Turn the machine off, lift out the filters and bail the water from the bottom of the tub. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### How is Bosch E25 different from E23? E25 points at a blocked pump, a loose pump cover or a clogged hose, all of which an owner can clear. E23 is the code Bosch keeps for a pump that is blocked, clogged or defective and sends to service. ### Why might my Bosch display E-25 with a hyphen? Bosch's page prints the code both ways, E25 and E-25. They are the same drain message. --- **[Read on the site: Bosch dishwasher showing E25 | DishwasherRepair.center](https://dishwasherrepair.center/error-codes/bosch-e25/)** **[Book a visit with DishwasherRepair.center](https://dishwasherrepair.center/schedule/)**
