Bosch washing machine
Fault
The washing machine beeped, displayed E18 and retained water in the drum.
- Assessment
- The filter, waste hose and outlet were clear. Pump testing identified a failed drain pump.
- Work
- We replaced the pump, checked its seal and secured the hose connections.
- Parts
- Washing-machine drain pump.
Checks and outcome
A fill, spin and drain test confirmed that the drum emptied and reached spin without E18 returning. The pump and hose joints remained dry.
