The Bosch Dishwasher Error Code E09 is displayed when the water heating element has failed or is not working properly. This can happen for a number of reasons, such as a power outage or a faulty heating element. In some cases, the error code can be cleared by resetting the dishwasher, but if the problem persists, it will need to be repaired or replaced.

3. Inspect the water hose for kinks or blockages

The first step in inspecting the water hose for kinks or blockages is to remove the water hose from the dishwasher. If the hose is kinked or blocked, the dishwasher will not be able to dispense water. Next, use a hose clamp to attach one end of a hose to the faucet and the other end of the hose to the dishwasher. Turn on the water to the dishwasher and wait until the dishwasher begins to fill up with water. Once the dishwasher is filled with water, use a water hose to carefully expel the water from the dishwasher. If the hose is kinked or blocked, the water will flow back into the dishwasher and the dishwasher will display the e09 error code. If the hose is not kinked or blocked, the dishwasher will not display the e09 error code. Instead, the dishwasher will continue to dispense water normally.

4. Replace the water inlet valve if it is faulty

1.Shut off the power to the dishwasher. 2.Remove the dishwasher's front panel. 3.Locate and remove the water inlet valve. 4.Replace the water inlet valve with a new one. 5.Replace the dishwasher's front panel. 6.Turn on the power to the dishwasher.
