Most Bosch calls we get are dishwashers, and many arrive with a code on the display. Below are real Bosch jobs from our records, code by code, dated and priced.
We take calls every day of the week
About three of every four Bosch jobs we do are dishwashers, so this page is organized the way those calls reach us: by the code on the display. Under each code is a job from our records, with the month, the town and the whole bill rounded to $5, diagnostic included. Where our visit notes are blank we tell you, and show only what the photos show. Bosch refrigerators, ranges and a warming drawer follow in Part 2.
E15 is the code customers mention to us most, then E24 and E25.
A Bosch dishwasher has a tray in its base with a float switch. When water reaches it, the machine stops and shows E15. Clearing the code without finding where the water came from only resets the alarm.
Booked with E15 on the display. The technician confirmed the code, found water leaking into the base, repaired the leak and ran the machine to check it. The code did not return. One visit, finished on the day of booking.
The notes don’t say where in the machine the leak was, so we won’t name a part here.


The owner had already pulled the dishwasher out of its cabinet and seen it dripping into the base pan, with E15 showing. Four days passed between the booking and the closed job. It was invoiced at about $360, well past the $85 diagnostic, so paid work beyond the diagnostic was done, but our notes don’t record what was leaking or what was fixed.

A Bosch shows E24 or E25 when it tried to pump its water out and couldn’t. The Pasadena job below recorded no code at all, only a “drain error”, so treat it as the complaint, not as a code example.
The cycle wouldn’t finish because water stayed in the tub. The drain system was clogged. Clearing it was the whole repair, and no part is listed on the job.
Here the owner had looked the code up, bought the part it seemed to point to and fitted it. The code outlived the new part.
The dishwasher had stopped working and showed E06. The owner had already ordered a new door latch and installed it; the code didn’t go away. We were there the day it was booked. The bill was $280, more than the $85 diagnostic alone, so paid work beyond the diagnostic was done, but our notes are silent on what the technician found and fixed.

Not every call names a code. On a Bosch dishwasher the control module sits inside the door, behind the control strip, so reaching it means taking the door apart.
Booked simply as “Bosch dishwasher” on May 18 and closed on June 2. Its invoice reached about $630, so paid work went well beyond the diagnostic, but the visit notes are empty, so we make no claim about which part went in. The photos show the module out of the door, and the machine running again afterwards.


Refrigerators are about one Bosch call in seven. These arrive with a complaint, not a code.
It was booked as a Bosch ice maker. The cause turned out to be the freezer fan motor: without it the freezer can’t circulate cold air or hold a steady temperature, and ice production depends on both. We replaced the fan motor and tested the refrigerator. Six days from booking to the finished job.

Another ice maker that had stopped. This time there was frost built up in the freezer, most likely from the door being left open. The technician recommended a manual defrost and a new ice maker. The owner chose the defrost only, so we did that as a labor-only job and left the ice maker price with them.
The technician also warned that the problem might come back. The same customer called us about the ice maker again the following year.
We cleaned the condenser coils, to improve airflow and heat exchange. The technician was plain about what came next: if cooling didn’t recover, the compressor or sealed system could be damaged, and a quote for that repair would follow. We asked the owner to watch the freezer temperature from there. We have no later visit on file for it.

The buttons on the left side of the control panel had stopped responding. The technician’s diagnosis was the control board, and the board was repaired during that same visit, on the day the job was booked.

Booked because the drawer’s door wouldn’t open. The visit was billed at $85, the diagnostic alone; no repair was done. Why isn’t in our notes, and we won’t guess.
