- If your Dishwasher is showing the E 15 code, then this video will show you the most common cause of the E 15 code and How To FIX it Quick and EASY Step-by-Step!
The E 15 code is a common fault on Neff, Siemens and Bosch dishwashers, so this video should cover all of those brands. The e 15 error code is caused by water getting into the bottom of the machine. Once you find the cause of the water leak and fix it the e 15 error code will reset on its own.

Thanks for this video, my Siemens dishwasher developed this E15 fault, and of course, mine was the 10% that wasn’t fixed easily.
After following your steps, I found it was still leaking, but water was leaking from the main sump seal. I could see it glistening when I shone a light onto it.
So for others here - I did the following which cured it for me!
1. Took everything out of the washer, drawers etc, removed the bottom wash arm, the filter plate and mopped up all the water in the sump bowl.
2. Removed the two screws that were revealed by removing the filter plate. Put something down the sump bowl just in case I dropped a screw down it. I then removed the next two screws from the rear plastic cover.
3. I then removed the spray arm assembly, which is just held on by a couple of clips, one in the back in the middle and one set on the top. Removing the arm allows for it to be removed from the machine (and cleaned).
4. I gently pushed down on the sump bowl (grey plastic part), and this allowed it move down about 1cm.
5. I used a credit card with some kitchen towel, wrapped the card in paper towel and used it to get under the gap between the grey plastic and metal upper part. I gently moved this around the edge of the sump and was able to remove quite a bit of gunk.
6. I repeated this about 4 times until I was sure that no more grease and gunk was coming out. Make sure no towel or rubbish gets left under the plate!
7. I put the first two screws I removed back into the place under the filter plate, and righted up about 70% of the way. I then did the two back screws in the same way after reinstalling the spray arm. It just clips back into place.
8. I tightened the screws up clockwise so that they would righted evenly, and was sure to check there were no gaps between the grey plastic of the sump bowl and the metal plates.
9. I then turned on the power, ran the machine on a pre wash and watched underneath for any leaks. There was no sign of water around the main sump!
10. 5 washes later, and still no leaks!
I assume that this was a combination of food/grease contamination around the main seal and once removed and reseated, it fixed the problem.
I hope it helps anyone who watches this video and it didn’t fix the problem.
Hi Mark, thanks very much for taking the time to post up these instructions for what to do if the bottom of your machine is still leaking! I do get asked this question but as I'm just a DIY'er and my machine only had a dirty seal, I haven't needed to do this, so I couldn't advise people. In future, I will direct them to your comment! AND I have "Pinned" it to the top of the comments section. 😀 Thanks again! Phil
@@NowFixit Phil, thanks, as you I am just a DIY'er too, and after using your video to try and fix my machine, I looked a little deeper and found the instructions for replacing the sump seal (without disassembly of the machine) and it makes reference to removing the four screws and pushing the sump assembly down. So I just thought, got nothing to lose, a clean and reseal might just work - and it did! Hopefully your excellent video and my scribblings will help even more people from just writing off a perfectly serviceable machine and sending into landfill! Cheers, Mark.
@@markwalsham7115 I also had a leak around the sump seal but in my case I could only drop the pump by about 2mm (more at the back) but I did find a cotton bud did a great job of clearing out the gunk. Seems to have worked so far but I suspect it needs a much more thorough clean and/or a new seal at some point. Machine is 5 years old and in daily use.
@markwalsham7115
Where did you get the new seal from? Have you got a link? Cheers.
thanks 👍
What an amazing video. Had the video watched and job finished in under an hour. Thanks a million! No crap, straight to the content. This is peak RUclips 🙂
Thanks so much! 👍😎
Just completed this at home at 9.30 on a Thursday evening and found this video invaluable. Of course no bugger offered to make me a cup of tea, and the wife was massively underwhelmed by my achievements. Just one warning, I did slice a finger on the steel plate (4mins 55), so watch out the edges are sharp! Thanks again!
@marklane8959 Sounds like you're not getting the recognition that you deserve! 😀 Well done and thanks for the comment, you're right on pretty much all of these white goods, you are dealing with sharp edges of sheet steel as soon as you open them up! Cheers, Phil
Excellent guide, thank you! This fixed my Neff (and sorted the cause!).
I have an integrated door, so only needed to take 4 screws out. Was trial and error, but quite easy to work out which the longer screws were.
