Published 2025-05-13 · Error & Fault Codes

A Thermador dishwasher showing E15 has tripped its leak-protection system: water has collected in the base pan and the Aquastop float has risen. The pump runs continuously and the cycle stops. Clearing the display alone does nothing, because the code returns as soon as the float senses water again.

What We Check

Reading the sign is the start; testing confirms the part. Here is how we work this fault on Thermador:

CodeWhat It MeansWhat We Check
E15Water in the base pan tripped leak protectionLocate and clear the leak, dry the pan, then reset
E24Drainage fault, water not leavingClean the filter, drain hose, and pump

How We Fix It

  • A dishwasher showing E15 with water in the base
  • An induction zone that will not detect cookware
  • A refrigeration section running warm

Other Thermador codes we read on Thermador include E22 and E09. See the full list and model lines on our Thermador repair page.

Why It Matters

A dishwasher fault that leaves standing water or trips leak protection is worth handling before it reaches cabinetry or flooring. We find the underlying leak or blockage rather than only clearing the code, so the problem does not come back.

What to Have Ready When You Book

Good to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

What Does Thermador E15 Mean?

E15 is the leak-protection code. Water has pooled in the base pan and the Aquastop float has tripped. We track down the leak source, dry the pan, and reset the system rather than only clearing the display.

What Triggers a Thermador E24?

E24 is a drainage fault. Water is not leaving the tub, usually because of a clogged filter, a kinked or blocked drain hose, or a tired drain pump. We clear the path and confirm the tub empties fully.

Why Won't My Thermador Induction Cooktop See a Pan?

Freedom induction needs ferromagnetic cookware over a clean, cool sensor zone. If detection still fails with the right pans, the inverter board or a coil sensor is the likely cause.
