Bosch Dishwasher E25: Pump Cover and Obstruction Checks
THE SHORT ANSWER
The drain pump is obstructed, or its cover is loose or missing.
Bosch’s E25 page identifies an obstructed drain pump or a loose or missing pump cover. The cover is beneath the filter on the designs described in the source.
Check the model manual before attempting any pump-cover access.
Disconnect power before permitted pump-area maintenance; let water cool and watch for sharp debris. Never run the appliance with a cover missing.
WHAT YOU MAY NOTICE
Symptoms to record
- E25 is displayed.
- The pump cover may be visibly out of position when accessed as instructed.
UNDERSTAND THE POSSIBILITIES
Causes & useful observations
A code identifies a condition. It does not, by itself, confirm which part needs repair.
| Possible cause | What to look for | Safe check / next step |
|---|---|---|
| Loose or missing pump cover | The cover is not seated as the manual shows. | Check the manual’s fitting instructions. |
| Obstruction near the drain pump | Debris may be present beneath the filter area. | Only perform maintenance expressly allowed in your manual. |

THE DETAILS MATTER
Scope & troubleshooting notes
No universal removal technique
Although Bosch illustrates a cover-removal technique, ErrHive defers to the exact model manual so an unfamiliar cover is not forced or damaged.
YOUR NEXT DECISION
When to stop and get help
Stop if the cover is damaged, cannot seat correctly, or safe removal of debris is not possible.