This was a really clear and concise video and helped to get our Neff dishwasher working again. Perfect for a relatively DIY phobic individual like me so thank you for posting it. Just hope the leak was just the build up of debris and not something more problematic!
@Churchill575 Glad the video helped you! Well done for doing it if you're not a regular diyer. 👍 I haven't had any further problems with mine since doing the video but I have been back and cleaned the seal again. Looks like once every 6 months is a good idea. Cheers, Phil
This is a very clear, easy-to-follow and comprehensive video. It helped me understand the problem and the fix, thus potentially saving a lot in call-out fees, for a ten-year-old appliance. Interestingly, before I started I rechecked the machine and the fault had cleared, so I just did the clean.
Thanks for your comment, much appreciated! 🙏 It's not a big job to open up the bottom but great that your fault cleared (water probably evaporated off or the float was stuck a little bit) and you did the right thing not to go looking further. Cleaning the seal every few months (I did mine recently) should keep the problem at bay! 👍
Thank you for the excellent video, it t saved me calling out a Neff Service Technician, so a great result!
My dishwasher was built in, so it took me nearly two hours. It took me a while to get the door panel off - in case it helps others, there were 6 long screws along both sides that held the door panel to the machine. Once those are out, the panel dropped down and discovered that there were two latches on the bottom of the panel that slotted into two holes on the front of the dishwasher. There was also some velcro pads on the panel that helped to stick it to the dishwasher door. Anyway once that panel was off, I could get to the bottom plate easily and get to the inside of the machine. I found a pool of disgusting, gloopy yellow liquid around and in the reservoir with the polystyrene disk. It took me a few goes to get the sensor off, it didn't pull off easily, so I had to rock it from side to side for a bit. Used quite a bit of kitchen towel to clean up all the liquid but after reassembly everything is back to normal. My other big tip for the repair is to allow some time for cleaning the machine itself and around the installation. Built in machines look lovely, but it's amazing how much crud gets behind the door panel, and underneath the machine! Thanks again.
Thanks for sharing, your info above is sure to help others! Integrated machines are always more tricky...
Thanks, scrutinised your video following E15 turning up earlier in the week and then fixed it! My model is a series 4 SMS46IW04G, bottom panel was difficult to remove on the RHS, had to loosen the LSH and then get a hand in to prise open the fitting at the top and bottom, also noted that my machine does not have the additional soundproofing, but took less than an hour in total and it's now extra clean around the seals and most importantly, works, saving me from the misery of washing up and/or a £500+ replacement!😎
Fantastic, sounds like you did some really good work there. 👍
Hey up mate, you just saved my holidays! Got the e15 because of a clogged pipe, managed to fix everything thanks to you. There was an extra step as my dishwasher is built-in, now I can focus on preparing my trip as everything works like a charm! Thank you very much!
Thanks for your comment, really glad the video helped you, these things always seem to happen at the worst possible time! Cheers, Phil
Fantastic Video! Woke up this morning to an E15 error on my Siemens dishwasher, found this video around 2pm, dishwasher fixed by 3:17pm, fault was exactly as described! Would say that getting the sensor out and putting the door panel back in place were the trickiest parts, but all is well! As an added bonus I have discovered I own a series of T bits so that was a plus! Thanks for a top quality, easy to follow explanation!
Good work getting it fixed so fast! I had to be nagged for a while... 😅 Glad you liked the video!
Thanks. Perfect instructions - fixed my Siemens dishwasher. Took me about 30mins from start to finish. Gave everything a good clean along the way. Getting door panel back on was tricky but easy once I realised the top slots in first. Hardest part was getting back off the floor with my dodgy knees!
Lots of people on here fixing it faster than I did! 😅 Good work!
Big thanks for the clear video! My fault ended up being the heat pump connection leaking, but your video was simple to follow, and enabled me to open up the front and get the water out, and clean up all the seals. Was easy then to see the flood spurting from the RHS. Taking off that RHS panel I removed, cleaned up (dried mostly), and connected it back up. Two full cycles through and looking good so far. Thanks again!
I don’t normally comment on videos but cannot ignore this one. So easy, simple and helpful. Cracked problem within 20 minutes. A big thank you for this video!
