, that never had to do so...in his life...I see the importance of it even more.
I literally had to hide the extra 30 or so crappy ass forks that he bought in order to continue to have them in between dishwasher cycles...unbelievable.
Glad you got yours figured out/fixed...but 🤷🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Thanks for the video, turns out two coffee beans an an unpopped corn kernel are the perfect size to plug up your dishwasher and screw it up.
What am I doing with my life. My dishwasher is working fine #lockdown
Listening to this man's wonderful voice. Need him on more instructional videos
Wish mine was xD
This is good advice, and it fixed my problem. Cheers! I was just wondering how something as a plastic ring can get that far in the washer? Looking at the filtering system, Please explain. Thanks.
Man I fixed my dishwasher thanks to your super easy guidance! Thank you ❤
Hi, I am pleased to hear that you were able to resolve this. If we can help with anything further, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thanks, Mandy.
Thank you. This has worked. Saved me some $$$ for repair. Hair was blocking the drain pump. Thank you!!!
Who's washing their hair in the dishwasher?
I watched a few different videos, but this one solved it for me. Just a little chicken bone blocking the impeller. Thanks for the info!
Oh my gosh...I had my whole machine out and turned over!! Thank you!
Thanks you so much ! I was at my grandmas house for three days and this happends to me I was so scared cause she is very strict at me and finally this worked💗
This was hugely helpful, thanks!
My Bosch dishwasher appeared to be draining completely but giving me the E24 code. Ive cleaned the basket before but didn’t know I could access the gunk out of the motor. This seems to have worked. Thanks!
Many thanks for posting up the video guide - problem all fixed !
My 2004 Bosch doesn't have the pump cover shown in the video. Just a hole when you take the filter out.
Anyway - BIG TIP - I used my wet and dry vacuum to empty the water, then had a good suck out of the filter and pump housing then, just in case the pipework was greased up, I poured some drain cleaner in with some water and gave it an immediate wash through on the rinse programme with newly cleaned filters in place. PROBLEM SOLVED! I then gave the empty machine a hot wash with a dishwasher tab. When I emptied the wet and dry tank I found a fruit pip, a little bit of foil and quite a lot of fine grit.
Worked for me, just a bit of sweetcorn in the pump - how did that get there, and how could something that small and soft stop it working? Great video though, very clear.
Woohoo! Thank you for the video. I removed a piece of glass that was stuck in there and now the dishwasher is back to working. 🥳
Hi, we're really happy to learn this video has been of assistance with your dishwasher issues. If you ever have any further problems, please do not hesitate to contact us directly on social media @BoschHomeUK.
Huge help - fixed my issue.
Simple but VITAL preventative action:
Remove all bits of debris before loading your dishes.
Bosch makes very quiet dishwashers that require a quieter and therefore less powerful waste grinder. In order to make it thru the pump, any waste particles must be smaller than what you may have gotten used to with your previous machine. It's a simple trade-off: a little extra attention from consumers for a SUPER quiet machine.
This video instruction is clear and informative, and our machine now runs perfectly again!
Thanks for another great product, Bosch.
If I could like this more than once I would!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️thank you for saving us an expensive service call!
Great instructions. I was surprised at the gunk on the web screen cover. I used liquid detergent and held under hot water for a good rinse, it got rid of the buildup.
We should be hugely disappointed at these machines. Can see them out for special pickup through the neighborhood. What is going on?
Seems that since LED display, the machines are not lasting. We had portable dishwashers 12 and 15 years before a built in. It's heartbreaking and expensive, we deserve better. It's not high tech, dishwashers have been around for 60+ years.
Pop off the stainless steel front before discard. Use as a back splash, or countertop. Salvage something at least.
Thank you so much for your help! I was able to fix my daughter's dishwasher without calling for a service person.
Thanks! Saved me calling out an engineer. Problem fixed.
Thanks it was really helpful
🎄Great Video - Christmas Day - blocked dishwasher - oh NO! But all sorted in a few minutes Using the spoon was a great tip. Very happy. Thank you😀👍
Drain impeller clogs love the holidays apparently. 😂
Brilliant. Thanks a bunch. Nicely structured and easy to follow. Cheers

This video is great and easy to follow. .
thanks it was very helpful. save a money
Great so far. I just can't see how to replace the pump cover
This happens twice a year with mine. Cleaning it doesn’t help. I think it’s a way for Bosch to keep their engineers at work.
Planned obsolescence. Our fake ass economy.
