Bosch Error Code

Bosch Dishwasher E24 Error Code

If your Bosch dishwasher is showing error code E24, the control detected a fault in the drain path and stopped the cycle rather than continuing with water that isn't draining properly. E24 commonly indicates the dishwasher isn't clearing water fast enough during the drain phase of the cycle.

E24 points to the drain system broadly rather than one specific part, so a technician typically checks the drain hose, drain pump, and connection points in sequence rather than assuming one is at fault. Display format may vary by model — some Bosch units show "E24" as text, while others use a numbered flash sequence described in the manual.

Safe Checks You Can Try

A few visual checks and manufacturer-supported steps — nothing that requires opening up the appliance.

  • Check the drain hose where it's visible behind or under the dishwasher for kinks
  • Check the accessible dishwasher filter for debris and clean it if needed
  • If connected to a garbage disposal, confirm the knockout plug was removed during installation
  • Try a basic power reset per Bosch's instructions, if supported

If these checks don't resolve the issue, professional diagnosis is the next step — our technicians confirm the exact cause on-site before recommending a repair.
