Bosch error codes and help

Bosch codes usually show as E followed by two digits. Some models show F instead of E (E18 or F18), and older UK manuals print them as F:18.

Shared code families

Bosch, Neff and Siemens dishwashers share BSH platforms. Verify each brand separately before publishing; do not assume identical meanings.

Where sources disagree

For E24, Bosch’s own pages don’t all say the same thing. Those pages explain the difference and give the safest set of checks.

Finding your model number

Many Bosch codes depend on the model. The model and serial number are printed on the appliance’s rating label. Your manual shows exactly where it is. Have both ready before you contact Bosch or an engineer.
