how to check a Bosch dishwasher pump cover after E25
on the scoped Bosch models, E25 can indicate an obstructed pump or a loose or incorrectly attached cover. if the manual permits access, disconnect and cool the dishwasher before checking the removable filter and cover.
broken glass may be present. this is cleaning and cover seating, not a pump-motor repair.

scope: Bosch models whose manual permits filter and pump-cover cleaning.
tools and materials
- suitable hand protection
when to get help
- stop for damaged parts, a cover that will not release, or sharp debris you cannot remove safely. have a repairer assess the problem.
steps
- unplug before opening the pump area
switch off, unplug and let the dishwasher cool. follow the manual's filter and pump-cover release method; do not force a latch or assume the cover unscrews.
- look for loose debris
wear suitable hand protection: broken glass may be present. remove debris only if you can do so safely. do not force a jammed impeller, dismantle the motor or remove panels.
- secure the cover and filter
refit and lock the removable pieces as the manual shows. if E25 returns, arrange service rather than testing the pump's wiring.
