What we fix in Minneapolis
The Minneapolis repair mix
Most common Bosch error codes
E15 (Dishwasher) — Aquastop / leak detected: Water in the base pan triggered the float. Tip the unit to drain the pan, find the leak, fix it. Pan must be dry before resetting. | E09 (Dishwasher) — Heater fault: Heating element circuit. Element open or relay failed. | E22 (Dishwasher) — Filter clogged: Self-fix — pull the filter assembly and clean it. | E24 (Dishwasher) — Drain blocked: Drain pump or hose restriction. | E25 (Dishwasher) — Drain pump cover: Cover misplaced after cleaning the filter. | E27 (Dishwasher) — Low voltage: House power issue, not the dishwasher. | E01 / E02 / E03 (Dishwasher) — Control or sensor: Board diagnostics — needs service. | F18 (Washer) — Drain fault: Pump or restriction. | F21 (Washer) — Motor / drum stopped: Motor control or seized drum. | F23 (Washer) — Aquastop: Water in the base pan. | F43 (Washer) — Motor speed sensor: Tach signal lost. Often the motor brushes on older 800-series. | F63 (Oven) — Safety thermostat: Manual reset on the back of the oven. | F31 / E305 (Oven) — Temperature sensor: Thermistor open. | F02 (Fridge) — Fan motor: Evap fan — common on French-door 800-series. | E1 (Fridge) — Sensor or PCB: Diagnostics needed.
What to do before you call
1) Write down the exact code and the appliance model/serial. 2) Unplug for 5 minutes — about 20% of codes clear on power-cycle. 3) Don't keep running the appliance on a code; some (leak, overheat, lock) can damage other parts if ignored. We can usually tell you over the phone whether the code is DIY-able or needs a truck.

Field-service notes on bosch appliance repair
On bosch appliance repair, we keep the diagnostic tight because the failure catalog on this brand is well-documented. Older Twin Cities housing stock (pre-1970 Kenwood, Como, Highland Park, Northeast) frequently has 15A dedicated circuits feeding modern 20A-rated appliances, which shows up as intermittent shutdowns misread as control-board failure.
Because this page focuses on most common bosch error codes, our tech opens the call by isolating that subsystem before touching anything else. OEM parts get sourced from Marcone, Reliable Parts, and 1st Source — never Amazon or eBay for anything sealed-system, control, or safety-critical. The $149 residential diagnostic is credited toward the repair if you approve; if you don't, you pay only the diagnostic and we leave a written scope. Every completed repair carries a 1-year parts and labor warranty in writing. The section above covers the specific failure surface — e15 (dishwasher) — aquastop / leak detected: water in the base pan triggered the float.
We stock the top-30 wear items for this brand on the truck, so roughly 7 in 10 calls finish on the first visit without a parts return trip. We're EPA 608 certified for sealed-system and refrigerant work, licensed and insured in Minnesota, and every tech carries a factory diagnostic laptop for brand-specific service modes. If the model is out of parts support, we'll say so on the first call and refund the diagnostic — that's the honest read on a repair-vs-replace decision, and it's the same read we'd give a family member calling about the same bosch appliance.

FAQ
Minneapolis questions, answered
What does E15 (Dishwasher) mean on a Bosch?
Aquastop / leak detected. Water in the base pan triggered the float. Tip the unit to drain the pan, find the leak, fix it. Pan must be dry before resetting.
Can I clear a Bosch error code myself?
Power-cycle for 5 minutes clears about 20% of codes. If it comes back on the next cycle, the underlying fault is still there — power-cycling is diagnostic, not a fix.
Are Bosch error codes the same across models?
Mostly within a product line (washer, dryer, dishwasher), yes. Across product lines, no — the same code can mean different things on a washer vs. a dishwasher.
Do you stock Bosch parts in Minneapolis?
Yes — common sensors, drain pumps, inlet valves, igniters, heating elements, and control boards for the volume models. Special parts are next-day from our distributor.
How much does Bosch repair cost?
Most Bosch bosch appliance repairs in Minneapolis land $225–$525 all-in — parts, labor, and the $149 trip fee (which is credited toward the repair when you approve the work). Sealed-system or compressor work runs higher and we always quote that up front. Every job ships with a 1-year written parts-and-labor warranty.
Are you authorized for Bosch warranty work?
We're an independent shop. Factory warranty claims go through Bosch's authorized network; we handle post-warranty and out-of-pocket Bosch repairs with our own 1-year written parts-and-labor warranty.
Will an error code damage the appliance if I ignore it?
Some yes (leak, overheat, door-lock, sealed-system). Some no (door-open, child-lock, suds detected). When in doubt, unplug and call.
