Bosch E24 Dishwasher Error: Drainage

Error Guide · 2025-09-10

Panel-ready dishwasher diagnostic visit in Southampton

E24 on a Bosch dishwasher is a drainage fault. Water is not draining within the expected time, usually because the filter is clogged, the drain hose is blocked, or the drain pump is failing.

The fix is to clear the entire drain path, from the filter to the hose to the pump, and replace the pump if it has failed. A kinked or high-looped hose can also cause the code.

What We Check

  • Dishwasher E15 leak code with water in the base
  • E24 drainage fault leaving standing water
  • E22 code with dirty water not clearing
  • E09 fault with dishes not getting hot or dry

Cleaning the filter regularly is the single best way to prevent E24. Most drainage faults start as debris building up in the filter and check valve.