Thanks you so much! Really appreciate the feedback and that you took the time to comment! 👍😎 Cheers, Phil
I'm the same....fixed amazingly quick. In built dishwasher too. Just sightly different screws to undo but trial and error paid off
This was an invaluable, step by step guide for sorting an E15 code fault on my Neff dishwasher. My dishwasher is a later (built in model) with a heavy door. I have recently experienced door chord breakages & over time the lower door seal had become dislodged & dirty. Removed seal & cleaned thoroughly, rebuilt which was a bit of a Chinese Puzzle. Turned machine back on & hey presto the fault had cleared & away we go. A real big help, which saved me calling out an Engineer. Thankyou for posting.
Sounds like you had more challenging work to do than me but glad that the video pointed you in the right direction 👍😁
You just saved my day! Took me quite some efforts to pull the front panel off cause I have a different model and setup, but it felt great to solve this issue following your step. Thank you.
Good job finding a work around for the model differences and glad the video was still useful and gave you enough info to point you in the right direction! 😀
This was very clear and helpful. I got my dishwasher going again this morning and appreciate your video helping me to avoid an expensive call-out charge. Thank you.
Thanks for taking the time to comment, great to hear another machine is back in action! Cheers, Phil
I had a Siemens iQ dishwasher with a E15 code. Followed this video exactly apart from couldn’t get either switch or polystyrene float out on my model easily, so simply cleaned out all channels as described and also within door once the front was off. Then tipped machine back 45 degrees and wiped out puddle of remaining water in floor pan with bit of kitchen sponge held in bbq tongs. All reassembled easily and whole job took an hour. Machine running as normal. Worth remembering as an occasional maintence job. Nicely done video and clearly explained, thanks!
@repeekeeb1 A few people in the comments have tipped up the machine as you did, probably the easier method! Well done getting it sorted 👍
Thanks a million! 👍🏼 This was actually our built in Gaggenau dishwasher and the fix it definitely solved the problem. Only additional time was reassemble and assemble the kitchen again. But knowing that a Gaggenau service manager won't step in the house below £300 this was a great save. Thanks again!
I didn't know that the video was also applicable to Gaggenau machines! Glad the fix worked for you and saved you some money! It's why I do the videos! 😀 Thanks for the comment, really appreciate it 👍 Cheers, Phil
fixed my Siemens in an hour including a complete de-grease and clean of the inside, whilst I was at it. Superb, easy to follow video. Thank you very much.
Sounds like your machine will be good as new now! Thanks for your kind comments, much appreciated! 😎 Thanks, Phil
Excellent, well-presented video, which i wish I'd watched before I started. My E15 fault developed when there was an unrelated water leak close to the back of the dishwasher, which flooded the machine - and the kitchen floor. I found I could mop out the interior without removing the float-switch assembly. The only problem was fitting the door back on, but that was solved by paying close attention to how you took it off (as opposed to how I took it off!). Many thanks.
Hi, yes, I mustn't have shown very well the door going back on. Good idea to look again at how it came off! Glad you managed to fix your machine 👍
Excellent video. We had the error stated and followed your instructions. Our machine was a bit different (the front panel was one single piece and we had to take off the whole thing, including the control panel). Once in there I found the float / switch unit was completely dry. But, there was some weird sticky brown gunk under the float and on the float itself. Once we cleaned that off and put everything back together it seemed to work just fine.
It seems weird that it was dry down there but cleaning the float / reservoir made it work just fine. Not complaining mind you, we saved a bunch of money, so THANKS!!
Thanks! Glad the video pointed in the right direction! Well done for investigating further and finding the issue 👍 Cheers, Phil
Many thanks for the really helpful video on my Siemens E15 error issue Your video was the most comprehensive by far. No shaky video, dim lighting and muffled audio. Got my E15 error fixed but not so easy for a 78 year old groveling around the kitchen 😁
Thanks so much, that's music to my ears! It takes longer to get good video, audio, lighting but I really work on it! Great that the vid helped you!
Thanks for your help, works great. Just a bit more difficult on a slimline dishwasher, but the same fix. I poked a strip of absorbent cloth under the polystyrene with a screwdriver and dragged it out. Did that several times until dry 👍
This video. THIS saved me. EXCELLENT explanation and teardown. In our case was there a buildup of years of crud on the door-seals (exactly as you described) that lead to dish-water trickling down into the belly of the machine. The styrofoam float was full of old dried up goo. Cleaned everything with a scrub and it runs fine again. THANK YOU !
