Bosch Dishwasher Error Code E14
If your Bosch dishwasher displays Error Code E14, it usually indicates that the appliance has detected a problem with the water flow sensor. The flow sensor monitors how much water enters the dishwasher during the fill cycle.

What the E14 Error Means
The E14 error code generally indicates that the dishwasher is having difficulty measuring or detecting the water entering the appliance. Bosch dishwashers use a flow sensor to ensure the correct amount of water enters during each cycle.
If the control system detects abnormal readings from this sensor, the dishwasher may pause the program and show the E14 error.
Common Reasons This Error Appears
Water flow sensor issue
The dishwasher may detect irregular readings from the sensor that measures incoming water.
Water supply problem
Low water pressure or restricted water flow can cause the dishwasher to detect an abnormal fill cycle.
Temporary system glitch
A short interruption in power or a system reset may sometimes trigger an error code.
Safe Checks You Can Try
Before contacting a technician, there are a few safe checks you can perform.
Check the water supply
Make sure the water supply valve connected to the dishwasher is fully open and that the appliance has normal water pressure.
Inspect the inlet hose

Reset the dishwasher
- Turn the dishwasher off using the power button.
- Switch off power at the wall socket or circuit breaker.
