Error guide
Code overview
Quick answer — E15 indicates the anti-flood system has detected water in the base of the dishwasher.
The E15 code means the dishwasher’s anti-flood float has triggered because water collected in the base tray. It is a protective response that stops the cycle to prevent a leak from spreading.
Model note: ASKO reuses codes across series and model years, so E15 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm against your model’s documentation and record the full model number before acting.
- Error code: E15
- Appliance: Dishwasher