Thank you! Sounds like you had a lot of cleanup to do but got there in the end - good work! 👍
Just want to say thank you so much. E25 problem . Because of your other video.
I cleaned out my filter delved into the
hole/pump and found a small piece of broken crockery in the (sump well?) Hole.
I am a hero in my own home. Thanks.
So so helpful and well described. I'm utterly stoked with my DIY fix that saved me $110 from a Bosch Technician. Thank you for making the video!! 😀😀😀
Thank you so much for this. I followed the instructions and finished within 30 minutes with my built-in Neff dishwasher! Eternally grateful ☺️
Hey, no probs at all, glad the vid helped you 👍
10 minute fix became 3 hour work. But worked 😍 thank you
You’re welcome! ☺️ Don’t feel bad, it took me a while too and you got the fix done! Loads of people comment that they fix the machine faster than I did! 😂
Wonderful tutorial -- brilliantly filmed and clearly explained. Thanks! Ours is a slimline version of yours, but the procedure followed, exactly. E 15 code resolutely refused to clear, so in I went. Confusingly, it was as dry as a bone down there -- but fiddling with the Styrofoam float and reassembly got us back on the road. Don't know if the warm weather has affected its smooth travel... The wood blocks tip is genius. Power to your elbow!
Thanks so much! Well done going the step further and figuring out what was wrong with your float 👍
Clear video and explanation, at the right pace! Thanks so much! I fixed my Siemens within 30 min. 👍
Good work, glad the video helped and you got your machine fixed! 👍
Thank you for your video. To get into mine was slightly different, another barrier, was only two screws extra, but your video showed me the path I needed to take and it worked perfectly. Would have had no clue if it wasn’t for your post. Much appreciated
Hey, no probs at all! Sounds like you did good spotting the extra screws etc required on your machine!
Followed all your steps - the biggest problem I had was getting the kick plate off - you really do need those wooden blocks to lift the dishwasher up high enough to get your hands underneath and also as a result of the slight tilt the liquid that was in the base was easier to remove. The only thing I don't know is where the liquid (a light green and feels like its got softener in it) was actually coming from. If anyone can shed any light on any possibilities I would be very grateful. But the best bit was your video sorted the problem and I ran a quick wash with no problems. Thank you so much!
You're welcome and thanks for your comment! Green liquid is a new one to me... Cheers, Phil
Great Video
Thank you! You get directly to the point, without any unnecessary chitchat. Great explanation! Thanks a lot!
Thanks! 😀
made my evening, as this was the only video which explained precise details on a standalone dishwasher.. many thanks from India !
Nice to hear from India! Greetings from the UK and thank you for your kind comment! Cheers, Phil
Superb! Fixed the Bosch myself and no call out fee, thanks so much for posting this.
Good work, music to my ears that you DIY fixed it and saved some money! Thanks, Phil
Thank you very much for the video and clear instructions. I just cleaned my Bosch machine and dried the sensor area of water. it is now running normally again!
Awesome video - very well explained and I managed to drain the leak on my Neff dishwasher and get it working again inside 20 mins. Huge thanks for producing this walkthrough.
Thanks so much! 20mins is a fast fix - good work! 👍
My dishwasher was of a little bit different model but it was similar enough. I followed all the steps and my dishwasher is working again! Thank you so much for the help! 👍
Well done improvising! Yes, from the comments, looks like there are some variations across machines, glad the vid was enough to point you in the right direction. Thanks, Phil
Thank you very much! My son put in normal dish soap in the dishwasher and (of course) all soap came out through the sides of the door :-)) This saved us a lot of money.
Thanks for this video! I was able to fix my super expensive Bosch Active Water Eco2 doing this! It is 8 years old, so I thought this is too soon to go and look for a new one. I did exactly what you did and it took me 2 hours. I was doing this alone and would have been faster had I had a third hand to help with the door. Thank you also for providing screw types and directions, this was super helpful!
@yvonnek.7324 Good work! 👍 Yes, it is a bit of an awkward job. I tend to work slow and methodical too, a lot of people on here have fixed their machines faster than me. The key think is you got it done and it works 😃 Thanks, Phil
Thank you so much for the clear video! I was shocked to find smelly gunk INSIDE my door panel. Thankfully I was able to clean that out and then using a large syringe to remove the water from below the machine. Also thank you for describing the specific size of the tool needed to remove the door panel I was able to borrow it from my dad. Yay!
