Dishwasher displays E15; unit may not start and base pan may be dry or slightly damp.

Safety first: Turn off power and water. Avoid tipping the unit if there is significant water inside.

• Check for suds: If dish soap or non-dishwasher detergent was used, excessive suds may have overflowed. Run a rinse cycle (after clearing the error) with a small amount of cooking oil to break down suds.
• Dry the base: Pull the dishwasher out and remove the bottom panel. Use towels or a wet/dry vacuum to remove all water from the base pan.
• Inspect float switch: Locate the base float and switch. Ensure the float moves freely and is not stuck by debris or scale. Clean and test movement.
• Check for slow leaks: Run a short cycle while observing the base for drips from hoses, pump seals, or the sump. Tighten clamps or replace seals as needed.
• Reset error: Once the base is dry and the leak is corrected, restore power and test operation.
