Bosch E25 is a drain pump that is blocked, or a drain pump cover that is loose or missing. It is not the filter-clog code E22. The filter still comes out, but only so you can see the pump cover underneath it. Check that the cover is not loose. To clear a blockage, pry the cover off with a spoon until it clicks, grip it, pull upward until you feel resistance, then pull forward to remove it. Take debris and standing water out with a sponge. Some debris is sharp. If E25 remains, use the owner's manual or contact Bosch Customer Support.
