I was able to fix the issue with a new supply valve from a registered Bosch parts supplier for $26. This could also be a drain hose issue that causes the same error code or a leak from a seal somewhere else.
Fantastic. I have a different model of Bosch but this gave me all the knowledge i needed to fix the problem in about 20 min (and part of that was finding the right screwdriver bits) Very easy to follow, though for newbies like me, I recommend taking a picture of each step of disassembly so if you get lost on how things go back together, you have references
Less than 4 minutes video gave me knowledge to save money. If you’re not an angel then I don’t know. God bless.
Thank you Ken. I had the E15 with a similar model of Bosch. Followed your guide, fortunately no leaking inlet valve so hoping the cleaning on the inside seals will do the trick. Wouldn’t have had the confidence to disassemble and reassemble without your video. All the best!
Thank you for making and posting this video. My Bosch dishwasher threw an E:15 error code on the long weekend. This video was one of the first things that showed up in my search. Your diagnosis of a leaking inlet water supply valve was the exact same problem that my dishwasher had. A simple phone call and a trip to a local Bosch part supply store cost me about $30. A relatively simple fix within 24 hours. This saved me probably $300 in service call. Thank you!
Thank you Ken! I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge which helped me quickly diagnose and fix my own dishwasher. Without your instructional video I wouldn't have attempted to fix it myself. You're awesome!
Thanks a lot from Slovakia 🙏 very helpful video
Thanks so much! This gave me the courage to take our dishwasher to bits! In our case, it turned out that there was some dirt / grit in the bottom left corner of the door seal which meant water was dripping through there, hitting the metal plate with the projected time remaining on and then flowing into the base which is what triggered the flood E15 alarm. A good clean to remove the dirt fixed the seal and (so far!) it seems to have resolved the issue. Thanks so much!
There are other ways in which you can get and E-15. In my case, water comes down the overflow - the rectangular grey tube that connects from the bottom of the door down into the base of the cabinet at about 0:58 in the video. I have already replaced the water inlet valve and the float switch that actuates when the styrofoam float is raised. AND, the drain pump can only be shut off by flipping the breaker. There is more to E-15 than you describe.
Thank you for the video, it has helped me a lot! For those who aren't very handy and don't want to disassemble or change parts, I solved it by tilting the dishwasher to one side until stagnant water started to come out from the bottom. After that, the error didn't appear anymore, and I was able to start the dishwasher. What I will do is turn off the water between each use and see how long it lasts that way!
Excellent video. I was able to pull my dishwasher apart tonight.
There was water in the tray, but no visible leaks despite testing it for a good 30 minutes.
Dried it all up, reassembled and ran the dishwasher again and it was fine. Strange!
Thank you for the great video and clear instructions.
Awesome. With your valuable instructions, I was able to fix our DW in no time. THANKS!
Have a Bosch dishwasher, model number was on the side of the door. Had a 5yr extended warranty, but the dishasher failed at 5yrs 1 month. Followed your video - was able to determine it needed the same part. Ordered from Amazon, make sure the part supports your model number - installed ok. Had to pull out the dishwasher, but it all went back together ok. -- Thanks for your help.
Nice, fixed the issue, please continue to provide videos on errors of commonly used household appliances, really helpful!
AWESOME VIDEO ! Exactly my problem. I would add that if you get the error, and then turn off the power, on my model, the display never came back on - it was completely dead. I started the get worried the mother board/display was hosed up. No worries, it comes back to life AFTER you dry up the water and the float resets. Thank you for your help !!!
Thank you. Followed exactly and had same leaking inlet valve. I like the no nonsense video and steady camera.
Totally helped me diagnose and fix our Bosch dishwasher. Water inlet valve was leaking. Local dealer had the part and it is fixed!
Thank you so much for this video! I was about to replace our dishwasher, then decided to do a search and found your video. I was able to easily and quickly diagnose the issue as the same in your video. Bought $24 valve online, all fixed!!
