Error E25 in a Bosch dishwasher
Stopping your Bosch dishwasher during operation is unlikely to make you happy. Firstly, something could break, and secondly, you will have to manually wash all the dishes. And as they say, you get used to good things quickly. But there are no other options, we will have to figure out what happened. The error code on the E25 display will help with this, but to fix the problem, you need to know how it is deciphered.
What does this code mean
Error E25 in this German brand machine informs the user that the pipe that connects to the drain pump is clogged. On some models, this may not be a pipe, but the base of the drain hose connected to the pump.
Another interpretation of error E25 sounds like this: the drain pump is blocked or its cover is missing.
It is clear that the impeller in the pump is blocked by some foreign object or debris. This error can appear not only when there is a blockage, but also when there is no cover on the pump.
Causes
The cause of this error is most often clogged with debris and food debris when the user neglects the simple rules for operating this equipment. The following may get stuck in the dishwasher drain system:
- bones from meat (fish) or seeds from fruits;
- fruit peel;
- napkins;
- toothpicks;
- fragments that broke while washing dishes.
Even if you clear the plates of leftover food before placing them in the dishwasher basket, this is not enough. A blockage can occur if the user does not rinse the machine of grease for a long time. As a result, fat accumulates in the pipe, creating a plug through which the pump cannot pump out water.There is only one way out - cleaning.
Troubleshooting
So, if the dishwasher has stopped and a clogged error appears, then first of all you need to remove the water that is at the bottom of the machine. But first, disconnect the equipment from the electrical network, and then follow these steps:
- Pull out the baskets with dishes.
- Remove the lower rocker arm so it is out of the way.
- Scoop out the dirty water into a separate container.
- Unscrew the filter cover.
- Pull out the filter cup.
- Inspect what's inside and, if necessary, blot up all the water with a thick rag.
- Take long tweezers and remove the flapper that covers the pump impeller.
- Inspect the impeller, remove any stuck debris with tweezers, and check the operation of the impeller.
- Put all the parts in their places, check the operation of the dishwasher.
If the work done did not help, then you will have to clean the drain pipe or hose. You can get to these parts through the bottom of the dishwasher. Let's free the washing machine from dirty water, take it out to a free place, disconnecting it from the water supply and sewerage. Then place the washing machine on the back wall and unscrew the bottom, be careful not to pull the tray, there may be wires going to it, they need to be carefully disconnected.
When you remove the bottom, all the details will immediately open. Disconnect the pipe from the drain pump and clean it. If a hose is immediately connected to the pump, then disconnect the hose and rinse it completely using a special cable with a brush. Then return all the parts to their places and check the operation of the equipment.
If cleaning the machine does not help, which is unlikely, then error E25 appeared in the Bosch dishwasher due to a broken drain pump.
If the drain pump breaks down, everything will depend on the nature of the breakdown.If the impeller breaks, replace this part in the pump, but if the winding burns out, then replace the entire pump. Don't rely on your abilities and capabilities? Call qualified specialists.
We will stop our story here. We hope now you know why error E25 may occur in your dishwasher. By the way, if it is interspersed with other errors, you can see their decoding in the article Bosch dishwasher errors.
