Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Bosch's own guidance for E22 on its dishwashers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Twist out the filter assembly and wash it under running water with mild soap and a soft brush.
While the filter is out, check that the drain pump cover is in place and nothing is lodged under it.
Refit the filter so it locks, and clean it regularly from now on.
If E22 returns with a clean filter, book a visit.
What not to do
E22 is not in itself a sign of a failed part. Bosch's first answer is a dirty filter, which it says needs regular cleaning.
