Each step comes from Thermador's own guidance for E15 on its dishwashers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Close the water supply to the dishwasher before anything else.
Keep the dishwasher switched off until the water in the base is explained.
Book a visit so the source can be found and the base dried before the next load.
What not to do
Do not treat E15 as a reset-and-forget code; Thermador's instruction is to shut off the water first.
