When water reaches it, the machine shuts down, drains what it can and refuses to start again. In an apartment above somebody else’s ceiling that is worth a great deal — the alternative is a slow leak nobody notices for a month. It also means the code is not the problem. Something upstream is leaking, and until that is fixed and the pan is dry the machine will keep doing exactly this. ### Where the water actually comes from - The door seal, which hardens and stops sealing at the corners first - The sump and its gasket, and occasionally a cracked sump - Hose connections, particularly after a machine has been pulled out and pushed back - The inlet valve, which weeps rather than pours - The heat pump housing on the machines that have one ### The thing people do that we would rather they did not Tipping the machine backwards drains the pan and clears the lockout, and the internet is full of people recommending it. It works, in the sense that the machine runs again. Nothing has been repaired, and the next time the pan fills you may be away for the weekend. This article is based on: - Official manufacturer documentation - Internal repair procedures - Technician repair history - Company quality standards Before you book ## Questions about bosch dishwasher leak repair The sensor in the base pan has found water and shut the machine down on purpose. Turn the supply off at the valve. That code is the protection working — the leak behind it is the thing that needs finding. In the base pan, which is exactly what the design intends. The system is built to catch a slow leak before it reaches your floor, which is why the first sign is usually a machine that stops rather than a wet kitchen. No — it is reset. Tipping the machine empties the pan and clears the lockout, and the leak is still there. It will trip again, and next time it may do it while you are away.