To F'in true!!!! 🤬 Between shit like this and being screwed over by HVAC people I'm losing my freaking MIND!
German appliances suck!
Very helpful! Fixed issue myself :)
Very good and informative video . Worked for me . E24 error
Perfect: the spoon is the key tool!
Without sponge nothing.. 2 minute of video is Sponge drinking water...
Finally a simple but completely effective fix…Thank you for posting this video
Totally agree...without this simple video, I'd probably have booked a Bosch repair service. Followed the video and there was a piece of plastic from a tupperware tub blocking the impeller.
Hi does anyone know if you can use crystal salts to clean dishwashers.
Great information! Thx for posting!
Hi, great to hear this was useful! Thanks for letting us know - Charlotte.
thank you very much! I was a hero with my broken dishwasher
Alessandro Fantini dishwasher is not meant to clean your pets
Thank you very much for the video instruction 😃Godbless
Uh, oh. it worked once and then we had the same problem again. I had trouble getting the sump cover back on tightly. Can you help me with that?
Note that only the small catch has to fit in. There will still be a gap behind the white thing you hook the spoon behind. The catch fits in with a click.
An espresso mug works better than a sponge😁
no silly XD
Thanks for doing this 👍
I found no objects in the very small space which you can access when you remove the pump cover. You say to make sure the "pump impeller can move freely." What is the pump impeller and how is it supposed to move?
If you stick your finger under you should be able to feel a little fan sort of squishy thing. This needs to be able to spin to get water out. If something is jamming it then that object needs to come out
The Bosch seems to have a very sensitive pump. This is the second time this has happened. The first time I had the tech troubleshoot. I saw enough to be dangerous. Your video, which was well done, led me through the process. I found a cherry stem and a touch of lettuce next to the pump. Not sure how it made it through the filter.
I wish they made it so you could get full access to the impeller by removing a cover plate or something.
@@chaos.corner if they did that then they couldn't force you to buy replacement machines for something that should last longer then we are freaking even alive!!🤷🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤬
That's was great information 👍thank
Thank you kind sir, I would have never expected to find colorful plastic MINECRAFT STICKERS inside the filter :/
Hey guys! You can also use your favourite cup.:)
Thank you!! This was so helpful, dishwasher is up and going again.
Thank you
This helped me out perfect! Thanks
just removed 2 elastic bands from the propeller, fired it up and am now hoping it runs properly. sitting and waiting...........update.....it worked! thanks for the video!
Amazing! Thank you!
My bosch has been running without errors but when it's done there's still a bit of water in the bottom. Tried this to see if it'd solve it but there wasn't anything in the impeller.
Hi, there will be residual water in the filter area. However if there is water in the bottom as shown in the video this could be an issue. I would recommend to check the outlet and inlet pipes and make sure they are not blocked or kinked and positioned correctly. Thanks Charlotte.
Mine pumps out but won't refill...
Fixed it....had a small bit glass in the filter.. took it out and it worked
Hi Max,
We are sorry to learn of this, we would advise to check your inlet pipe, and water supply is connected correctly.
If this all seems fine, you may wish to book an engineer attendance online here: www.siemens-home.bsh-group.com/uk/customer-service/repair
Alternatively, you can call us direct on 0344 892 8999 option 1 for repair.
Thank you - Emma
Why has Bosch/Siemens come up with a fix for this problem? How do objects large enough to block the impeller or block air gap get through the filter? Mine is just over 1 year old and have had 3 E24 to fix already.
Hi, thank you for getting in touch and we're sorry to learn of the issues you have experienced. Unfortunately the size of the filter is required to allow the adequate amount of water through. Cleaning the filter area is something we advise for general maintenance for our dishwashers. If you continue to experience issues, please do contact us on 03448928999.
Many many thanks!! I'd have thrown out my dishwasher, if I didn't watch your video
Praise god it worked.
Thanks!! Saved $$$
Thanks!!! helped fix it. Clear instructions really useful.
Great, we're happy this helps!
Thanks Bosch!
THANK YOU!!!!
Great - just fixed the dishwasher - on my own with the help of youtube!
Hi Does anyone know should there be any water left in the filter sump when the cycle is finished . ?
Good morning, a little water can remain and this is normal. If it starts to overflow, then please remove the water and follow this guide to clean out.
@@BoschHomeUKandIreland Cheers !
CAN ANYBODY EXPLAIN TO ME HOW SUCH SIZE DEBRIS CAN FIND ITS WAY THROUGH THAT PLATE STRAINER PLUS THE CYLINDRICAL STRAINER TO THE PUMP IMPELLER AS IF THERE WERE NO STRAINER AT ALL.
