What's Happening
The ice maker motor or sensor has a problem. Not to be confused with E15 on Bosch dishwashers (water in base). On refrigerators, E15 specifically relates to the ice maker mechanism failing to cycle properly.
How to Fix It
Check that the ice maker is turned on, the water supply is connected, and the freezer is cold enough for ice production (-4°F or below). If all checks pass, the ice maker assembly may need replacement.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does E15 mean on a Bosch refrigerator?
On Bosch refrigerators, E15 means the ice maker has malfunctioned. This is different from E15 on Bosch dishwashers, which means water in the base pan.
Is E15 the same on Bosch dishwashers and fridges?
No. E15 on a dishwasher means water leak detected. E15 on a refrigerator means ice maker malfunction. Same code, completely different meaning.
Why is my Bosch fridge not making ice?
If showing E15, the ice maker mechanism has failed. Check that the freezer is cold enough (-4°F) and the water supply is connected. If those are fine, the ice maker assembly needs replacement.
