Bosch Washing Machine Error Code E25 – Meaning and Possible Fixes
Bosch Washing Machine Error Code E25
If your Bosch washing machine displays Error Code E25, it usually indicates that the appliance has detected a problem with the drain pump system. This error can appear when the washing machine attempts to remove water from the drum but the pump cannot operate correctly.
Bosch washing machines rely on a drain pump to remove water during wash and spin cycles. If the appliance detects that the pump is blocked, restricted or unable to operate normally, the control system may stop the cycle and display the E25 error code.
On some Bosch washing machine models this error may also appear as F25.