Where online? I have the same issue. TiA
Best video for this error code fix!! Brief concise and extremely informative. I would maybe just add a note to not unscrew the top screws which hold the control panel and emphasize just to remove the screws on the side of the door panel. This was my bad but thought I’d share in case others are too quick about removing all the screws and have the panel fall off with the front door. I also learned there is a loose connector with red wires hanging I plugged it in cause I thought it came out by accident but after an hour of trouble shooting I learned if you plug in that connector to the control panel the dishwasher will not power on ugh! So leave that loose connector unplugged
My dw is not powering on - where is the red wire connection you are referencing?
There are 3 red wires connected to a white connnector that just hangs loose inside the panel I happened to take that connector and plugged it into the control panel where there was an open slot then the washer would not power on but when I disconnected it it powered on
Your video was very good to a point. You failed to show how to access the supply valve - that you must pull the dishwasher out and access it from the rear. My advice on that is to mark the location of the feet in the front so you can put the dishwasher back in the right place.
I just followed this and was done in Under 1 hr. You saved me a mint of money dude. Thankyou.
followed your vid, fixed my washer. It was all as you foretold. THANK YOU
Awesome professional video without nonsense chit chat! Thank you so much! Wish you lived in my neighborhood, LOL. Will order a part and will have to find someone - eye issues. But you helped so much in saving $$$
Cheers mate, that's saved us £75 call out. Much appreciated. Keep up the good work.
You, sir, are a hero. Dried it out, fixed.
Solid explanation. You saved me money and time and lots of stress. Will try this tomorrow and give you an update!
Mine was slightly different. From underneath, I could see the water calcification residue around the top of the sump. And then saw the leak during the wash cycle. I had seen another video where someone just tighened the screws from inside the dishwasher (but mine were already tight). Rather than tear the thing apart; (from inside the dishwasher) I removed the two back screws that secured the upper level cleaning return. And then I loosened the two front sump screws 1/8 of an inch. I was able to push down the sump, leaving a 1/8 inch gap. After drying out the gap with a hairdryer; I put in some of that high quality GE Clear Silicon in the gap. Then I screwed everything down and let it dry overnight.
Worked like a champ!!!!
Ken, thank you so much. I followed your instructions, soaked up the water, reset the sensor, but couldn't find where the leak was coming from? No obvious dripping when running? Anyway, it's working for now 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This worked. Thank you. I just needed to dry out the inner base. Fingers crossed it holds up ❤
Nice video. I was going to open my dishwasher as per your comments but then looked inside the tub and noticed my cycle wasn’t interrupted because a plate was blocking the second level spinning arm. I am not sure if this tripped the E15 code but I reset the unit (3 sec) and I turned the unit off and then on…the code disappeared and I ran the cycle again after removing the dish. No more code and unit has run smoothly. Maybe others might want to try this first. Btw Bosch units are great value….top notch for fair price. Thanks.👍
Just repaired mine with the same issue. I didn't have any parts leaking but instead a very gradual gasket seal leak causing liquid grease to pile up and set off the float switch. After cleaning the rubber seals and the water tray and styrofoam flat switch it works just like it always has. At least every month I clean the filter and the tray inside the dishwasher as well. Keep it clean and things will work and clean like when it was new.
Thank you for this! I am not 100% sure where my water is coming from, but this helped me get it back going!
Well, I got the door off, the cover removed, the insulation safely pulled out only to finally discover that the filter at the bottom of the inside of the machine had not been cleaned out ever. So the old story goes, check the simplest things first. But hey, I know how to get under the hood of the Bosch now. Thanks Ken!
Great job. Your talk really helped me out
This was very helpful. Thank you!!!
Fixed it for me! Reminder to clean your seals once every 2 years lol
Thank you! This easy fix saved me a bunch of $!
Mate, a bloody lifesaver. Cheers for the video
Great video, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing.
Saved my day.
Super helpful. Thank you
You're the King, thx
Thanks for the vid, got mine fixed!
Helpful but would be better if the actual removal and installation of the valve were demonstrated as well
How did you get to the inlet supply valve? Did you have to pull the whole dishwasher out? My dishwasher pulls out halfway and then stops
Life saver! Thank you
Thanks! Had the drillbit, the flashlights, and rags, instead of waiting for callback from service company, took it upon myself to dissassemble, check, and clean. E 15 error gone, still the motor cranks up loudly, maybe they are only good now for 5-10 years 😮
To take apart the door cover it’s not a standard Phillips head screw? Can you give me the bit size
❤❤❤❤ ty helped me
Hey Ken, where did you source the water inlet valve from? Online? Brick and mortar?
