Possible Causes
Minor internal leak into base tray, Condensation or previous spill not fully dried, Stuck float switch, Damaged base tray
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power and close the water tap. Be prepared for water spillage when moving the appliance.
- Pull out the dishwasher: Carefully slide the Becken dishwasher out from under the counter.
- Tilt to drain: Tilt the appliance backward about 30–45° to allow any water in the base tray to run out onto towels. This may temporarily clear E15.
- Inspect base tray: Remove the bottom cover to inspect the base tray, float, and micro-switch. Ensure the float moves freely and is not stuck by grease or debris.
- Find the leak source: Check around the circulation pump, drain pump, hoses, and door area for signs of dried water tracks or mineral deposits indicating a slow leak.
- Repair leaks: Tighten hose clamps, replace cracked hoses, or renew pump seals as needed.
Do not ignore repeated E15 errors; unresolved leaks can cause serious water damage.
