what does E25 mean on my Bosch dishwasher?
on Bosch models using E25 for a pump-area fault, debris or an unsecured pump cover can cause the warning. E25 does not by itself prove the pump motor needs replacing.
model scope: Bosch dishwasher models that use E25 for a pump-area fault.
use the exact manual to establish whether owner filter and cover cleaning is allowed. switch off, unplug and allow retained water to cool first. broken glass can be present; never reach blindly, force a latch or turn a jammed impeller by force.
the linked cover-check guide is appropriate only for that permitted care. refit and secure removable parts as instructed. damaged parts, inaccessible sharp debris or a cover that will not release need a repairer. if E25 returns, arrange service rather than opening panels, dismantling the motor or testing wiring.
first checks
- check access before opening
read the model's cover-release instructions, then cool and disconnect before permitted handling. stop for unsafe debris or resistance.
possible causes
- debris trapped in the pump area
- a pump cover that has not been secured
