Bosch dishwasher E14: flow-meter or filling fault
Evidence linked to this decision
View source: Bosch US dishwasher error codesRisk level
Medium
Proceed carefully and stop if the check is unclear.
Urgency
High
Quick answer
E14 means the flow meter or water-filling system did not report the expected inlet flow. Check the visible tap and hose route, then stop if filling remains abnormal or any water appears.
Safety first
Stop and check this first
- Close the water valve and isolate power from a dry point if water is visible, filling continues or the inlet device is damaged. Never defeat AquaStop.
Safe checks you can perform
- Confirm the accessible water supply
- Inspect the hose and AquaStop externally
- Stop after one model-approved retry
Leave these tasks to a qualified professional
- Do not attempt this professional task: Measure the complete filling path
What a technician must be able to justify
Technician visit
These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.
These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.
Measure the complete filling path
What they doService should test supply flow, AquaStop, inlet valve, flow meter, water matrix, harness and control for the E-number.
Before accepting a part or repair
Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.
Follow these steps
Note: Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.
Confirm the accessible water supply
Verify the household valve is fully open and that other taps have normal flow without dismantling plumbing.
Close the water valve and isolate power from a dry point if water is visible, filling continues or the inlet device is damaged. Never defeat AquaStop.

Inspect the hose and AquaStop externally
Look for kinks, crushing, moisture or damage; do not immerse, open or bypass an AquaStop valve.
Close the water valve and isolate power from a dry point if water is visible, filling continues or the inlet device is damaged. Never defeat AquaStop.

What it means
Bosch's official United States dishwasher table associates E14 with a flow-meter failure or a problem with water entering the dishwasher. This page is restricted to Bosch dishwashers: the same code on a washer, dryer or another appliance can mean something else, and the exact E-number and manual decide compatibility.