Thanks so much!
Excellent. 😎
Is it normal to have water 2 inch deep in the filter area ?
Minimal water in the filter/pump area is normal, as long as its draining whilst a cycle is running.
Thanks, James.
Sorted, thanks alot
In case anyone is searching and this has not helped them, my issue turned out to be a grease plug in the garbage disposal inlet. I removed the hose and poked it in with my finger. I have to think the grease came in via the sink but not sure.
I have unblocked the pump before (pistachio shells) but this video would have made it easier as I didn't know that piece could be removed.
Thanks mates sounds a lot better now so hope it’s working lol
First run of my new $1100 Bosch dishwasher and i get error 24 and a puddle of water inside only 15 minutes into the wash. Not buying another Bosch. My last dishwasher was an old Siemens and only had a knob to select the cycle but NEVER ran into this issue in 9 years.
bosch is siemens genius
I thought my pump went out, but it turns out the rinse aid switch just wasn't clicked in. The model won't pump unless it is. lol
Which one is the rinse aid switch?
@@jyothishsudhakaran3605 It's just the dial that you pour the stuff in for polish. Could also just be clogged sprayer arms messing it up.
@@tomjones4105 thanks a lot man!
Help please!!! I tried this but afterwards my dishwasher does not turn on at all. I triple checked that I put everything back exactly the way it should be. I heard the click but still nothing. It is as if the dishwasher is dead.
Hi, if your appliance has no power and all the checks have been completed as advised in the user manual, an engineer visit would be required.
Thanks.
Sir.i am using the finish quantum tablet.but i am not having good wash quality.my achine is 2 year old
Hi, thank you for your message. I am sorry to hear you're having difficulties with the wash. If the filters and pump have been checked and cleaned, we would recommend cleaning the spray arms and also putting through a dishwasher cleaner and descaler.
Thanks, James.
@@BoschHomeUKandIreland i have used both descaling powder and liquid for machine wash.but still not washing.we stay in india.
Hi, thanks for your message. Apologies, if everything suggested has already been done, I would recommend discussing your issue with your local Customer Service Team.
Top tip: use a turkey baster to suck out the water
Hygiene alert!
Even bigger tip - Use a wet & dry vacuum! Karcher or Vax for example
What a hero
my diswasher is filling up with water after the cycle from drain area what could be a problem?
Hi, do you have the en-r number please?~Donna
@@BoschHomeUKandIreland SPS 53M58EU/17 Thank you!
Firstly we would recommend you follow the video above and check your filter and pump. If this does not resolve the issue an engineer is advised.
Beas the customer service is not respondig for my grievance here in india
The machine is under warranty only.
Hi, please see the contact page linked bellow for Bosch India.
www.bosch-home.in/service/contact-and-info/contact-form-general
Step 1. TURN OFF ELECTRICITY
Yes. I didn’t. Ouch.
You got shocked?
@@brendanwho Yep! Decided at that point to shut the door and call an engineer!
@@DangleVonBallbag you could just turn it off and continue with repairs
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅🎉 1:😢 1:27 😅22 😮
bought a bosch a year ago and have had nothing buy problems. had a MAYTAG for 15 years and never had a problem will never buy another bosch appliance ever again
Had a Whirlpool Dishwasher and it caught fire. Read up on it and apparently this was a thing that Whirlpool knew about and did not do a recall until several years later and several houses had burned down. My Bosch has raining issue on occasion but I can fix it. Can't fix fire.
Does anyone have a ballpark figure to replace the water pump
Hi, take a look here, you can alos book an engineer via this link. www.bosch-home.co.uk/customer-service/repair-service
Just the ticket...
What if you do this and it still doesn't drain
Hi, thank you for your message.
Apologies, we would recommend contacting your local customer service team to arrange an egineer visit.
Thanks, James.
Why did he not roll up his sleeves, it distracted me the whole video!
Hahaha! Me too! I kept thinking ‘that’s not how normal people do things!’
Thank you for very helpful video. I now know why (-€80) x (-1) = €80.
The call out charge I didnt have to pay is money saved in my pocket.
I am however, the victim of voodoo economics in these situations. Can you make another video about how to stop herself multiplying the above with another (-1) ?
I have watched all these videos and cleaned countless times but it still goes into the same error code.
1:02
It's too dark to see the pump area and the pump cover is almost hidden from sight.obviously easy after you have done it once but too fiddly for me
