Bosch Dishwasher Error Code E25: How to Fix It

The Logic Verdict

My Take: E25 is almost always “The White Cover.” If you cleaned your filter and forgot to snap that little white plastic piece back over the impeller, you will get E25 immediately. It feels like a broken machine, but it’s just a loose piece of plastic. And if that broke, don’t worry—it’s not that expensive. You can find it linked below.

What It Means

The E25 code indicates a Blocked Drain Pump or a Missing Pump Cover. The pump is spinning, but it can’t push water out because the impeller is jammed or the cover isn’t creating the necessary pressure.

Common Causes

1. Missing/Loose Pump Cover (Most Common)
2. Debris (Glass/Seeds) blocking the impeller.
3. Clogged Filter.
4. Blocked Drain Hose (U-Bend).

Step-by-Step Fix

1. Remove Filter: Take out the bottom rack and unscrew the mesh filter cylinder.
2. Check the Pump: Use a spoon to pry off the white plastic pump cover (inside the sump).
3. Clear Debris: Check for string, hair, or glass wrapped around the impeller. Ensure it spins freely.
4. Snap it Back: Crucial Step. You must hear the cover click back into place. If it’s loose, the pump won’t work.
