Guidance for Bosch dishwashers. Check the feature and control descriptions against your model.
Bosch’s code guide associates E24 with drain problems and E25 with a blocked pump or loose/missing pump cover. Check only the model-approved owner-accessible filter, hose and pump-cover steps in the matching manual; Bosch code implementations and instructions can vary, so do not apply these meanings to a different brand or unverified display.
Specifications & model details
Bosch SHX78CC5UC — Product type: Standard; Connected capability: No.
Use the display and indicator pattern to identify the dishwasher’s next safe owner check, then distinguish a temporary interruption from a fault that needs service.
Category & symptom guidance
Write down the full code or describe the exact lights: steady or flashing, color, sequence, and whether beeps accompany them. Note whether the machine was filling, washing, draining, or finishing when the signal appeared. A photo can preserve a pattern that disappears after the door is opened. Codes are brand and model specific; a label such as “E” or a blinking number cannot be decoded reliably from a different machine’s guide.
If the display is blank, record that separately from a code. If it shows a remaining time, compare it with the indicator rather than assuming the timer itself is an error. Avoid repeatedly starting and cancelling cycles before recording what the machine reports.
A flashing Start indicator can mean the door was opened or a cycle was interrupted, rather than that a component failed. In the cited GE shared manual, the owner response is to press Start once and close the door within four seconds; a second press while running is for cancelling. That timing and behavior apply to the named manual family only. On another dishwasher, use its own start and resume instructions.
A repeating door reminder may stop after the door is closed and the cycle resumed. Confirm the door is fully latched and the control is not locked before interpreting a missed start as a fault. Delay-start settings can also make a machine appear idle while a countdown is pending.
A light can communicate completion or an option state rather than a failure. For example, the GE manual describes a Sanitized light as an end-of-cycle result when the selected sanitizing option met its monitored conditions; interruption or insufficient incoming water heat can prevent that result. A missing completion light therefore does not by itself identify a broken heater. Record the selected option and whether the cycle was interrupted.
Smart Assist indicators are also model dependent. The cited GE guidance associates a red light with a potential issue to investigate through its app, and a yellow light with an available notification. If the dishwasher is not connected, that manual points owners to the display code and service pathway. Do not infer the same meaning for similarly colored lights on other brands.
After documenting the signal, perform only the owner checks linked to it in the exact-model guidance. A filter-cleaning prompt, if the model has one, may call for accessible routine care; a fill, drain, leak, or electrical fault can require a different response. Do not remove panels, probe wiring, defeat a latch, or keep running a machine that is leaking or repeatedly stopping.
If a single interruption clears and a normal cycle completes without recurrence, note that outcome. If the code returns, the appliance stops at the same stage, or a warning is paired with water on the floor or a burning smell, stop using it and arrange diagnosis through the manufacturer or a repair provider. Provide the code and sequence so the visit can start with evidence rather than guesswork.
This may be a paused or interrupted cycle; the exact control sequence depends on the model.
A recurring condition is more likely than a one-time interruption.
No. On the GE manual family cited here it can indicate an opened door or interrupted cycle. Confirm the exact model’s meaning before assuming a component failure.
No. Similar-looking codes can mean different things. Match the code to the exact model’s owner guidance or support page.
