Short answer

Bosch Dishwasher Not Draining: The Short Answer

A Bosch dishwasher with water left in the bottom usually has a clogged filter, a piece of glass or a seed stuck in the drain pump, a blocked drain hose or air gap, or a failed drain pump. Bosch shows E24 or E25 when this happens. The filter and pump cover are easy to check yourself. If that does not fix it, we repair it from $175.
What it means

What E24 and E25 mean

  • E24The dishwasher could not drain in time. Often a kinked hose or a blocked air gap or garbage disposal connection.
  • E25The drain pump is blocked or its cover is loose.
Try this first

Check these first

  1. Take out the bottom rack, twist and lift the round filter, and rinse it.
  2. Under the filter is a small round pump cover. Pop it open and feel for glass, bones or a fruit pit.
  3. If you have a new garbage disposal, make sure the knockout plug was removed where the dishwasher hose connects. This is a very common cause after a kitchen remodel.
  4. Run a quick cycle and press Start for a few seconds to force a drain.
Time for a technician

When to Call Us

  • The filter and pump are clear and the water stays.

Got questions?

Bosch Dishwasher Not Draining FAQ

Why does my Bosch smell even after it drains?

Food in the filter and a dirty sump. Clean the filter weekly and run a hot cycle with a dishwasher cleaner once a month.

Does the dishwasher need the air gap?

If your sink has one, it must be clear. If there is none, the drain hose needs a high loop under the counter so water does not flow back.

Can you install a new Bosch if mine is not worth fixing?

Yes. See dishwasher installation, $175 to $225.

How much does the repair cost?

The diagnostic is $75 and it is free if you go ahead with the repair. Repairs start from $175, and you approve the price before any work starts. The repair comes with a 30-day labor warranty.

Yes, in many cases. We work Monday to Saturday, 8am to 8pm. Call or text (346) 431-1725 or book online at nurappliance.com and we will find the earliest time.
