Bosch dishwasher regularly floods

Unplug it then plug again in 5 minutes. It should set it up to factory settings

E14 means faulty flow meter, which normally mean filling problems

Hi, that sounds like you have a fault in the water inlet valve. Best get checked or replace the water inlet valve.

I do not know this specific machine, but I have to say that if the pellet hits something regularly instead of falling freely into the machine, then the design of the machine may simply not be good for pellets. Use powder. That also allows you to use more or less when required.

After 8 years service the seal may have perished, so you should feel for a crack by stretching the rubber where you noticed the leak.

check out my guide HERE. It addresses other problems you can have with bosch drainage. Tell me what you think!

It sounds like you have a bad controller which is an expensive part if it is over five years old. However, there is a recall on some Bosch dishwashers which involves replacing the control. If you call Bosch at 1-800-944-2904 they can tell you if your model is involved in the recall.

One possible solution to your problem could be as follows... Could have been little regular soap or something put in that made it suds up causing it not to drain. Pouring vegetable oil into the dish washer tub will remove the suds. After running vegetable oil for about 5 minutes, pour 2 cups of vinegar in to the tub and run it on the hottest longest cycle with no dishes in it. This will clean the residue out and what ever "gunk" may be in the internal parts. Use Only powder detergent. No gel and No tabs. These 2 cause a build-up over a period of time of use and reduce the performance of your machine. This should take care of your problem.

Yes there have been some issues with these stuff in dishwashers without flood protection. If you want to use them you will have to get a anti-flood attachment for your washer. So its up to you to decide..

My Bosch SHU43C had the same exact problem. I found the below solution on this site. Perhaps you already seen it.

My SHU43C is just over 3 years old. I had a similar problem recently. First, there were a few floods. Then, the Bosch only drained non-stop. Even when I used the Cancel Drain buttons the drain pump would run without stopping. When I tried to run one of the cleaning cycles, no water entered the machine. Corrective: I removed the base plate, and saw that the red plastic floatation device was in the up position. Using a flashlight and a wooden spoon, I lightly toggled the red float stem down. I pushed regular clean cycle and kept toggling with the red float stem until the rinse water started to enter the machine (turning the red stem seems to also actuate a step in the program). Now the dishwasher runs normally. Voila!
