— 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: E6101.
In plain words, E23 is about draining — the water did not leave in the time the control allows, usually a blockage in the filter, hose or pump.
Bosch gives 2 other drain codes for this dishwasher: E24 (The drain pump is blocked or the drain pump cover is loose), E25 (The drain pump is blocked or the drain pump cover is loose).
Next to E23 in Bosch’s table: E22 (The dishwasher filter is blocked) and E24 (The drain pump is blocked or the drain pump cover is loose).
Safety: If it smells like burning, sparks, or trips the breaker, switch it off at the breaker and leave it off until it is checked.
At least THIS WEEK. fixRAgent treats this code as a this-week repair: the appliance has reported a fault, but the code alone does not point at a safety hazard. 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.
Appliance repair. Have the model and serial numbers from the label ready — a photo of the label works.
Check whether your model is under a safety recall on the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s site: cpsc.gov/Recalls. Your owner’s manual is on Bosch’s support site; search it with the model number from the label.
