Does this guide apply to your appliance?

Match the brand, device type and complete display code. The same code can mean something different on another product family or market; a series name does not confirm every model in that series.

No exact model number is recorded here. Confirm the code in your appliance manual before following a check.

Likely causes

  • Debris is blocking the drain pump.
  • The drain-pump cover is loose or not seated correctly.
  • The drain-pump cover is missing.

What to try

Check the pump area using your model’s manual

Moderate
  1. Switch off the dishwasher and disconnect its power.
  2. Find your exact model’s manual and confirm the approved procedure before removing any parts.
  3. If the manual directs you to, remove the filter and check whether the pump cover is seated.
  4. Carefully clear only visible debris and standing water from the accessible pump area; watch for sharp objects.
  5. Refit the cover and filter as directed by the manual, then restore power and check whether E25 returns.

This step is marked caution. Stop if you are not qualified to continue.

Arrange service if the error persists or access is uncertain

Easy

This is a service referral, not a do-it-yourself repair procedure.

  1. Stop troubleshooting if you cannot safely access the pump or are unsure how to refit its cover.
  2. If E25 returns after accessible debris is cleared and the cover is correctly seated, contact Bosch support or a qualified appliance technician.
  3. In the U.S., Bosch support lists 1-800-944-2904.

This step is marked professional. Stop if you are not qualified to continue.

The code returned or the check did not help?

Avoid repeated resets and do not select a replacement part from the code alone. Record the exact code, full model number, when it appeared, and the checks you tried with their results. Share these details with the manufacturer or service technician.

Disconnecting power does not establish that internal components are safe to touch. This guide does not authorize opening electrical components or bypassing safety devices.
