Bush Washing Machine Error Codes

If your Bush washing machine is displaying an error code, the appliance has detected a problem and stopped the programme as a precaution. Understanding what these codes mean can help you identify whether the issue is something you can resolve yourself — such as cleaning the pump filter or checking the water supply — or whether professional assistance is required.

Bush washing machines display error codes E01 to E04. Note that it can take up to 10 minutes for an error code to register after a fault occurs. Error codes may vary between models — always consult your user manual for model-specific information.

Try This First (Quick Reset)
* Switch the machine off at the mains
* Leave it unplugged for a few minutes
* Reconnect the power, switch back on and restart the programme

This can clear temporary faults and save you an unnecessary repair call.
