Leak Prevention

Leak Prevention & AquaStop Float Switch Resolution

E15 and similar leak-detected codes trip the AquaStop float switch and stop the dishwasher mid cycle. We diagnose the true source (tub gasket, hose clamp, drain pump seal, or overflow reservoir), fix the leak, drain the base pan, and reset the float so your dishwasher runs full cycles again.

Dishwasher Repair Questions Answered

Quick answers to what Des Moines homeowners ask most.

What does a Bosch dishwasher E15 error code mean and how is it fixed?
The E15 error code means the dishwasher's safety float switch has detected water pooling in the internal base pan, activating the leak protection system. This is resolved by removing the unit, draining the base pan, and replacing the faulty tub gasket, water inlet valve, or leaking sump seal that caused the overflow.
Why is my dishwasher not draining water out of the bottom of the tub?
Dishwasher drainage failures are typically caused by a clogged drain filtration mesh, a blocked food disposer connection, or a failing drain pump motor. If you recently installed a new garbage disposal under the sink, ensure the plastic drain plug inside the disposal port was completely knocked out.
Why are my dishes coming out cloudy or with white film after a full cycle?
Cloudy dishes are usually the result of hard water mineral buildup, insufficient water heating, or a blocked spray arm assembly. If the water heating element fails to reach optimal grease-clearing temperatures (usually 120°F to 140°F), detergent cannot dissolve completely and leaves a heavy residue behind.
What causes a dishwasher to leak water from the bottom of the door?
Door leaks are almost always caused by a torn, warped, or food-encrusted rubber door gasket seal. If the door seal is clean and intact, the leak could be due to a cracked lower spray arm assembly that is spraying water directly against the bottom edge of the door.
