Bosch Appliance Repair in East Boston Massachusetts, Appliance Repair Pros
Bosch appliances are renowned for their German engineering, quiet operation, and sleek European design. They are a frequent choice for the modern condos in Jeffries Point and the renovated apartments throughout East Boston. However, the precision engineering that makes a Bosch dishwasher whisper-quiet or a Bosch oven bake perfectly also means they require specialized knowledge when repairs are needed. At Appliance Repair Pros, we provide expert Bosch appliance repair services to homeowners in East Boston, Massachusetts, and nearby communities including Winthrop, Revere, and Chelsea. We service the full range of Bosch home appliances, including their legendary dishwashers, refrigerators, ovens, cooktops, washing machines, and dryers.
Bosch appliances often use different technologies than their American counterparts, such as condensation drying in dishwashers and ventless condensing dryers. A general repair approach often fails with these machines. Our technicians understand the specific error codes, sensor systems, and “AquaStop” leak protection features that define the brand. We treat your home with the utmost respect, protecting your floors and cabinetry while we work. We focus on accurate diagnostics to identify the root cause—whether it is a drain pump blockage or a control board fault—ensuring your high-quality appliance continues to perform. Contact us today to schedule your service.

Why Homeowners Choose Appliance Repair Pros for Bosch Repairs
Brand Specific Diagnostics
Bosch appliances are designed to protect themselves. If a Bosch dishwasher detects even a few drops of water in the base pan, it will trigger an E15 error and run the drain pump continuously to prevent flooding. A technician unfamiliar with this might replace the pump unnecessarily. We know that E15 usually means a leak, not a bad pump. We use the correct diagnostic sequences to isolate leaks, test sensors, and verify control board functions, saving you time and money.
Experience Across Bosch Sub Lines
We work on the entire Bosch catalog. We know the differences between the plastic-tub Ascenta/100 Series and the stainless-tub 800 Series. We understand the advanced Zeolite (CrystalDry) technology found in premium models and how to service the specialized fans and containers involved. Whether you have a standard 300 Series or a Benchmark kitchen suite, we know your machine.
Respect for the Home
Bosch appliances are often integrated into high-end cabinetry. We take special care when removing built-in units to ensure we do not damage your kickplates, wood trim, or flooring. We use protective mats for our tools and clean up thoroughly after the repair is complete. We aim to leave your kitchen looking exactly as we found it.
Dependable Scheduling
We know that a broken appliance disrupts your life. We provide clear, realistic arrival windows for our East Boston neighbors. We are familiar with the local streets and traffic patterns, allowing us to plan our routes efficiently. If an unexpected delay occurs, we communicate with you immediately.

Common Problems We Fix in Bosch Appliances
Bosch Dishwasher E15 Error (Water in Base)
The dishwasher displays “E15” or a tap icon flashing, and the pump runs constantly, even with the door open.
- Leak from the sump seal
- Loose water inlet valve
- Door seal leak
- Oversudsing causing overflow
How we diagnose it:
This code indicates the Styrofoam float switch in the bottom base pan has lifted. We pull the unit out to find the source of the water accumulation. It is often a small drip from the turbidity sensor or a loose hose clamp.
What you can do right now:
Do not tip the machine forward, as water will spill onto your floor. Turn off the water supply to the dishwasher and call us.
Bosch Dishwasher E24 or E25 Error (Drain Issue)
The cycle stops early with water left in the tub, displaying a drain error.
- Clogged drain filter
- Blocked drain hose (air gap)
- Drain pump cover loose
- Failed drain pump
How we diagnose it:
We check the drain pump impeller for debris like glass or seeds. Bosch pumps are very sensitive; even a small lemon seed can jam them. We also verify the white plastic pump cover is clicked into place—if it is loose, the pump won’t work.
What you can do right now:
Check the filter at the bottom of the tub. Also, ensure the white plastic cover over the impeller is snapped down tight. If it was removed for cleaning and not reseated, the unit will not drain.
Bosch Refrigerator Not Cooling
The fridge is warm but the freezer is okay, or both are failing.
- Evaporator fan failure
- Frozen evaporator coils (defrost issue)
- Control board failure
- Sensor failure
How we diagnose it:
We test the resistance of the temperature sensors. Bosch fridges use multiple sensors to manage airflow. We also check the fan operation, which circulates the cold air.
