Examples · Bosch E:18
Hypothetical case: a Bosch WAW285H0GB or WAW325H0GB shows E:18 and retains water after an attempted drain. Manual 9001344655_A, page 54, associates the code with a blocked pump or drain and refers to pages 51–52. Before acting, confirm the complete E-Nr, including its suffix, and that the manual applies to your unit.
A visible hose kink supports restricted drainage; it does not prove a failed pump. If the hose is clear and the warning remains, that observation alone neither confirms nor rules out the pump. Record the code, programme phase and observations for the technician. Perform only user-accessible checks allowed by the manual, with power isolated and water cool; stop for leaks or electrical risk.
Stop using the appliance and seek help if there is water, a burning smell, smoke, sparks or unusual heat.
