Each step comes from Bosch's own guidance for E23 on its dishwashers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Stop the cycle and do not keep restarting it with water in the tub.
Bosch gives no owner fix for E23 on its page, only a service call.
Book a visit so the drain pump can be tested for a blockage or a failed motor.
What not to do
It is not the same as E24 or E25, where Bosch walks you through clearing the hose and the pump cover yourself.
