Bosch Dishwasher Error Code E14
Flow meter error
Common Causes
- 1Flow meter sensor failure
- 2Debris in flow meter
- 3Mineral scale jamming the turbine wheel
- 4Wiring or connector fault at the meter
Step-by-Step Troubleshooting
- 1
Check water supply pressure (minimum 20 PSI required)
- 2
Inspect inlet hose filter screen for debris buildup
- 3
Access flow meter at inlet valve — clean turbine wheel of sediment
- 4
Soak the removed turbine in white vinegar for thirty minutes to dissolve scale, then confirm it spins freely
- 5
Measure flow meter Hall-effect sensor output during fill (should pulse steadily)
Pro Diagnostic Tip
BSH flow meters use a Hall-effect turbine that counts pulses as water passes. Sacramento sediment and scale often jam the wheel so it under-counts and the control aborts the fill — a vinegar soak restores a majority of failed units with no parts. Replace the meter only if the wheel is free but the sensor still will not pulse.
You Might Also Notice
- •Underfilling or overfilling
- •Inconsistent wash results between loads
- •Long fill times before the cycle starts
- •Wash arms lose pressure partway through the cycle
