how to check drainage after a Bosch dishwasher E24 warning

check the pump cover only where the full e-nr manual permits owner access.

when to get help
- stop and arrange service for a leak, sharp debris you cannot handle safely, or a cover that will not release as instructed. do not force access.
steps
- switch off and unplug
use the full e-nr. on the appliance label to find the manual. disconnect power before handling the filter or a pump cover, and let hot water cool.
- check for a blockage
clean the removable filter as instructed. look for a kink in any visible drain hose without pulling the dishwasher out. check the pump cover's seating only if the manual allows you to reach it.
- get help if E24 returns
refit and secure everything as instructed. if the warning returns, give a repairer the code and e-nr. do not pull out a fixed-in dishwasher or change its plumbing.