@SoSofties I know, I also just assumed everywhere inside the machine would be clean! Glad you sorted it! 👍
Wonderful.
Thank you so much.
Easy to follow. The longest time was finding an understandable video.
And after reading through the comments on yours, I was sure, that was it.
Even though it’s not my first language, you took me through the whole process with ease.
I have not started washing jet, but the error is gone, so I’m convinced, it’s fixed. Otherwise, I’ll come back with a further comment.
Thanks so much! Yes, I try my best to be clear and to show things clearly too, glad it helped you! Thanks, Phil
Ever the sceptical about these self help videos but this time fantastic thank you, had to sortied in no time absolutely bang on the numbers. You're a credit to RUclips, hag liked and subscribed thank you thank you thank you xx
Glad you liked the video and Thanks so much for the kind comment! Great to have you onboard as a subscriber! Very close to monetising now (1000 subs required), so really appreciate every one of you! Cheers, Phil
Absolutely video of the month! Was a piece of cake to follow, fixed the problem, and left me feeling like a pro! Thank you so much for an invaluable instruction video. The cliffhanger was pulling the sensor, but just as you say in the video: a good yank will make it come loose. Great video!
Thanks so much for the kind comment! 😁 Glad you got it sorted 👍 cheers, Phil
Thanks man, I felt kind of done after I came home at midnight to see a E15, which I've never seen before. Got it back up working, but I have no idea where the leakage came from. Also I was a little unsure about that soft material that was jumping out when I unscrewed the screws. Did I put them the right way back on?
Anyway, your calmness and expertise really gave me the confidence needed. Thanks for not beeing one of those overly engaged RUclipsrs, but collected and helpful. Cheers!
Hey cool, glad you like my presentation style! Calm and steady is how I like things! 😂 Glad you got your machine going 👍 cheers, Phil
Fantastic! Fixed mine in half an hour. I’m eternally grateful! 😁
Thank you! No probs at all! 👍
Very clear and no faffing instructions, I think it fixed our dishwasher 🤞 Many thanks for the upload, have a great day
Thanks so much! 😎
Just brilliant thank you - saved a large repair bill. Just FYI, we could not get the sensor out, so used kitchen towel to absorb the water while sensor and disc in place. This worked too. Thank you
I actually think that is an easier method, using paper towel or a sponge and leaving the float and sensor in place - good work, glad you got it sorted! 😀
Thanks a lot! This saved me from calling in Siemens repair service! In my case it was just water that leaked from the side into the hinge. The kids were loading the dishwasher and not paying attention that water had spilled on the side part of the door (there where the screws are). Apparently just a little tiny bit of water is enough to let the disc float!
Again, thanks al lot for sharing!
Glad you got it sorted! Hope the kids only got half of their pocket money for that job! (Just kidding btw!) cheers, Phil
Some boy - easy to follow instructions. One night of cleaning dishes by hand was one night too much. Thanks mate
Ha ha, I hear you! When ours stopped, I also only had to wash the dishes once and thought "I've gotta get this fixed - pronto!" 😂 Glad you got yours going, disaster averted! 😀 cheers, Phil
Fantastic well put together video. Was pulling my hair out with this issue and about to drop £500 on a new dishwasher until I found your video. All sorted in 20mins and now works a charm.
Awesome, thanks for the comment! Love it when my vid helps someone do the DIY fix and saves some money, it's why I do the videos! Cheers, Phil
Although the Neff built has slightly different access requirements, this worked a treat in the end for me, saved time, hassle and cost of a call out, much thanks!
You're welcome, thanks for taking the time to comment! 👍
Hi,
Thank you very much for your help! I followed step by step your precise instructions and I could fix my dishwasher 😁 very precious help thank you again 🙏🙏👍
Thanks so much for your taking the time to comment! 😊 I'm really happy that you got your machine running again by following the instructions! I try to show every step as clearly possible for exactly this reason! Great that it has helped you! 😎Cheers, Phil 👍
Thank you! 🤗 I bought mine second-hand and when I brought it home, and turned it on, I got E15. There was no leak but I think the float somehow wedged in during transport. Wiggled it around a bit, and now it works. This video was super useful! Thank you!
