What does the dishwasher code mean?
On a Thermador dishwasher, the code narrows the job fast. New York Appliance Desk books Thermador repair across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx for dishwashers, ranges and rangetops, wall ovens, cooktops and column refrigeration.
| Code | Thermador's meaning | Where the tech goes |
|---|---|---|
E15 | Water detected in the base of the dishwasher | Finding the leak: hoses, inlet valve, pump seals, tub, door |
E22 | Blocked filter, drain pump cover, kinked hose or clogged air gap | Filters, pump cover, drain path |
E23 | Drain pump blocked or faulty | Drain pump and impeller |
E24 E25 | Drain problem: pump cover, hose or air gap | Drain path from pump to sink or disposal |
E27 | Supply voltage too low | The outlet and circuit under the counter |
A code that keeps coming back after a reset, especially E15, is not one to clear and live with. Close the water valve under the sink and leave the dishwasher off until it's looked at.
Is the Thermador still covered?
Thermador lists two years of limited warranty on the entire appliance, parts and labor. Refrigeration gets more on the sealed system (compressor, evaporator, condenser, dryer-strainer and tubing): parts and labor from year three through year six, then parts only from year seven through year twelve. The install date and serial number decide it.
What fails on Thermador ranges and refrigeration?
- Star burners: wet or cracked igniters, burner caps out of position, clogged ports, a failing spark module.
- Wall ovens: bake and convection elements, temperature sensors, door locks after self-clean, control boards.
- Freedom columns: warm sections from a failed fan or defrost fault, a door that drifts out of alignment, ice makers on the freezer column. See refrigerator repair for how the tech sorts warm-fridge calls.
- Induction cooktops: pan detection, cooling fans and power boards.