What you can do right now:
Check if the “SuperCool” or “SuperFreeze” modes were accidentally activated or stuck. Ensure the door seal is tight.
Bosch Oven Not Heating
The oven fan runs, but the temperature never rises, or it takes a very long time.
- Failed convection element
- Blown thermal safety limiter
- Control board relay failure
- Temperature sensor probe failure
How we diagnose it:
Bosch ovens often have a safety thermal limiter on the back. If the cooling fan fails or the oven gets too hot, this limiter cuts power to the elements. We test for continuity to see if this safety device has tripped.
What you can do right now:
Reset the breaker. If the clock is on but it won’t heat, verify the unit is not in “Demo Mode” in the settings menu.
Bosch Washer E18 Error (Pump Blockage)
The washer stops with water in the drum and displays E18.
- Coin trap/filter clogged
- Drain hose kinked
- Drain pump failure
How we diagnose it:
We open the access door on the bottom front (on most models) to check the coin trap. This filter catches debris before it hits the pump. We also check the impeller for damage.
What you can do right now:
Open the small circular door on the front bottom right. Have a shallow tray ready to catch water, then unscrew the filter cap to clean out any lint or coins.
Bosch Dryer Not Drying
The clothes come out damp and warm, or the cycle takes hours.
- Clogged heat exchanger (condenser)
- Full water tank (if not plumbed)
- Failed heating element
- Moisture sensor coated in residue
How we diagnose it:
Since many Bosch dryers are ventless condensers, airflow *inside* the machine is key. We check the heat exchanger box for lint blockage. We also test the NTC sensors that monitor temperature.
What you can do right now:
Pull out the large condenser cartridge at the bottom of the dryer and rinse it out in the shower (if applicable to your model). Lint buildup here destroys efficiency.
Our Bosch Repair Services by Appliance Type
Bosch Dishwasher Repair
Bosch is the market leader in dishwashers, and we see them often. We fix leak errors (E15), heating failures (E09), and filling issues (E17). We are experts in the heat pump assembly, which combines the motor and heater into one part.
- E15 leak detection error
- E24 / E25 drain errors
- E09 heating element failure
- Dishes not drying
- Door spring tension failure
- Control panel buttons unresponsive
How we approach the repair:
We remove the side panels to access the base. If the heater is bad (E09), we replace the heat pump assembly. We adjust door springs if the door falls open too fast.
Bosch Refrigerator and Freezer Repair
We service Bosch French door and built-in refrigerators. We fix dual compressor issues found in the Benchmark line and standard cooling failures. We also address ice maker issues, including the specialized internal water dispensers.
- Refrigerator warm
- Ice maker not working
- Water dispenser leaking
- Alarm beeping continuously
- Freezer drawer stuck
How we approach the repair:
We test the inverter board that controls the compressor speed. We check the drain tubes for blockages which can cause water to pool under the crisper drawers.
Bosch Oven Range and Cooktop Repair
We service Bosch gas, electric, and induction cooking appliances. We fix ignition issues, uneven baking, and induction glass interface errors. We are familiar with the side-opening door mechanisms on the Benchmark series ovens.
- Oven not heating
- Fan runs constantly
- Glass cooktop cracked
- Induction burner flashing (not sensing pan)
- F-codes on display
How we approach the repair:
We test the resistance of the oven sensor. On induction cooktops, we check the generator boards and the user interface connection. We replace weak igniters on gas ranges.
Bosch Washer and Dryer Repair
Bosch compact laundry units are popular in East Boston condos. We fix the E18 drain errors, door latch failures, and vibration issues. We are specialists in the ventless drying technology, which confuses many general repair techs.
- Washer won’t drain (E18)
- Dryer takes too long to dry
- Door won’t lock/unlock
- Loud spinning noise
- Water leaking from soap drawer
How we approach the repair:
We clean the internal air paths of the dryer. We replace worn carbon brushes in the washer motor if it stops spinning. We test the door interlock to ensure safety.
Bosch Microwave Repair
We repair Bosch built-in and drawer microwaves. Common failures include the door mechanism, the magnetron, and the touchpad. We also fix the motorized drawer on under-counter models.
