What E25 usually means
E25 usually belongs to a drain pump or drain path category on supported Bosch dishwasher models.
Codes can vary by exact Bosch dishwasher model number, production year, and regional design. Use this as first-pass guidance, then confirm the model-specific manual or manufacturer support page before opening panels or replacing parts.
First checks
Remove standing water only as the manual allows, then check the filter and visible sump area for debris.
Glass, labels, seeds, or hard debris can create drain symptoms, but forced disassembly can damage parts.
- Disconnect power before manual water removal.
- Clean the accessible filter.
- Look for visible debris in manual-approved areas.
- Do not remove hidden pump wiring.
When to stop
Stop if debris cannot be removed safely, the pump cover is damaged, or E25 returns after accessible cleaning.
Keep the full model number, exact E25 display text, cycle name, and timing ready before contacting Bosch support or a qualified technician.
Model numbers affected
Commonly searched model families include built-in dishwashers, front-control dishwashers, top-control dishwashers, and compact dishwashers.
This is not a confirmed model-number list. Match the exact code to the full model number on the appliance tag before ordering parts, opening panels, or booking service.
