Fix e25 error in the dishwasher

For many years, household appliances have been faithfully serving people, making their lives easier and taking on all the dirty work. These items include a dishwasher. It is it that saves users from the need to wash a whole mountain of dirty dishes with their hands, because you also have to have time to go to work, and in the evening there is no time.

Currently, there are models from leading manufacturers on the market. One of the most popular brands of dishwashers is considered a model from the German manufacturer Bosch. Home appliance items from this manufacturer are popular due to their low prices.

However, sooner or later, a number of malfunctions can occur in the machine, resulting in malfunctions in the system, such as leaks, water drainage lack of water intake in the dishwasher. This may be due to many factors. Each malfunction has its own specific code. In the instructions you can find a complete list of all kinds of errors and their codes, which appear on the display after turning on the dishwasher, or vice versa - a sudden stop at the very height of the cycle. This article will discuss in detail the causes of the E25 error and how to fix Bosch dishwashers.

How code is decrypted

During the entire cycle, the dishwasher discards water several times and picks up a new, clean one. Error e25 is associated with a failure of the drainage system. In Bosch dishwashers, this code indicates that the drain pipe is clogged. Depending on the series and modification, this code can display not only the clogging of the drain pipe, but also the base of the drain hose at the point where it is connected to the pump. However, clogging is far from the only reason for blocking the drain pump. Sometimes the reason may be the lack of a cover. For example, the mount is loose or the cover has fallen off.

However, food particles and other substances are the most common cause of the e25 error. At times, fat and scale, gradually accumulating in the pipes, form a dense cork, making it difficult to drain the water. Therefore, most likely, you will have to clean the drain channel.

How to disassemble the machine and clean the filters

As soon as the error information is displayed, it is not necessary to act as usual - turn it off and on again. This method will not work. To clean the drain channel, do the following:

• Disconnect the dishwasher from the mains;
• Shut off the water supply and turn off inlet hose;
• Collect all stagnant water in the hopper with rags in a bucket or any other container;
• Unscrew the cover from the filter;
• Remove the screw located at the very bottom of the hopper;
  

  Collect all stagnant water before disassembling the machine.

• Carefully remove the glass filter. Shake all trash out of it;
• Using improvised means, remove the partition from the impeller of the pump;
• Now clean out all the “insides” of the pump.

It is not necessary to remove the pump in this case - it is enough to pull out all the garbage with the help of long tweezers or improvised sharp tools.

Now try to start the dishwasher again. If this does not help, try to disassemble the dishwasher by disconnecting the pan to get to the drain pump. Here it all depends on the type of malfunction of the drain pump. These issues require consideration in a separate topic.

Scale like a blockage in the nozzle

From time to time on the surface of the parts of the dishwasher white coating occurs - sedimentary residues of mineral salts. This happens in homes where tap water has a high content of potassium salts and bleach - the so-called hard water.

As it accumulates, scale can clog pipes and impede equipment operation. To avoid this scenario, use special salts to soften the water when starting the cycle. These simple measures will help you minimize the risk of breakdown of the dishwasher due to scale and extend the life of the machine. In addition, special salts also prevent white deposits from settling on the dishes and help get rid of the smell of chemistry inside the hopper. Add each time a pair with “tablets” for dishwashers.

Conclusion

The error code only indicates the presence of problems with pumping water, but does not indicate its cause. In this situation, you will have to act by trial and error and be patient, because the causes of malfunctions can be different.

However, in most cases, the E25 error does not require anything more serious than simply cleaning the nozzles and hose. The presence of problems with the drainage system can also be notified by a strange buzz issued by the machine during operation. Try not to ignore the danger signals and take appropriate measures in time.
