Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Bosch's own guidance for E25 on its dishwashers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Turn the machine off, lift out the filters and bail the water from the bottom of the tub.
Take off the drain pump cover, remove whatever is lodged behind it, and refit it until it clicks shut.
Disconnect the drain hose into a bucket, flush out any debris, reconnect it and run a rinse cycle.
Book a visit if the rinse still ends with water in the tub or E25 on the display.
What not to do
E25 does not by itself mean the drain pump motor is dead. Bosch keeps a separate code, E23, for a pump that is blocked, clogged or defective.
