Because of what error E15 may appear

Error E15 means that the system leakage sensor has worked. Water appeared inside the equipment, which got into a special sump.

error e15 in the dishwasher — Error E15 reports a problem with the Aquastop system; water has leaked into the pan of the car.

This can happen in several cases:

malfunction in the leak detection system itself;
a large amount of garbage or food debris has collected in the drain tract;
violation of the tightness of the pipe or seals;
breakage of the water spray or clogging of its holes;
using an unsuitable, excessively foaming detergent.

The appearance of an error with the E15 code is always accompanied by the flashing of the "water tap" icon. As a result, the foam float marker of the sensor is triggered and the leakage protection system is activated.

The drain pump automatically starts to work, which pumps out water in order to avoid short circuits and equipment breakdown. It happens that, despite the error, the pump continues to work. In such cases, it is better to disconnect the dishwasher from the power supply so that the working parts do not burn out.

Prophylaxis

Preventing damage is sometimes easier than fixing it:

Hard water flows in the tap. It must be softened using special 3in1 products. This prevents the build-up of limescale and deposits on the dishwasher parts. This means that hoses and a drain system will last longer.
Special agents designed to effectively soften hard water will prevent device errors.
Thoroughly clean the dishes from food residues before loading into the machine. Otherwise, the filter quickly clogs up, which leads to breakages and water leaks.
When the filters become clogged, water does not circulate well during washing, an overflow occurs in the washing tank, and an error lights up.
Wash and clean the strainer at least once a week. Do not allow it to completely clog.
If flushing the filter does not work properly, check the drain hose and drain for blockages.
The working blades of the sprinkler can also become clogged and overgrown with deposits. Clean them from time to time from grease and scale. Use a fine needle or toothpick to check for clogged water supply holes.
In case of malfunctions, the Aquastop sensor is best replaced.
Pay attention to the condition of the seals that retain water when washing dishes. Wash rubber parts with special products once every six months. Avoid using folk remedies to prevent the rubber from losing its elasticity.
Due to the wear of the seal, water during washing flows through the door of the dishwasher to the floor, from there flows into the pan and an error lights up.