- No heat
- Drawer opens and closes on its own
- Touchpad dead
- Sparks inside
How we approach the repair:
We test the interlock switches that tell the unit the drawer is closed. We safely discharge the capacitor before testing high-voltage components.
Brand Notes for Bosch Sub Lines
Bosch 800 Series Service
The 800 Series is the most popular premium line, often featuring CrystalDry technology. This uses Zeolite minerals to dry plastics.
- CrystalDry fan failures
- Touch control sensitivity issues
- Rack adjustment mechanism breakage
We know how to service the specialized container and fan system that makes CrystalDry work, a feature unique to Bosch.
Bosch Benchmark Service
Benchmark is the luxury line, often featuring color TFT displays and side-opening ovens. These units use different control logic and higher-end internal components.
- TFT display failures
- Side-swing door hinge adjustments
- Dual compressor cooling issues
We treat these luxury units with the care they deserve, ensuring precise calibration of the advanced features.
Understanding Common Bosch Error Codes and Warnings
Bosch codes are very specific. Here is a guide to what they mean.
- E15 (Dishwasher): Leak Detected. Water is in the base pan. Safety switch active.
- E24 / E25 (Dishwasher): Drain Error. Pump blocked or cover loose.
- E09 (Dishwasher): Heating Error. The heating element in the pump has likely burned out.
- E18 (Washer): Pump Blocked. The coin trap is full or the hose is kinked.
- E01 / E04 (Dishwasher): Power Module Failure. The main control board is bad.
- H:00 – H:24 (Dishwasher): This is usually a delay start timer, not an error.
- CL (Washer): Child Lock. Press and hold the start/option buttons to release.
- Er (Oven): Error in temperature sensing or control.
Maintenance Tips for Bosch Owners in East Boston
Maintain your German engineering with these tips.
First, clean your dishwasher filter weekly. Bosch dishwashers do not have hard food grinders; they rely on a filter system to be quiet. If the filter is dirty, cleaning performance drops immediately.
Second, maintain your ventless dryer. You must pull out the condenser cartridge (bottom left) and rinse it with water every few weeks. If this clogs with lint, drying times will triple.
Third, add salt if you have a water softener built into your dishwasher. East Boston water is generally soft, but if you have the softener turned on, keep the salt reservoir filled to prevent etching on glasses.
Fourth, leave your washer door open. Bosch washers seal very tightly. Leaving the door ajar prevents mold growth on the grey door boot seal.
Finally, check the spray arms. The small holes can get clogged with lemon seeds or glass. Pop the arms off (they usually snap or twist off) and rinse them in the sink.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bosch Appliance Repair
Why is my Bosch dishwasher flashing E15?
This means water has leaked into the base of the machine. It is a safety feature. We need to find the leak source, which could be a simple loose nut or a sump seal.
Does my Bosch dishwasher have a heating element?
Not a visible one. It uses a “Flow Through” heater integrated into the wash motor. This heats the water efficiently but requires replacing the pump assembly if it fails.
Can you fix my Bosch ventless dryer?
Yes, we specialize in these. Often the issue is a clogged condenser unit or a failed drain pump (since they condense water into a tray or drain).
Do you use genuine Bosch parts?
Yes, Bosch appliances are sensitive to tolerances. We use OEM parts to ensure the machine runs as quietly and efficiently as designed.
Why is my Bosch oven fan running after I turn it off?
This is normal. The cooling fan runs to protect the electronics until the oven cools down. If it runs for hours, the sensor or board might be bad.
What is CrystalDry?
It is a technology using Zeolite minerals to absorb moisture and create heat. If your dishes aren’t drying, the fan moving air through this mineral container might be failed.
How do I unlock my Bosch washer?
Look for the key symbol. Press and hold the button next to it (often “Start” or “Finish in”) for 3-5 seconds.
Is it worth repairing an older Bosch dishwasher?
Bosch dishwashers are incredibly durable. If it’s under 10 years old, repairs like pumps or valves are definitely worth it.
Do you service Bosch Benchmark appliances?
Yes, we are experienced with the luxury Benchmark line and its specific features.
Why is my dishwasher not draining even after I cleaned the filter?
Check the white pump cover. If it isn’t snapped down tight, the impeller just spins water without pushing it out. It’s a common mistake!
Is there a Bosch repair tech near me?
Yes, we are locally based in East Boston and serve the immediate area.
