Bosch Draining Issue

[ian07]

Hi, I have a Bosch Exxcl 7 that comes up with error code E18.
I have followed Bosch’s online help, take out trap at front etc but I still have an intermittent draining problem.
I have even looked to see if the impella is spinning on drain (it is)
I have just tried it on a 15 min wash & came up E18, tried the Drain programme a few times & its drained fine.

Any ideas?

Cheers for any help

Hi,
When it does actually drain it seems fine, when its not it sounds like a muted grumble/moan (hard to describe)

you can get intermittent drain problem with blockages. I have had coins up hoses where they act like a valve depending on their orientation. if the hose has been extended check where it joins

if the groan you describe comes from the pump may be a worn bearing

how old is it ?

I’ll check the drain hose tonight when I get in.
I think it’s about 8-9yrs old

Thanks again

Hi,
OK I think the pump (bearings) might have gone. I’ve checked the drain hose & all seems OK.
I’ve un done it from the waste pipe & put it in a large saucepan,while in the pan it empties really well, but if i left it up (to worktop height) then it struggles & not much happens (apert from a noise that sounds like its struggling)
I could record a quick video it thats needed.

Cheers
