How to Fix Bosch Dishwasher Error E6002

Error Code: E6002 Difficulty: Hard

Problem: A fault with the drain pump, where residual water is detected in the sump, possibly due to dirty filters. It can also indicate a door lock malfunction.

How to Fix E6002 Error (Step-by-Step)

1. Disconnect the dishwasher from its power source at the circuit breaker and shut off the water supply line, typically found under the sink.
2. Open the dishwasher door and remove the bottom dish rack. Locate the filter assembly in the bottom of the tub, twist it counter-clockwise to unlock, and pull it out along with the fine mesh screen.
3. Clean both filter components thoroughly with warm, soapy water and a soft brush to remove any food debris or buildup, then reinstall them securely.
4. To access the drain pump, you will need to pull the dishwasher out from under the counter. Place a towel on the floor and carefully lay the dishwasher on its back to access the components underneath.
5. Locate the drain pump (part 00622573). Place a shallow pan or towel underneath it to catch any residual water. Disconnect the electrical wire harness and the hoses attached to the pump. You may need pliers to release the hose clamps.
6. Install the new drain pump by connecting the hoses and securing them with the clamps. Reattach the electrical connector, ensuring it clicks into place.
7. Carefully set the dishwasher upright, slide it back into place, reconnect the power and water supply, and run a drain or rinse cycle to check for proper operation and any leaks.
8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
