Bosch Dishwasher E24 Error Code
Bosch says E24 means the dishwasher is not draining, usually because the filter is blocked. E25 means the drain pump itself is blocked, or its cover is loose or missing. Also shown as E25 on some models.

Step 1
What usually causes E24
Most common first. In my experience the first one or two on this list account for most Bosch E24 calls.
- 1. Clogged filter or debris in the sump
- 2. Blocked or kinked drain hose
- 3. Garbage disposal knockout plug never removed
- 4. Drain pump cover loose or missing
- 5. Failed drain pump
Step 2
What to try before you call
Safe things a homeowner can do. Unplug the dishwasher before reaching into anything.
- Remove the lower rack, twist out the filter and rinse it clean.
- With the filter out, pop off the drain pump cover, remove any glass or debris from the impeller and snap the cover back until it clicks.
- Check the drain hose under the sink for kinks. On a new disposal, confirm the knockout plug was removed.
- Reset the dishwasher and run a rinse cycle.
Step 3
When to stop and call a technician
The filter, pump area and hose are clear and the dishwasher still leaves standing water. At that point the fix is usually a part, and guessing at parts gets expensive fast. I test first, then quote, so you only pay for what is actually broken.

Questions
Bosch E24 questions
How do I clear the E24 code on my Bosch dishwasher?
Fix the cause first, then unplug the dishwasher (or turn it off at the breaker) for about a minute and restart. The code clears once the dishwasher no longer sees the problem. If it comes right back, the cause is still there.
Is E24 the same as E25?
Yes. Bosch uses different displays on different model years, so the same problem shows up as E24 on some machines and E25 on others. The fix is the same.
Is a Bosch dishwasher with a E24 error worth repairing?
Usually yes. Drain pump and similar parts cost a fraction of a new dishwasher. I tell you the price before any work starts, and if a repair is not worth it I say so.
Can you come out today for a Bosch E24 error in Rockwall?
Most days, yes. I carry common Bosch parts on the truck, so many E24 repairs are done in one visit. Call or text (469) 446-4242 with your model number.
