Describe your Bosch dishwasher problem
Choose the description closest to what you have noticed. These are symptoms to report, not confirmation that a particular component needs replacing.
- Water left in the base
- Poor cleaning results
- Not heating
- Leaks or door faults
Read the Bosch dishwasher fault guidance · Read appliance-specific repair questions · Safe checks before requesting a visit
The appliance guidance applies throughout our coverage; the local information below helps arrange a visit to your actual address. Consult the handbook for your complete E-Nr before normal user maintenance. Do not remove covers, move a fitted appliance or run repeated tests to identify a failed part.
Wet plastic items are not proof that the heater has failed
Bosch explains that plastics retain less heat than other items and may dry differently. Loading, rinse aid and the selected programme or drying option can also affect the result. Tell us whether everything remains wet or mainly plastic items, whether the wash completed and whether this is a change from the appliance's normal performance.
Report E09 exactly, without ordering a heater first
Bosch associates E09 with a heating fault in its dishwasher support. Keep the complete code and model reference for the enquiry; a generic code description is not a part number or permission to replace an internal component. Do not remove the base, test live circuits or run repeated cycles to see whether an electrical fault clears.
Drying features depend on the Bosch model
Do not assume that another Bosch dishwasher uses the same drying system or has the same selectable options. Include the full E-Nr, programme and any drying option you normally use. If the issue followed an installation or a change in settings, say so. Describe the ordinary result instead of reaching inside a hot or running appliance to test its temperature.
Caterham enquiries, not a postcode-area assumption
Caterham is in Tandridge within our Surrey service territory. A CR3 postcode does not mean the property should be booked as Croydon: use the actual service address. For an integrated dishwasher, mention the kitchen panel, control position and any restriction around the plinth. The office discusses access, charges and the proposed work before a visit is agreed.
Prepare the model and fault details
Tell us if the dishwasher is freestanding, fully integrated or semi-integrated. The model label is often around the edge of the door.
- Bosch E-Nr and the exact text or code on the display.
- Whether the cycle ends normally, stops early or runs continuously.
- Water level or wash-result observations, with no dismantling.
- Fully integrated, semi-integrated or freestanding fitting and any recent plumbing work.
Bosch’s model finder identifies the E-Nr, FD and serial-number details on the appliance rating label.

Use an accessible label or appliance paperwork. Leave fitted units, heavy appliances and electrical covers in place. If you cannot reach the label safely, tell the office. Include any displayed message exactly as shown and describe what happened before the fault, without running repeated tests.
Access to the appliance at your address
Give the house or flat number, full postcode and the best contact for the visit. Mention stairs, lift or concierge arrangements, controlled parking and any restrictions on reaching the appliance. Tell us whether it is fitted behind a kitchen door, stacked or in a narrow cupboard.
For a tenant's domestic appliance, identify who can authorise the work and who will provide access. The office checks these arrangements before agreeing an appointment.

If you are considering a replacement
A replacement dishwasher must work with the opening, furniture front, plinth and existing services. The nominal width alone does not establish compatibility, so send both model numbers before a fitting is agreed.

Dishwasher repair questions
Can a Bosch dishwasher wash properly but leave some items wet?
Yes. Bosch notes that plastics and different drying conditions affect results. Explain which items are wet and whether the result has changed; that observation alone does not establish a heater failure.
What should I send for an E09 dishwasher repair in Caterham?
Send the exact displayed code, the E-Nr if safely accessible and what happened before the programme stopped. Include any electrical trip or leak, and leave internal checks to a qualified assessment.
Will every Bosch dishwasher have the same drying options?
No. Features and controls vary by model. The manual for your E-Nr is the reference for normal settings; the repair enquiry should describe the machine you own rather than assume a feature from another model.
Charges, scope and confirming a visit
We review the model, address and work required, explain applicable charges and confirm availability before agreeing a visit. Sending an enquiry does not take payment, reserve an appointment or guarantee a completed repair. Parts availability and the appliance's condition affect the options; further parts or work are discussed before you decide.
UKCDA is an independent repair business. Brand names identify appliances and do not imply manufacturer approval. If a manufacturer guarantee or service plan may cover the appliance, check its arrangements before requesting a chargeable visit.