Cool! Glad you got it going again. 😊Great when it is something simple like that. 👍
Thanks a million - very easy to follow and it fixed the E15 problem in our 12 year old Siemens dishwasher!!
Great to hear! Hopefully a good few years left in your dishwasher yet! 👍
Brilliant video. Very detailed, calming and clear instructions. I’ve got the integrated version but was still clear to follow. Sorted out my problem proper! Thank you.
Only thing I’d add to your instructions is to keep the screws aside in order or position they come out. All good though. Thank you.
ah, that's a good tip about the screws! Sounds like you are pretty handy at diy 👍 glad the vid helped you fix it. Cheers, Phil
This was so well explained and demonstrated, thank you! The one additional bit I'd add is that for units with the hidden controls (top of the door) there are 3 screws inside the handle that need to come out for the door panel to pop off. Thanks for a great guide!
Thanks! Yes, I heard later that some models had additional screws but had no idea where! Glad the video got you on the right track and you did well to spot the additional screws on your model 👍😊 cheers, Phil
Great video! And agree, my Bosch series 800 required removal of those 3 screws - and a side note, my door cover had to be shifted/pulled downward (NOT horizontally straight out), because there are some downward facing metal flanges on the bottom of the control unit at the top, that fit into the top of the cover.
@@meeko1423 yes my Bosch 800 has the 2 red blastic peace’s hold the door panel that I don’t know how to reassemble it
Thanks for the informative video. I used the video as a guide to repair my Siemens dishwasher after getting E15 error code. i think my leak was caused by the lower edge door seal being squashed in along more than half its length. I managed to push it out from the other side since the door was off using the blunt handle of a knife.
One observation - when sponging out the accumalated liquid it is better to lower the dishwasher of the blocks! And when the door came of some of the plastic locating tabs broke. In any case I saved £100+ on an official technician visit!
Sounds like you had a few more problems going on than most but well done working through them. Thanks for the info above, if I have to tackle the job again, I might try things a little differently 👍 Cheers, Phil
Simple and clear instructions. If all tutorial videos were like this! Thanks for it! Already subscribed to the channel!
Thank you very much, great to have you along as a subscriber 👍😀 Cheers, Phil
Extremely helpful and clear video; the only minor gripe that I have is that getting the door back was a real beggar of a job -after about half an hour of not getting it back on, I had lunch and it went back on in about 30 seconds. This was probably my fault for over-thinking it. There are tabs on the underside of the control panel and once those are lined up, it's easy.
You did the right thing to walk away and come back later. It's amazing how often you do something difficult straight away when you come back to it!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Dishwasher is fixed for now. It was very easy to follow and had it sorted in no time
Glad it helped! 👍😎
Thank you very much. It helped a lot to fix my 6 month old Bosch Dishwasher. Very very helpful video. Long live fixit and sustainability 🙂
@playhome100 Wow, you must have been upset when it stopped after only 6 months! Make sure you give the door seal a clean every few months and hopefully you won't get any further problems! Cheers, Phil
Great video. I've had this problem for ages and couldn't find any information on how to solve it until this. Cheers!
hey fantastic, glad you found the vid and got it fixed! cheers, Phil
Excellent guide! This resolved our E15 issue which rendered our dishwasher unusable for months.
Fantastic! Glad you got it going again! Cheers, Phil
Thanks a lot for this easy and instructive video! I followed it step-by-step and you saved me a lot of trouble on a Easter Monday!
Thanks! Great news you got it going again 👍
After watching this video our dishwasher was fixed perfectly. Thank you for your help. Excellent!
Cool! Good work, it's always a good feeling fixing something DIY. Cheers for your comment 👍
Nice clear instruction mate, I had the e15 this weekend and thanks to your video I got it all sorted. However I own the narrower "slim" version of the bosch machine so disconnecting the sensor was a struggle and removing the polystyrene float wasn't possible. I managed to stuff a rag in there just enough to soak up the water and get things moving again.
Really good point, access is quite restricted on the full size machine, so I think your solution is a good one for the slimline version. 👍😎
Thank you for this video. Really well explained and at a pace that suits DIYers not professionals!
