Bosch E14 E16 E17 E18 error code diagnosis and repair

[@jehleg]

Re E14 just a simple trick: if you haven't used the machine in a while, just knock gently against the flow meter with a tool whilst the dishwasher is running as it will release the little paddle wheel inside. Like a fan you haven't use in a while and needs a kick start with all that accumulated dust.

[@branislavradovanovic6051]

It did the trick!

[@LauraMcCullough83]

Thank you so much... This worked!

[@zkihamidovic1608]

What if the wheel is spinning but it still shows E14? i've tried removing the sensor and putting it back on, tried knocking it and it doesn't change anything ( as i already said the wheel is spinning)

[@misterp2538]

Hi. Where exactly is the flow meter? I.e where do I knock?

[@prthwy8748]

@@misterp2538 Not sure where the flow meter is... I just tapped it lightly near the base of the right-hand side panel, slightly towards the back, and it sprang back into action!

Extracting the outer water inlet filter with a pair of pliers, and cleaning it, did the trick. Many thanks!

[@hownotto4067]

Great video. Anybody on well water here in USA. I had my filter clogged on water inlet. The water inlet had broken as well. So cleaning the filter didnt even fix it. I replaced the inlet and the float switch just to be sure that it wasnt giving me the error. When i replaced those 2 parts it now works!! Super glad because they are expensive machines and ours was only 4 years old

it didnt fix my e18 but this video is impressive! its so weird why there r so few like it,in most categories. thanks for sharing,man!

[@peterking1270]

Most pleasant video I've ever needed to watch. Cheers for your help

[@brdavis]

At around 6:11, the water inlet sensor, this is the general reason for this error. It's integrated into the inlet and the most common problem is the wheel will stick. So it'll still test open with the ohmmeter. Sometimes you can tap it loose but you need to replace the whole plastic assembly because it's integrated. I found them online for about $30 US plus shipping.

It worked!! Thank you! 😊

Mate. Bloody legend. You helped heaps

[@SlBt-o6f]

Any thoughts on E17?

[@Mandic1983]

I have error e17, now I am dealing with solving the problem. E17 is a lack of water error. It could be that your water supply is interrupted or that the float sensor is not working properly. I am currently looking for a wiring diagram of the dashboard and looking for where the sensor is located

Thank you

[@thomasoconnor3736]

Not sure what this showed... did it fix somehting or just show what the side looks like?

[@juliang4266]

I was wondering why my Bosch series 4 dishwasher can run a complete cycle (tried on different settings), and then E14 error notification comes up at the very end, when the cycle has finished...?

[@alanapike]

I am having this same issue. Appears to be working fine in every respect however throwing E14 when cycle countdown gets to 1min left

[@juliang4266]

@@alanapike Thanks for your comment Alana, now I know I'm not the only one with this issue..🙏😉😁

E14 much relate to sensor flow use multimeter to cjeck valua R of this part

[@hillaryloh]

Me too! Did you ever find out what was wrong? Thanks!

[@sergei149]

@@hillaryloh Guys, replace the reed switch on the left side of the unit. (water counter). It will fix E14 100%

[@whitesheatingairappliancer7101]

Can these dishwashers be put into Diagnostics?

[@الماسةالنادرة-ج9ز]

Thanck you

[@peterfille5076]

is that it? what about the fix?how to change end does it work?

[@peterking1270]

G'day mate, which is the reed sensor? Cheers Peter

[@steveally9535]

Hi, helpful but i have a question. I have a E 16 code on my bosch 18 inch. I took it apart and wasn't sure which is the inlet valve or to fix the problem, think water keeps entering. The plastic guide on the side I dont think is shut off portion "maybe" or what about Aqua stop as bosch calls it that connects to my inlet pressure line under sink. Is this the inlet valve shut off that has electrical? Not sure if this makes sense Ty. Steve

[@ConfiscatedZyra]

google search for "exploded parts view 'your specific model'" and you'll see diagrams and labels of each part. should help identify what you're trying to look for. inlet valve is easy to find because its your hot water going to the dishwasher. you can look under your sink and should see your hot valve running one line to your sink and one line to your dishwasher. just follow that line to the dishwasher to find the inlet valve

[@Somesickmusicbo]

Followed the video. I tried the basic steps checking the hoses ect first. Nothing!! Then I did all the other steps didn't repair or change anything. Then it just started working I'll take it as a win for now

[@vincenzosorrentino8512]

Buonasera , volevo chiedere aiuto mi si accesa errore 16 sulla lavastoviglie Bosch mod. SMS53M98/II e non mi si spegne devo togliere la spina elettrica , cosa sarà successo, come eliminare il guasto grazie .

[@duaneboyle8136]

So if you had the E18 fault peeps what was the problem? This hasnt really helped me diagnose the E18 fault.

[@dimitriskarageorgopoulos3559]

Anything about E19 error ?

[@Sawickipedia]

No sorry, but the e19 is apparently related to the heat exchanger valve. So following this video will at least give you access to the valve, it's on the same side of the dishwasher as shown in this video
