Re: Bosch SMS50E02GB/04 not draining properly
The drain hose just slots into an outflow pipe, leaving an air gap. The machine was pulled out over the weekend and the drain hose was just flowing into a bucket so we could check for any residue and also check the flow – and when it does drain it’s very fast.
We can’t see what’s going on where the hose attaches to the machine – I’ve seen on YouTube some bosch models have a panel you can take off to access the hoses and check for blockages, but ours doesn’t have that. Also, the pattern of errors doesn’t really suggest a blockage, unless water coming out of the initial pump at the start of a cycle, or through the abort cycle, is routed differently (which would be weird)?
Re: Bosch SMS50E02GB/04 not draining properly
OK, we have now established the pattern with the errors –
The machine is not draining at the end of a full wash cycle. It shows an E25 error, and there are variable amounts of water left (we haven’t necessarily observed exactly what it’s doing as we usually run full cycles overnight). Crockery is clean so it appears to be completing the wash and rinse parts of the cycle.
Switching off and switching on the machine clears the error code. If a new wash cycle is started, it starts by pumping out the residual water (usually either warm or cold by this point) with no problem.
If a cycle is aborted part-way through, the water (hot) is pumped out with no problem.
So it seems to be able to pump both hot and cold water, but just not at the end of a cycle.
Any other ideas?
many thanks

I’ve just checked with the man who knows and it’s pumping out hot soapy water when a wash is aborted mid-cycle, but not pumping out the final rinse at the end of the cycle.
