E15 — Leak protection

Leak protection — water has collected in the base pan and tripped the float switch.

Common causes

  • Excess suds from the wrong detergent
  • Leaking hose, pump or seal
  • Overfilled rinse aid

Try this first

  • Turn off the power, tilt the dishwasher back slightly (carefully) to let the float drop, and let the base dry for a day

When to call: If E15 returns, there's a real leak — we'll find and fix it before it damages your floor.

E24 — Drain hose or filter blocked

Drain hose or filter blocked — water can't drain.

Common causes

  • Clogged filter
  • Kinked drain hose
  • Blocked garbage-disposal inlet (a new disposal's knockout plug)

Try this first

  • Clean the filter
  • Run the disposal
  • Check the drain hose under the sink

When to call: If it's still not draining, the hose or pump needs attention.

E25 — Drain pump blocked

Drain pump blocked.

Common causes

  • Debris in the pump cover (glass, seeds, labels)

Try this first

  • Remove the filter, then the small pump cover underneath with a spoon handle, and remove debris (carefully — watch for glass)

When to call: If the impeller is damaged, we'll replace the pump.

E22 — Filters clogged

Filters clogged.

Common causes

  • Food debris and hard-water scale in the filter

Try this first

  • Remove and rinse the filter assembly

When to call: Rarely needs service.

E09 — Heating problem

Heating problem.

Common causes

  • Failed heating element or circulation pump heater

Try this first

  • None — it's an electrical fault

When to call: Requires a technician.

How to reset

To reset, press and hold Start for about 3–5 seconds until the dishwasher drains and resets, or switch off the breaker for a minute.
