Bosch Dishwasher Error Message E14

How to replace the flow sensor reed switch.

[@timlucas2778]

Fantastically helpful. Has saved me from throwing away a perfectly good dishwasher. Thank you.

Hi John, Many thanks for this video. Saved me a lot of money and the dishwasher works again after replacing the flowsensor (reed contact). Yes, the reed contact comes in a package😅 we don't need the plastic cover. Just remove from the package and install.🎉 Thx again.

Dude !!!!! Thanks so much. You just saved my old one that was from 2009. I’m not a DIY guy at all but this was so easy to change. For £22 you saved me 400+ and a lot of raw material saved for the planet. Thanks !!!

Nice one John, You're video saved me from a lot of head scratching so thank you.

Class wee video.... Fair play to. You.. 😊

[@nianbrindle92]

Thank you! Very helpful. Currently getting E14 error, so will order replacement flow sensor and have a go!

I've written this elsewhere on KZbin, but it is possible to replace just the reed switch itself. I bought one for less than £2 and swapped it for the one that's on the little piece of white circuit board that you replaced. It needs soldering of course, but isn't a difficult fix.

Hi. Do you have details of the component that wouldn’t mind sharing ? I was also thinking about this instead of spending £15 . Thanks.

[@CaptSlog]

@@MarshallsMusic I'd share if I could, but it was a while ago because the component came from Maplins, and they closed the stores in 2018. What i can tell you is that the reed switch was a little glass envelope job and was about 2cm long not including the leads. It might have been smaller than that. I think it was 'normally open' but can't be sure.

i got the part today fitted it works Prefect now. Thank you very much.

[@jamesbird5380]

Great video and extremely useful. I already had the replacement part but, as you suggest, had been confused by the plastic packaging. Switch now replaced and appliance back to working order. Thanks!

[@Airstream32]

Very helpful. Symptoms E14 on Short wash and E18 on Normal wash and halted mid-cycle. Replaced the flow sensor / reed switch circuit board and now appears to be working.

[@markng899]

Same error codes happened for me. The water intake and plumbing was all good. Switches the reed switch and no more e14 and e18 error codes anymore

[@vibehigh690]

Does water hardness play any role in E14 error ?

[@ernestenefey4277]

Thank you very much for that it was a big help. I have ordered the part fingers crossed🤞 🤞

[@tops1441]

Where have u ordered the part from ?

[@ablewilling2778]

Thank you SOOO much! Easy and you saved me hundreds of dollars 🙏

[@trevskiyoung4984]

Great video most helpfull thank you for taking the time to share this online 👍👏

[@joycestewart9488]

Thank you had an E14 error and sent for part and managed to replace part thanks to your video.

[@joelucky3570]

I DON'T THINK IT IS JUST A PACKAGE. THE MANUFACTURER WOULDN'T HAVE GOT TO SUCH A GREAT LENGTH JUST FOR A PACKAGE. I THINK THAT AS IT STANDS THERE, IT IS INTENDED FOR ANOTHER MACHINE BRAND. IT JUST HAPPENS THAT THE REED SWITCH AND LITTLE BOARD IS THE SAME AS THE ONE USED ON THE BOSCH MACHINE.

[@vibehigh690]

What is the reason for frequent E14 error on dishwasher.. i replaced the inlet chamber twice and now again getting the error... Technician complains on water hardness..... Wat are your thoughts on a 600ppm TDS water hardness...to me it looks normal...

[@vibehigh690]

Does water hardness play any role in E14 error ??

[@Danidasanic]

Do you know anything about the reed switch that they use ? Part number or specs of the switch it self

[@christinemastorides6344]

Just wondering if this part will fit any Bosch dishwasher with the E-14 error code? Thanks

[@gabrielramonoliver7684]

Muchas gracias por el video. El lavavajillas Bosch (SMS58M08EU/02) tenía el error E14. Marcaba el indicador del grifo y el error E14. Fue cambiar el contacto dosificador del caudalímetro y ya funciona. (me costó 25.35€ iva incluido)

[@polopo1125]

Hi I'm currently fixing the same problem but I don't really know how to look the part? Could you help me with a shop/link please? Thank you!

[@jackx1990]

Hi John, did this fix your problem?

[@tanluong93]

Hi Sir, I’m from Vietnam. Thank you for your video! is it the same for model SMS63L08EA (made in Turkey).

[@tanluong93]

The E14 error appears after the process is done.

[@GALAXYHUNTER]

Be careful with the glass reed switch pipe while handling, once it's broken humidity can get inside and corrode the paddles.

[@Bramasaurus]

OMG, surely people didn't think that the packaging also had to be installed? If so, please don't try and fix yourself.

[@jonogamblin5668]

Why would they provide such an extra piece of plastic with that shape if only for packaging... It would cause confusion to most people. And a total waste of the earth's resources
