Bosch dishwashers E25 error

The drain pump is blocked or its cover is loose or missing.

E25

What this code can mean

Bosch associates E25 with a blocked drain pump or a pump cover that is not correctly seated.

Safe first checks

  1. 1
    Turn off power to the dishwasher before inspecting user-serviceable parts.
  2. 2
    Use the exact model manual to locate the filter and verify that the pump cover is present and seated.
  3. 3
    Request service rather than reaching into the pump area when sharp debris may be present.

Possible causes

  • The drain-pump cover is loose or missing.
  • Debris or standing water is obstructing the drain-pump area.
Stop conditions
  • Do not reach into standing water or a pump area containing broken glass or sharp debris.
  • Stop if water is leaking or electrical components may be wet.

Use Bosch support or an authorized servicer if the pump cover cannot be checked safely or E25 persists.
