Bosch Appliance Repair Near Me in The Colony, TX
A Bosch dishwasher is built with its controls, its plumbing, and its pumps tucked behind a flush front, so a fault rarely shows itself. What you get is a code that starts with E, a cycle that stops, or dishes that come out wet. We repair Bosch dishwashers, washers, dryers, refrigerators, ovens, and cooktops in The Colony and nearby cities.
Bosch appliances are made by BSH, which began in 1967 as a joint venture between Robert Bosch and Siemens. Bosch became the sole owner in January 2015. BSH also owns Thermador, and our Thermador repair page covers that sister brand.
Tell us the appliance and the model number when you call. Bosch calls the model number the E Nr. If you have not found it yet, our guide to finding your Bosch model number shows the usual spots.
What you get with every Bosch call
- Your call goes to a person who books the next visit.
- We note the exact E code and when in the cycle it appeared.
- We check water, drain, and power before we replace a part.
- We give you the price first, and you say yes or no.
- We show you the part that failed and what it did.
- You get our real opinion on repair or replace.
Many Bosch codes describe a simple cause. A blocked filter, a loose pump cover, a kinked inlet hose, or a disposal plug that was never punched out can all stop a dishwasher cold. We check those first, because they cost the least and take the least time.
Bosch Dishwasher Error Codes: What E09, E15, E22, E24, E25, and E27 Mean
Bosch codes point to a system, not always a part. Here is what Bosch says each one means and what we test behind it.
| Code | What it means | What we check |
|---|---|---|
| E09 or E20 | A heat pump internal heater fault. | The heater circuit, the heat pump, and the control board. |
| E12 | Limescale has built up in the heat pump. | Scale in the heat pump, then the sensor that reads it. |
| E15 | Water was found in the base, and leakage protection is active. | Base pan, hoses, door seal, and the leak switch. |
| E22 | The dishwasher filter is blocked. | The filter, the sump, and the circulation path. |
| E24 | Not draining because the drain filter is blocked. | Filter, drain hose, pump cover, and the disposal plug. |
| E25 | The drain pump is blocked, or its cover is loose or missing. | The pump cover, debris in the pump, and the pump itself. |
| E27 | The house power supply is too low. | Incoming voltage, the outlet, and the breaker. |
| E16, E17, or E18 | Water is not entering, or the water level is too low. | Faucet, inlet hose, inlet valve, and flow meter. |
| E07 or E10 | A Crystal Dry fan or chamber heater fault. | The zeolite fan, the chamber heater, and the control. |
| H01 | Not a fault. The start delay timer is set to one hour. | Nothing to repair. The plus or minus button clears the delay. |
Meanings are drawn from Bosch support pages. A model specific code may appear only in your manual.
For many control and heater codes, Bosch says to switch the breaker off for 30 seconds and call support if the code returns. Some models show longer four digit versions of the same codes, such as E2030 for E20. A code that comes back after a reset means a real fault.
Take a picture of the display before you reset anything. Tell us whether the code showed up during the wash, the drain, or the dry. A code that shows up at the end of a cycle often points to drying, and one at the start often points to water.
Common Bosch Problems and How We Fix Them
Here is what tends to fail on a Bosch, in eight entries, each with the signs and the fix we use.
Where Bosch faults usually start
- Dishwasher
- Drain pump, heat pump, inlet valve, door latch, and detergent dispenser.
- Washer
- Drain pump, door lock, inlet valve, and drum bearings.
- Dryer
- Heating element, condenser or vent path, thermal fuse, and belt.
- Refrigerator
- Evaporator fan, defrost system, ice maker, and water inlet valve.
- Wall oven
- Bake and broil elements, temperature sensor, door lock, and the control.
- Cooktop
- Burner switches, igniters, and radiant or induction elements.
Dishwasher will not drain
Water stays in the tub, or the display shows E24 or E25.
- Likely cause
- A blocked filter, a loose pump cover, a kinked hose, a disposal plug that was never removed, or a worn pump.
- Our fix
- We clean the filter, check the cover and the hose, confirm the disposal plug is out, and then test the pump.
Dishes come out wet
The cycle ends, but plates and glasses are wet, or a heat pump or Crystal Dry code appears.
- Likely cause
- A heater fault, a weak drying fan, or scale in the heat pump.
- Our fix
- We ask which drying system you have, then test the heaters, the fan, and the heat pump.
Dishwasher cleans poorly
Food stays on the dishes, or E22 appears.
- Likely cause
- A blocked filter, a clogged spray arm, or low circulation.
- Our fix
- We clean the filter and the arms, then check the circulation path.
Dishwasher does not take in water
Nothing enters the tub, or the display shows E16, E17, or E18.
- Likely cause
- A closed supply valve, a kinked inlet hose, a clogged screen, or a failed inlet valve.
- Our fix
- Valve and hose first, then the screen, then the inlet valve.
Leak protection triggers
The dishwasher stops and E15 appears.
