Bosch SHPM65Z55N (500 Series) Repair Guide
Bosch’s 500 Series with a third rack and AutoAir door-opening drying. Quiet at 44 dB, and the auto-open door is a genuine improvement on pure condensation drying.

Error codes
| Code | What it means |
|---|---|
| E15 | Water in base pan — leak protection |
| E24 | Drain blocked |
| E22 | Filter blocked |
| E09 | Heating element fault |
| E01 | Control board fault |
Tech notes
A constantly running drain pump on E15 is the machine protecting the floor, not a pump fault. Tilt the unit forward to drain the pan, then find the actual leak.
