Bosch Dishwasher E14 Error Code

Bosch identifies E14 as a flow-meter failure or a water-inflow / filling-system issue and directs owners to Customer Support rather than internal flow-meter diagnosis.

Applies to Bosch dishwasher whose exact model documentation uses the listed display

What the appliance detected

Detected condition

The dishwasher reports a flow-meter failure or a water-inflow / filling-system issue.

What may contribute

Possible causes

  • The control system detected a flow-meter or fill-system condition.
  • The water-inflow system, sensor, connection, or control may require professional diagnosis.

Start conservatively

Safe preliminary checks

Work in order and stop whenever a step is not supported by the documentation for your model.

  1. Record the exact display and model

    • Photograph the display before clearing E14 and confirm every character.
    • Confirm the full Bosch E-Nr / model number because codes and supported reset procedures can vary by series.

  2. Use only Bosch-documented exterior checks

    • Confirm the visible inlet hose is not crushed or kinked and that the water shutoff is open if both can be checked safely without moving the dishwasher.
    • Do not remove the dishwasher, disconnect plumbing, or test the flow meter or inlet valve electrically.

  3. Stop at the service boundary

    • If the code remains or returns after the documented check, contact Bosch Customer Support or qualified appliance service.
    • Do not pull the dishwasher apart to reach pumps, heaters, control boards, sensors, wiring, or other internal components.

Actions not recommended

  • Do not test live voltage, remove electrical covers, or access the control board.
  • Do not bypass door, leak, heater, or other safety controls.
  • Do not replace a pump, heater, sensor, dispenser, wiring harness, or control board from the code alone.

When to stop and request service

  • E14 is displayed and remains after safe visible supply checks.
  • There is a leak, no water entry, or repeated fill interruption.
  • Any flow-meter, valve, internal hose, wiring, or control diagnosis is required.
