Safety first
Stop using the dishwasher if you see active leakage, smell burning, or notice damaged electrical parts. Keep clear of hot water and steam, and do not remove electrical panels, work on wiring, or force a pump cover. If there is a leak, shut off the water supply if you can do so safely. For an E15 indication, Bosch instructs users to shut off incoming water and contact support; this is general Bosch guidance, not a confirmed code for this specific model.

Wet or poorly washed dishes
