# Bosch error code H9E

### What this one means

The hot water supply is not reaching the machine. It is a code the manufacturer publishes for this appliance, not one we have worked out — and it is decoded here rather than left as three characters on a display.

### The other ways your machine may say it

The same condition is published under more than one label, because it has been carried across generations of this appliance:

- **A water tap icon is shown** — how a model with no digital display says it. On that machine, the lights are the code

### What the code covers

A published cause names a circuit rather than a component, which is the single most useful thing to know before ordering a part. This one covers:

- A closed hot tap
- A kinked or pinched hot hose
- Low hot-water pressure

### What to try yourself

- Check the hot water tap is on and the hose is connected to it
- Straighten or replace a kinked hose
- Run the kitchen hot tap to see how the pressure looks

### Then what

Only the models plumbed for hot fill show this. In a building where the hot supply is shared, low pressure at certain hours is a genuine cause rather than a curiosity.

This code is published for washers. The [full list of codes](https://boschmiami.support/error-codes/) has the rest of them, searchable, including the labels older and newer machines use for the same conditions.
