The Bosch dishwasher E09 error code indicates that the dishwasher has been unable to drain properly. This can be caused by a number of things, such as a clogged drain hose, a faulty drain pump, or a blockage in the dishwasher's drain line. If the dishwasher is unable to drain, it will eventually cause the water to back up into the dishwasher, causing the E09 error code to be displayed.
