Is E15 on a Bosch dishwasher an emergency?

Treat it as urgent — deal with it today. If water is reaching outlets, cords or the floor near anything electrical, switch off the breaker before you touch anything, and shut off the water to the appliance.

What E15 means

“The safety switch has detected water in the base of the dishwasher.”

— Bosch Home Appliances US, Dishwasher Error Codes | Support | Bosch. Codes vary by model: check your dishwasher’s own manual.

The same code can also show as: E3100.

Where E15 fits

Next to E15 in Bosch’s table: E14 (There is a flow meter failure or an issue with water flowing into the dishwasher or the filling system) and E16 (There is an issue with water flowing into the dishwasher or the filling system).

What to try first

  • Turn off the water supply to the dishwasher and look for the source of the leak.

Safety: If water is reaching outlets, cords or the floor near anything electrical, switch off the breaker before you touch anything, and shut off the water to the appliance.

How urgent is it?

At least TODAY. fixRAgent treats this code as needing attention today. It points at water where it should not be, overheating, a combustion or ignition safety shutdown, food that may be warming, or a wiring problem. This is fixRAgent’s reading, not the manufacturer’s. A photo can raise it — water near wiring, scorch marks, a gas smell — but a code never lowers what the photo shows.

Who to call
