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:
| Code | What It Means | What We Check |
|---|---|---|
E15 | Water in the base pan tripped leak protection | Locate and clear the leak, dry the pan, then reset |
E24 | Drainage fault, water not leaving | Clean 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.
