What E16 means
Bosch publishes E16 and E17 together as a water-flow or filling-system issue: water may not be entering the dishwasher. They are separate code labels, so this guide keeps E16 distinct while using Bosch's shared description.
Primary reference: Bosch US dishwasher error-code index.
Safe checks
- Confirm E16 and record the model/E-Nr.
- Make sure the household water tap is open and the visible inlet hose is not kinked or crushed.
- Reset power for 30 seconds if safe, then make one start attempt.
- If the code returns, turn off the water if there is any leak and contact Bosch support. Do not disconnect the inlet hose under pressure.
When to stop
Stop for damp fittings, flooding, a damaged hose or a code that returns after the documented check. The filling valve and flow meter are not safe guess-and-replace parts.
