Bosch Dishwasher E14 Error: Flow Meter or Filling Problem
Short answer: E14 on a Bosch dishwasher means a flow-meter failure or a problem with water filling the dishwasher (E3000 on newer displays). Check that the water supply valve is open and the inlet hose is not kinked, reset power for 30 seconds, and call Bosch if E14 persists.
What E14 means
Bosch describes E14 as a flow-meter failure or an issue with water entering the dishwasher or its filling system. It is not evidence that a valve or flow meter can be swapped without checking the E-Nr.
Primary reference: Bosch US dishwasher error-code index.
Safe checks
- Confirm the code and model/E-Nr.
- Check that the household water tap is open and the visible inlet hose is not kinked. Do not disconnect a pressurized hose.
- Reset power for 30 seconds if safe, following Bosch's published guidance.
- If E14 returns or the appliance cannot fill, turn off the water supply and arrange Bosch service.
When to stop
Stop for a wet connection, damaged hose, flooding or an inaccessible shutoff. Do not remove the inlet valve or use a mains tester at the appliance.
