E15 error bosch,neff,Siemens dishwasher

[grazzamongrel]

Hey I constantly come.across the E15 error which as we all know is water in the base and flood mode activated. But when I look at them I cannot for the life of me see the cause.

So I am hoping you guys can point me in the right direction.

thanks Graham

Common leakage points:
Plastic tub models: Tub seam, heater/pump unit, upper door seal
Stainless steel models: Sump seal, heater/pump unit

I will attend an E15 and find the smallest amount of water but can rarely identify the source of the leak. I have found a few times the waste hose seal failed where it enters the water matrix on the side to be the cause. But other times when running it I can’t see a single drop of water and obviously don’t want to mislead the customer by guessing at faulty parts as cost of them is slowly increasing. I can spot the plastic base faults and easy to see the base has expanded and food waste sitting on top of seals with very dirty water in base activating the flood switch.

But I need some ideas where to look when plastic base isn’t at fault and no obvious leaks to be seen.

Any help greatly appreciated

The other leak point that I have seen a few of is the seal between the water matrix and the vent in the side of the tank.

A lot of the time just tightening the screws around the sump has sorted this for me, other wise usually one of the faults already stated
