Risk level

High

Professional inspection is recommended.

Urgency

High

Quick answer

E27 means the household supply voltage reaching the dishwasher was too low. Disconnect it once and request service if the code returns; do not open electrical covers.

Safety first

Stop and check this first

  • Leave the dishwasher disconnected for heat, arcing, burning odour, repeated breaker trips or a damaged plug. Never probe an energised board.

Safe checks you can perform

  • Perform one controlled power reset
  • Inspect only the external supply
  • Record the full code and E-number

Leave these tasks to a qualified professional

  • Do not attempt this professional task: Separate supply and control faults

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.

  1. Separate supply and control faults

    What they doA qualified technician should test the incoming supply, protected input, harnesses and the code-specific control circuit.

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.

  1. Perform one controlled power reset

    No special tools

    Switch off, isolate the dishwasher at its normal dry supply for 30 seconds and restore power only once.

    Leave the dishwasher disconnected for heat, arcing, burning odour, repeated breaker trips or a damaged plug. Never probe an energised board.

  2. Inspect only the external supply

    No special tools

    Remove extension leads and look for heat, damage or a tripped protection without opening the plug, outlet or appliance.

    Leave the dishwasher disconnected for heat, arcing, burning odour, repeated breaker trips or a damaged plug. Never probe an energised board.

  3. Record the full code and E-number

    No special tools

    Photograph the display and rating-plate E-number so service can select the correct circuit information.

    Leave the dishwasher disconnected for heat, arcing, burning odour, repeated breaker trips or a damaged plug. Never probe an energised board.

What it means

Bosch's official United States dishwasher table associates E27 with low incoming household power. 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.
