My Siemens dishwasher threw up a E15 Fault a few nights ago.

Thanks to YouTube I found a few videos that pointed me to the Aquastop
feature where a small sump triggers a float.

I gained access to it and sure enought there was water in this sump - took
Wet & Dry vacuum and dried is all out and ran it a few times - no sign of a
leak so I reassembled it.

Had a similar problem on our Miele, no obvious apparent leaks, but in
the end I traced it to a leak around an o ring on the side of the water
conditioning unit. It only leaked at a certain phase in the wash - I
only saw it after running a complete cycle with the side off. It was
enough to enable the trip after five or six washes.

What is niggling me is that,to many people, this fault would be terminal as
there is no way to empty the little sump.

Tipping the whole machine will empty it onto the floor - not always
ideal though.

Perhaps the idea was that a service call would be made and the leak
detected and a repair made or the machine replaced.

I would probably replace the machine if there is a significant leak, but I
really want to know if this was some sort of freak event, caused by
consensation, ot a small leak over a very long period.

Probably a small leak somewhere.
