# Bosch dishwasher showing E24

E24 says water is not leaving the dishwasher the way it should.

## What E24 actually means.

E24 says water is not leaving the dishwasher the way it should. Bosch points first at a jammed or loosely fitted drain pump cover, then at a kinked drain hose, then at debris in the air gap or the hose.

What to do when E24 shows on the dishwasher

### Kind of code Drain

Water did not leave the tub in the time the control expects. A clogged filter, a kinked hose or a blocked disposal inlet are ruled out before the drain pump.

### Usually leads to Drain and pump repair

Water left standing in the tub, cleared by finding where the drain path actually stops.

### Shows up as Dishwasher Not Draining

Dirty water stays in the bottom of the tub after the cycle ends.

### Make Bosch

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Bosch's own guidance for E24 on its dishwashers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Switch the dishwasher off, take out the filter and scoop out the standing water.

02

Remove the drain pump cover, clear anything caught behind it, and press it back until it clicks.

03

Check the drain hose under the sink for a kink or a sharp bend, and clean the air gap if there is one.

04

If E24 is back after a rinse cycle, book a visit so the pump and the drain path can be tested.

### Still there?

It usually turns into [drain and pump repair](https://dishwasherrepair.center/services/drain-and-pump-repair/). Book with the code and the model number.

### What not to do

A kinked hose or a blocked air gap is plumbing rather than a broken dishwasher, so E24 often clears without any part.

## Questions about E24.

### Can I clear E24 myself?

Switch the dishwasher off, take out the filter and scoop out the standing water. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### What should I check first for Bosch E24?

Bosch's own list starts with the drain pump cover, then a kinked or sharply bent drain hose, then debris in the air gap or hose. All three can be checked without tools beyond a towel and a bowl.

### When does Bosch E24 call for a technician?

If the cover is seated, the hose is straight and the air gap is clean, yet a rinse cycle still ends with E24, book a visit. At that point the pump and the drain path need testing.