- Likely cause
- Water in the base from a loose hose, a worn door seal, or a leaking pump.
- Our fix
- We shut off the water, find the source of the leak, and repair it before the dishwasher runs again.
Scale in the heat pump
E12 appears, or the cycle runs long with poor drying.
- Likely cause
- Limescale from hard water.
- Our fix
- We descale the heat pump, check the water softener setting, and explain how to prevent a repeat.
Door will not latch
The door closes, but the cycle will not start, or an E06 appears.
- Likely cause
- A worn latch, a door sensor fault, or a control fault.
- Our fix
- We test the latch and the sensor, then the control board.
Detergent door will not open
Tablets sit in the dispenser after the cycle, or E19 appears.
- Likely cause
- A failed dispenser solenoid or a stuck door.
- Our fix
- We free the door and test the solenoid circuit before replacing the dispenser.
Hard water is common in North Texas, and it leaves scale on a heat pump, a heater, and an inlet screen. If you notice longer cycles or wet dishes, ask us about descaling before a code appears. A small amount of care can spare a larger repair.
Each appliance has its own guide: dishwasher repair, washer repair, refrigerator repair, and oven repair.
Bosch Heat Pump and Crystal Dry: The Parts Behind Drying Codes
Many Bosch dishwashers dry with a heat pump or with Crystal Dry. Both add parts that older dishwashers never had, and both have their own codes.
Crystal Dry uses a mineral called zeolite to pull moisture out of the air inside the tub. A heat pump moves heat around the wash water. These systems add a chamber, a fan, and heaters to the dishwasher, and Bosch lists separate codes for them, such as E07, E09, E10, and E20.
A drying fault can look like a washing fault. Wet dishes after the cycle, a long cycle time, or a code that names the heat pump or the Crystal Dry chamber all point to drying. They do not point to the drain pump or the spray arms. We ask which drying system you have, because it changes what we test.
Bosch lists E12 as limescale in the heat pump and suggests descaling with Bosch descaler, plus softening salt if the model has a softener. In a hard water area that is a code we take seriously, and descaling early costs less than replacing a part.
Leak alert. Bosch lists E15 as water detected in the base of the dishwasher, with leakage protection active. Turn off the water supply and do not run the dishwasher again until it has been checked.

- The exact E code, or the symbols you see on the display.

How to Find Your Bosch Model Number
The model number, which Bosch calls the E Nr, tells us which parts and which code list apply to your Bosch. Tag spots vary by appliance. The usual ones, based on Bosch guidance, are listed below.
Where the model tag usually sits
- Dishwasher
- On the side edge of the door, visible when it is open.
- Washer
- On the door frame or the back of the door, visible when it is open.
- Dryer
- Inside the door opening, below the glass.
- Refrigerator
- Inside the fresh food section, on a side wall.
- Wall oven
- On the left side of the cavity trim, with the door open.
- Range
- On the oven frame or the frame of the storage drawer.
- Cooktop
- On the underside of the cooktop, usually toward the front.
- Microwave
- On the door frame or the side of the cavity.
- Range hood
- Behind the filter or on the inside of the hood body.
The Bosch model finder shows a diagram for each appliance category, and a few tags sit behind trim or drawers. A flashlight and a phone photo make the tag easier to read. Read us the number.
No tag, or one too worn to read? Give us the type, the style, and the approximate age. We confirm the model on arrival, and only then do we order parts.
Bosch Dishwasher Not Working? Six Checks Before You Call
None of these checks needs special equipment. Give them fifteen minutes, and note what you find in case you still need us.
Reset the breaker for 30 seconds
Switch the dishwasher breaker off for 30 seconds, then back on. Bosch suggests this for many control and heater codes. Note whether the same code returns.
Next: Same code again? Write it down and call us.
Clean the filter
Twist out the filter, rinse it under running water with mild soap and a soft brush, and set it back firmly. A blocked filter is behind E22 and also behind a drain code.
Next: A clean filter and still a code points to the drain path.
Check the pump cover and the drain
Look at the pump cover in the base and confirm it is seated. Take care with sharp debris. If a garbage disposal is connected, make sure the plug was removed from its dishwasher inlet.
Next: Cover seated, plug out, and water still standing? The pump needs a test.
Check the supply valve and inlet hose
Open the supply valve fully and look for kinks in the inlet hose. A dishwasher that senses no water will show a fill code such as E16, E17, or E18.
Next: Valve open, hose straight, and still dry? The inlet valve is next.
Look for water in the base
If the display shows E15, turn off the water supply and unplug the dishwasher or switch off its breaker. Look for a loose hose or a wet floor. Do not run another cycle.
Next: Any leak means a technician should find the source before the next cycle.
Check the delay timer
H01, H02, and similar readings are not faults. They show the start delay timer. Press the plus or minus button until the display returns to the normal reading.
Next: Delay cleared and nothing else wrong? Then it needs no repair.
