Bosch Dishwasher E14 Error Code

Flow meter not detecting inlet water

What this error means

E14 means flow meter failure or inadequate fill—the reed-switch flow sensor at the inlet did not register expected pulses while the inlet valve was open. Cycles may stop before wash begins or mid-fill with E14.

Common causes

  • Closed or partially closed hot water supply valve
  • Inlet hose kinked when the dishwasher was pushed under the counter
  • Clogged inlet filter screen at the valve body
  • Failed flow meter turbine or inlet valve solenoid

Step-by-step fixes

  1. 1Confirm the supply valve under the sink is fully open
  2. 2Inspect the inlet hose for kinks along its length to the valve
  3. 3Shut off water, disconnect the hose, and rinse the mesh screen in the valve port
  4. 4Measure roughly 10 liters per minute at the disconnected hose per Bosch spec

When to call a technician

Strong flow at the hose with recurring E14 requires flow meter or inlet valve replacement inside the kick panel.
