Bosch dishwasher E24 error code
Dishwasher
Reviewed August 2025 · sources below
Bosch dishwasher E24 (E:24) means the drain cycle did not finish in time — water remains at the bottom after a cycle. The cylindrical filter in the tub floor and the drain hose loop under the sink are the first checks on SHPM88 and SHEM63 models. E24 after installing a new garbage disposal usually means the knockout plug was not removed.

How to fix it
- Cancel the cycle, remove the bottom rack, and twist out the filter assembly. Rinse the mesh and clear the sump.
- Confirm the drain hose has a high loop under the sink at least 20 inches above the floor — a flat hose traps water.
- If connected to a garbage disposal, verify the disposal knockout was removed when the dishwasher was installed.
- Run a rinse cycle. If E24 persists, check the drain pump impeller for glass or seed blockage.
- Replace the drain pump (00611322 on many Bosch units) only if the impeller does not spin and the path is clear.
Call a pro when: Call a pro if water leaks from the filter seal or the pump runs continuously without draining.