@martindobby1613 Thanks very much for your comment, it's that balance that I was trying to achieve 👍
Excellent instructions. Fixed the problem and saved at least $200. Thank you for your work...
Cool! 😎 Music to my ears, glad you fixed it and saved some money. 👍 Cheers, Phil
Thanks for this video. I couldn’t have fixed our dishwasher without it. Our dishwasher varied slightly but basically the same. A second person to help with the door and hold a torch made it less of a struggle.
Thanks! Yes, it makes a big difference having a helped sometimes. Glad you got your machine going again! Cheers, Phil
Thanks for this video. Although not exactly the same model as shown (with slight differences in taking the door off and getting at the switch) it was enough to give me an understanding of what was necessary. Following your guidelines I got inside and it was as you suggested. All cleaned out and working. Thank you again.
@MikeFarrell-os1lg I suspected there might be some slight differences on other machines, well done for working through it! 👍😃
Thank you so much for this. Amazing step by step detail and machine currently running again 🤞🏼🤞🏼
I can’t thank you enough! This was exactly the issue and you made it extremely simple to fix. Save me $1000, thank you so much!
Thanks so much for your comment! Glad the video helped you 🙂
Very good guide for Quick fix- clearly explained and fine pictures of the key elements- our machine was back running within 30 min.
That's really quick work! 👍 Glad the video helped you!
Brilliant video with every step explained clearly. An E15 fault on an older Bosch appliance flashes up as 'Check Water'. I had this fault and this fix did the job. I couldn't get the blue clip off that's near the polystyrene float, so I sucked the water using a squeezy bottle.
Thank you! Thanks for the info, interesting to know that the fault is also known as a "Check Water" 👍 Cheers, Phil
Thank you for this video, I did as instructed, swabbed up the water and put everything back together and when switched back on, voilà no more error 👌still need to run a cycle though to see if there still is a leak! This saved me a packet of money so far! Thanks a lot will keep you posted if the error comes up again! 😊
Thank you, Glad it helped! Hope the error stayed away for you! Cheers, Phil
Many thanks. All worked perfectly - Definitely a "man-make-fire" moment in our kitchen. Recommend you take photos when taking the bits out. I didn't, so I had to go back to the video several times to work out which way around the pieces went! - Thanks again!
Ha ha! I sometimes end up watching my own footage too for this exact reason. I used to take lots of photo's, now I'm too busy filming! Glad the video helped you! 👍
Clear and concise instructions on how to fix this irritating problem. It worked perfectly. Many thanks.
Thank you so much for the kind comment! 🙏 Glad the video helped you! 🙌
I have a built in dishwasher and it turned out that the front did not have to come off, but once I put that back on, the video was super helpful! Thank you!
Ok, sorry you had to do some extra stuff, glad you got it sorted! cheers, Phil
Thank you! Your video helped my wife and I get our dashwasher back up and running.
Sounds like some good teamwork going on! Glad the video helped you and thanks for posting 👍
Just fixed my dishwasher with a e15. Slightly different as it was built in and the two middle screws of the three you mentioned helditpartly in place. Two other long crews at the toof the panel held the upper part of the door in place and needed to be removed. Great video saved me £150 in getting ”a man” in cheers /Stephen
@stephenparish9273 Good work! Looks like you had a few differences on your machine but glad the video managed to give you the outline of what was required. Cheers, Phil
Thank you for your extremely clear and comprehensive video. Took me around half an hour to clear the fault on my eight year old Siemens dishwasher. Would have been quicker but I inevitably had to find my torx bits!
ray and as I did yesterday and today, have a cold beer in between ;) hard labour deserves a reward-on a serious note can you look at my comment above,do you have any idea what that little knob thing is that drips?, it's under the filter and right above the polystyrene floater ,after i got the machine going I watched and it dripped every 10 seconds or so
Thank you! Always keep the torx bits handy! 😂
Good man! Thanks for providing such a clear guide, I really appreciate it!
Hey no probs! Thanks for your comment 🙏 glad you liked the video and it helped! 👍
Awesome!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Definitely save me money getting an engineer out.
ATVB,
Steve. 👍👍
Cool! 😎 Glad the video helped you! It’s always a nice feeling to diy fix something and save some money along the way! Thanks for commenting!
