How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before accessing internal sensors.

  • 1. Check operating position
    • Ensure the carpet cleaner is used on a level floor and not excessively tilted or lifted during operation.
  • 2. Locate tilt sensor
    • Open the main body to find the tilt or orientation sensor (often a small cylindrical or rectangular component on a small PCB).
    • Check that it is firmly mounted and not loose.
  • 3. Inspect wiring
    • Verify the connector from the tilt sensor to the main PCB is secure.
    • Repair any damaged wires.
  • 4. Replace sensor if needed
    • If E15 persists and the sensor is suspected faulty, replace the tilt sensor module with a Bosch-approved part.
  • 5. Control PCB
    • If a new sensor does not resolve the issue, the control PCB may misinterpret the signal and should be replaced by a technician.
