Bosch dishwasher E25 error code
- Dishwasher
Bosch dishwasher E25 indicates the drain pump cannot run — usually because something is jamming the impeller. Broken glass, popcorn kernels, and ceramic chip fragments are frequent culprits on Bosch units with the removable filter system. E25 differs from E24: E25 means the pump detected a mechanical block, not just slow drainage.

How to fix E25
- Turn off power at the breaker and remove the filter assembly from the tub floor.
- Reach into the sump and carefully remove debris — wear gloves if glass may be present.
- Spin the impeller by hand — it should rotate freely with slight resistance.
- Restore power and run a short cycle. E25 should clear if the impeller spins.
- If E25 returns with a free impeller, the drain pump may have failed electrically — replace 00611322 after confirming no blockages.
Call a pro when: Call a technician if you cannot reach debris in the sump or the pump housing leaks after service.
