Does this guide apply to your appliance?

Match the brand, device type and complete display code. The same code can mean something different on another product family or market; a series name does not confirm every model in that series.

No exact model number is recorded here. Confirm the code in your appliance manual before following a check.

Likely causes

  • Fault in the detergent-dispenser solenoid circuit.
  • A failed or malfunctioning detergent dispenser.
  • A problem with an internal valve on models or in regions where Bosch uses the broader E19/F19 definition.
  • An internal electrical or control fault requiring professional diagnosis.

What to try

Reset the dishwasher power once

Easy
  1. Switch the dishwasher off using its controls.
  2. Locate the dishwasher’s circuit breaker in the electrical panel.
  3. Switch the breaker off for 30 seconds.
  4. Switch the breaker back on and turn the dishwasher on.
  5. Check whether the E19 code has cleared. If it remains or returns, do not continue troubleshooting internally; use the service option below.

Stop using the appliance and arrange professional service if E19 remains or returns

Professional

This is a service referral, not a do-it-yourself repair procedure.

  1. Switch the dishwasher off.
  2. Close the dishwasher’s water tap or supply valve.
  3. Do not remove panels or attempt to access the dispenser, internal valve, wiring, or control board.
  4. Record the dishwasher model number/E-Nr. and the displayed E19 code for the service provider.
  5. Contact Bosch customer support or a qualified appliance technician for model-specific diagnosis and repair.

This step is marked caution. Stop if you are not qualified to continue.

The code returned or the check did not help?

Avoid repeated resets and do not select a replacement part from the code alone. Record the exact code, full model number, when it appeared, and the checks you tried with their results. Share these details with the manufacturer or service technician.

Disconnecting power does not establish that internal components are safe to touch. This guide does not authorize opening electrical components or bypassing safety devices.