Can you please tell me how you removed that part? Same part is leaking on mine. Thanks
thanks it was exactly the same problem here ;-)
Thank you sooo much! 🎉
Dont forget to remove the 3 screws in the handle area too.
hey ken appreciate your videos it is really helpful. where did you order that part? I have the same problem like yours.
Hmm... what do I do about all the wires connecting the outer door to the inner door. Maybe I took off the wrong thing...
We got the E15 code on thermador sapphire and no leak was detected but the water did overflow onto our hardwood floor under dishwasher. Any idea why that would have happened? I thought this e15 was supposed to prevent the flooding under the dishwasher. Thanks for your video too!!
Anyone have a link to this part? I have this exact same issue and since I’m so far into it, I’d like to just order the part and get it replaced since it looks straightforward.
Any guess what the problem would be on a brand new install? Faulty or clogged drain pipe maybe? (It was a professional install of a Thermador. No problem on the installer check load. Error code appeared on first load of dishes we washed.)
Since your comment was from several months ago, curious did you solve it? So many possibilities but I would suggest to tighten the screws that hold the mesh filter in case the gasket seal is too loose from the factory.
@@ddbear8786 Thanks, Thermador sent repairman. Dishwasher was missing a part (a gasket or washer) from factory.
Suggestions for an e17 error?
I think I have a different problem. I have a crystal dry model and I think there is a crack under that area of the dishwasher. More inspection needed, but I’m not liking the looks of this. P.S. if you can pull your dishwasher all the way out, you’ll have an easier time accessing the water tap basin. Just pull back the insulation and voila, there’s a huge gaping hole in the frame where you can reach in, no need to remove the front panels.
Thanks a lot 👍
Dank u
Thank you
How to turn off he washer , it’s constantly creating a noice as if it is working . How to turn it off ? Cause main switch off button on the washer isn’t working
where did you purchase the part from? I have the same issue with my Bosch.
Outstanding
What part number is that?
Thx man)
How did you replace the inlet valve? Need to move the unit out and get it from behind?
did anyone ever answer you? I think I have the same issue as Ken and there is no way to get to that part.
@@lugnut705 no, but I found another video and figured it out. You have to pull the entire unit out. Then in the back you need to remove the bottom panel, and that will give you access. I’ll try to find the video I found and send it.
Same issue here. Did you find the video?

Oh man! Thank you so much. What was that part number for that part? That's the exact same thing that's going on with mine
What if the Dishwasher is still going after you turn the breaker off?
Then it's a different breaker
Where did you buy the part? I'm also in Canada....
I wish it was this easy .
Replaced nearly every conceivable part . $700.00 in now and still no joy . No water leak just e15 water check light .
Why not buy a new dishwasher before you spent $700?
@@marioman3217 new dishwasher $1400.00
Mine was because I put too much soap and it foamed out of the door
Imagine if cars were built to the same build standards as dishwashers. We'd all be dead. Expensive crap.
Would this error code happen if the door wasn't closed tightly? Want to make sure before I start taking it apart :0
I've had the error code when there was buildup on the seal around the door. A good clean got rid of it.
Same error E15 , i have placed a new seal, mounting from the inside. OeM repairkit available. This is good exemple ( Dutch but you will have an idea how to replace)

People start doing things themselves there be no point of a repair man. Eventually instead of calling someone to fix it. Your just have to do everything yourself. Or pay a unexperience kid to do it
Bosch products are really the worst and weak. If you have enough time to repair and go behind these errors every 7 -14 days you could have washed your dishes by your own.Speaking from experience.
You meant to say LG. Bosch is the best dishwasher, hands down.
Maybe luck or different model or different made, dunno. Mine Bosch since 2010 and i have been using it daily, it is after 14 years without a single problem, until yesterday the exact same valve in this video have leaking problem.
Brilliant video
Thank you 😅
Thanks Ken helpful and uk Advantixx dishwasher only slightly different but the ideas worked
GREAT JOB, THANKS
Fixed it for me! Reminder to clean your seals once every 2 years lol