Safety first. Do not run a dishwasher that has water in its base. Switch off its breaker before you reach into the pump area, and watch for sharp debris. Smell burning, or see smoke? Cut power and call us.

Bosch Repair or Replace? How to Weigh a Built In Dishwasher
A built in dishwasher swaps easily in some kitchens and not in others. We help you weigh both sides before you decide.
A dishwasher that ties into cabinets, a water line, a drain, and a power connection takes real effort to replace, and a new unit may not match your cutout or your panel. That is a fair reason to look hard at repair, especially when the code points to a filter, a pump, or a valve.
Some failures end the discussion: a cracked tub, a rusted base, or a control and heat pump that have both failed on an old unit. You will get a direct answer. A replacement brings us no profit, so there is nothing to push.
From Phone Call to Fixed Bosch: Four Steps
Here is how a Bosch repair goes, from the first call to a dishwasher or appliance that works again.
Tell us what the display shows
Read us the E code or describe the symbols, and tell us which part of the cycle it happens in. Give us the model number if you have it. A person picks up and books the soonest opening.
We test water, drain, and power
The technician checks the supply, the drain path, the filter, and the incoming power first, then tests the part named by the code.
No work before your approval
The cause, the part price, and the labor are explained in plain words. You decide, and we start only on your yes.
Fix it, test it, explain it
The repair ends with a test run. We confirm the fault is gone and tell you how to look after the appliance.
Have this ready for your call
- The E Nr from the tag, or a photo of it.
- The E code, and when in the cycle it appears.
- Whether a garbage disposal connects to the dishwasher.
- Whether the dishes come out wet or the cycle runs long.
- Clear access to the dishwasher and the area under the sink.
How to Keep Your Bosch Appliances Running Longer
Keep a Bosch in good shape with the routine below.
- Rinse the dishwasher filter every month or two.A blocked filter is what E22 describes.
- Make sure the pump cover is seated after any cleaning.A loose or missing cover is one cause of E25.
- Descale as the manual directs.Scale builds up in the heat pump, and E12 reports it.
- Stick to detergent made for dishwashers.Dish soap makes suds, and suds slow the drain.
- Scrape bones and shells before loading.Hard debris cuts into the drain pump.
- Check the disposal plug on any new install.A plug left in place blocks the drain.
- Do not block the spray arms.A tall pan can stop an arm from turning and leave dishes dirty.
- Check the inlet hose once a year.Look for kinks, bulges, or drips under the sink.

What does E24 mean on a Bosch dishwasher?
Bosch lists E24 as not draining because of a blocked drain filter. Clean the filter, check the inlet hose, and make sure the pump cover is seated. If a garbage disposal is connected, remove the plug from the dishwasher inlet. See our dishwasher repair page.
What does E15 mean on a Bosch dishwasher?
Bosch lists E15 as water detected in the base, with leakage protection active. Turn off the water supply and do not keep running the dishwasher. A technician needs to find the source of the leak.
What does E22 mean on a Bosch dishwasher?
E22 means the dishwasher filter is blocked. Remove the filter, rinse it under running water with mild soap and a soft brush, and set it back firmly. If the code returns, the circulation path needs a test.
What does E25 mean on a Bosch dishwasher?
Bosch lists E25 as a blocked drain pump, or a pump cover that is loose or missing. Check that the cover is seated, remove debris with care, and clear standing water. If the code stays, the pump needs a test.
What do E09 and E20 mean on a Bosch dishwasher?
Bosch lists both as a heat pump internal heater fault. Switch off the breaker for 30 seconds and restart. If the code comes back, the heater circuit and the control board need a test.
What does H01 mean on a Bosch dishwasher?
It is not a fault. H01 means the start delay timer is set to one hour, H02 means two hours, and so on. Press the plus or minus button until the display returns to normal.
Why are my dishes wet after a Bosch cycle?
Many Bosch dishwashers dry with a heat pump or Crystal Dry rather than a heating element. Wet dishes, long cycles, or a drying code point to the heater, the fan, or scale in the heat pump. See the drying guide above.
Where is the model number on my Bosch?
Bosch calls it the E Nr. On a dishwasher it is usually on the side edge of the open door. Washers carry it on the door frame, and wall ovens along the cavity trim. See our model number guide.
Do independent repairs void a Bosch warranty?
It might. The safest step is to read your warranty. Once the coverage has ended, we are glad to help, and we are independent of Bosch.
Will Bosch repair cost a lot?
It depends on the part and the labor, and we do not guess. You get the exact price after testing, and work starts only on your approval.
Is Bosch the same as Thermador?
They are separate brands under the same parent. BSH, which began as a Bosch and Siemens joint venture in 1967, bought Thermador in 1998. Some designs overlap, and the model number decides which part fits. See our Thermador repair page.
Is it worth repairing a Bosch dishwasher?
Plenty of repairs pay off, mostly on newer units. If one does not make sense, we do not push it, and you hear our true opinion first.
