Appliance Fault Codes

What that error code means — and what you can safely check

Bosch dishwasher E16 error code

E16 means water inlet fault. Too much water has entered — usually the inlet valve is letting water through continuously.

Often fixable at home · Fault type: Electrical/hardware

Safe checks, in order of likelihood

  1. Turn off the water supply valve under the sink.
  2. Unplug 1 minute, restore power with water off, run a Drain — if E16 clears, the inlet valve is suspect.
  3. Check the inlet hose and its filter mesh.

Call a professional when…

If the code returns after these checks, book a qualified engineer.
