Fix it guide
What does the error code on my dishwasher mean?
Most codes fall into drain, water intake, heating or leak detection. Miele F24 and F70, Bosch E15, E24 and E25, and Thermador E15 are the ones we see most. The code narrows the diagnosis but the fix still needs the component tested, not guessed.
Check these first
Four things to try before you book
None of these require tools or take more than a few minutes. If one of them fixes it, you have saved a service call.
- Note the exact code before turning the unit off.
- Power the dishwasher down at the breaker for two minutes and restart.
- Clear the filter and check for standing water, since drain codes are the most common.
- Confirm the water supply valve under the sink is open.
Still not working
When to call
If the fault persists or returns within a day, a component has failed and needs to be tested and replaced. Send the model and serial number from the data plate, the exact symptom and any code on the display.
