Dishwasher starts to fill, then displays watertap error.
The machine continues to fill until it overflows and then displays a E24 aqua error due the to water in the bottom of the unit. Repair center called and ordered a fill sensor and computer. Its been 6 weeks and no parts. Repair center says Bosch is not sending the right fill sensor. Is there a fill sensor for this diswasher? My research says no.
I guess the model number didn't get posted. It's a Bosch dishwasher model shx68t55uc/02. ThanksI guess the model number didn't get posted. It's a Bosch dishwasher model shx68t55uc/02. Thanks

The E24 error code on a Kenmore dishwasher model 630.1390 typically indicates a problem with the drain pump or the drain hose. This can cause the dishwasher to start adding water but then shut off and display the E24 error message.
Here are some steps you can try to fix the issue:
Check the drain hose for any clogs or blockages. Make sure the hose is not kinked or bent and that it is properly connected to the garbage disposal or drain.
Inspect the drain pump for any debris or foreign objects. Clean out the pump, if necessary.
Check the air gap on the dishwasher. Make sure it is not clogged or blocked.
Inspect the control board and check for any error messages.
Power off the dishwasher and unplug it for 10 minutes to reset the electronic control board.
Make sure the dishwasher is level and that the legs are adjusted properly.
If the problem persists even after trying these steps, it might be best to contact a professional technician for further diagnosis and repair.
The machine is telling you to check the water supply which fills your dishwasher. Check if the water pipe is frozen or blocked, do you need to turn on a tap to allow the water go flow to the dishwasher ? :)
E15 on the Bosch units indicated the base switch is activated. There is a safety switch which will activate the drain pump to avoid the base overflowing. Basically you either have a leak or possibly rodents living in the base of your dishwasher.
Easy way to check is first make sure no water is inside the washing area or sump (where the filter is). You will have a dribble there which the drain pump won't pump out but make sure it is mostly empty. The dishwasher always drains at the beginning of a cycle if you need to manually activate this, just turn you tap off so it doesn't try to fill. unplug your dishwasher then pull the machine out and place some old towels along the base and tip if forward. If water run out from the base then you got a leak.
If you are a bit handy then you can take either the front kick plate and cover off or a side panel to look in the base. The float switch is a polystyrene disc which raises and hits a micro switch when the base fills up.
Common place for these to leak is the sump, wash motor or water path / distribution unit. Look for chalky white residue around the seals. Depending on the age of your unit some parts are more serviceable than others. Bosch are pretty good with spare parts so you should be able to source most items you need.
If you are not handy or technical and are concerned about taking on this work, call in a technician. Remember disconnect power before attempting any work. please.
Based on the info you've provided, the dishwasher is indicating a error during the "fill" stage, hence the "F" being displayed on the Bosch machines.
Here's how to perform a test or diagnostic...
Make sure the power button is in the off position ( open & closing of the door will activate the "auto shut off" ).
Once certain it is "off" press and hold both the regular button and rinse & hold button, then turn the unit "on" while continuing to depress those 2 buttons. Initially, control module version # will display ( i.e. "20" = version "0" without jumper...not important for this ).
When the buttons are now released, the lights above them will flash. To start testing, press both the "regular wash" and "rinse & hold" a second time.
Let the test follow through, ( grab a coffee and observe, this will take a while )
When testing has ended, the display will show an error using codes as follows... "0" = no error. "1" = aqua sensor fault. "2" = heating fault. "4" = filling fault. and finally. "8" = NTC ( temperature sensor ) fault.
The "F" code will not appear in test mode, only during wash. If you have a failed level switch for instance the test will display "4" and will continually fill and drain and test won't complete until you press the "on/off" button.
If the test complete's without and error or won't fill, replace the water valve. Original part Part # 425458 at "searspartsdirect.com", "apwagner.com" or #1105846 at "repairclinic.com" ( they use there own numbers ) or you can check locally by your model number & serial number.

Some diswashers have a sump in the bottom with a float switch. If the water level overflows the float will activate the switch which will kill the machine and run the drain pump continuously.
f is fill fault to much or not enough water or water in the sump white plastic base the f code will not go away until you solve the problem when the f code shows up the drain motor will run all of the time
