Bosch Dishwasher Not Draining: The Short Answer
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.
Check these first
- Take out the bottom rack, twist and lift the round filter, and rinse it.
- Under the filter is a small round pump cover. Pop it open and feel for glass, bones or a fruit pit.
- 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.
- Run a quick cycle and press Start for a few seconds to force a drain.
When to Call Us
- The filter and pump are clear and the water stays.
- The pump hums but does not move water.
- There is water under the dishwasher or on the floor.

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.