Brilliant video. Nice simple clear instructions, worked a treat and saved me a small fortune! Subscribed and thank you for such great content, Leo 😀👍
Thanks for commenting, great that the video helped you and yes, it's always nice to DIY a job, get a good result and save some money! Cheers, Phil
Worked a treat. Decided not to remove the sensor as it was very tightly held in place. Drying out worked just as well without that step. Thank you for your excellent guide and explanation.
That's such a great idea. In hindsight, I probably wouldn't remove mine either, as long as there is access to dab away the water. Only reason to remove would be if you suspected the float wasn't moving freely and wanted to clean it...
I was thinking exactly the same and will do it as well
Thank you so much. Just brilliant. You have fixed our dishwasher. Very straightforward instructions.
Fantastic! Glad the fix worked for you! Thanks, Phil
Nice fix, worked for me and my model looks the same, I’d only add that additional cleaning from the back of the door seal was necessary (it’s invisible from the front on newer models), and the float switch is super awkward/impossible to remove by hand, so tipping out rear wards was needed, which actually shortens the whole fix and reduces risk of damage to the polystyrene float. Thankyou!
Yes, that float switch was awkward for me too. I think if you have the space, then tilting the machine back to get the water out as you suggest or patiently sponging it out would be easier and faster. 👍
It worked! My safety water float had disintegrated so had to replace. As it is a generic part, I had to trim it to size to fit back in - I used a compass and pencil to measure and kitchen scissors to cut. Thanks for the solution. 🙌🏾🙌🏾
oh wow, good work trimming a new float 👍 Glad the vid pointed you in the right direction. Cheers, Phil
Thank you. Husband fixed our Bosch 800 after watching this video. No more E15 code!
Excellent! Well done hubby! 😎
Thank you for such a straightforward video. Followed the instructions and now back up and running. I did have a few issues putting the door cover back on. The white plastic spacer s fellout and i struggled to work out where they go . For refererence foranyone with the same problem over the door hinge at the botton with the top of the spacer just below the bottom screw hole. Thanks again, absolutely brilliant instrictions.
Thanks for the write up above, yes, I should have shown the spacers in the vid! I suspect it didn’t fall out for me but I now know it is a potential issue! Cheers, Phil
Just wanted to thank you for the dishwasher fix video, it worked tremendously it actually saved us from buying a new dishwasher and i have a very happy wife. So thanks again Cheers 🙏😁
Hi @brianslaughter1151 Happy wife, happy life! 😄 Well done fixing it, really glad the video helped you and thanks for your comment! 👍
Absolutely A1 video. Thank you so much! Problem fixed within an hour thanks to your detailed video (and I'm not a particularly keen or confident DIY'er 😁). Now just got to retrain the family on how to load the dishwasher to ensure the door always shuts and seals properly as that was the cause of my E15 - that's not going to be as easy a job though. Thanks again!!
Thank you! Ah ha, rogue family members! Make them all watch my video as penance! 😎
Just done this at home on my Neff. We had velcro on the door. But yipee. Fixed it. Thanks such a great well explained vid.
No probs at all, great to hear you got it fixed! 👍
Brilliant video, thank you so much for uploading this as it helped me fix my neff dishwasher first time, credit to your clear instructions
Thanks so much! Glad the vid helped! 😀
Legend mate! You got me back up and running, cheers
Thank you so much. This video helped me so much my washer has finally worked after 2 months , I really appreciate it 🌹🌹🌹
@sarazerrouk1889 Thanks you, no probs at all! Well done for fixing it 👍
Thanks for all you help. I cleaned all water amd wast filters cleared up any waste water and reassembled filters etc. The Water Light was still on. It doesnt mention anywhere in the manual that you need to reset the fault condition by powering on/off and holding down the start button for at least 10 seconds. Jod done!
Hi Mark, Thanks a lot for your comment! My machine didn't ask for a reset, it just worked once the leak was fixed and the water removed. Will Pin your comment to help others! 👍
Really very clear explanation, thank you. I had this problem triggered I think by a blocked drain pump, and having cleared the pump blockage I would never have thought to check the bottom of the machine like this to clear the error code.
Glad the vid helped, good work with the pump 👍
Thank you very much for this helpful video. Dishwasher fixed ... up and running. Took me a little over 45 mins... Much appreciated
Thanks you! Great to hear! Good to hear another machine is up and running again - good work! 👍 Thanks, Phil
