Step 5: Remove and debris and make sure the propeller is moving freely
Step 6: Put back together
Step 7: Turn back on and put on a quick rinse cycle

I hope you find this video helpful instead of having to spend a fair bit calling out an engineer / electrician. Let me know what country you are from when you comment. I am from the UK!
Thank you...I hope your wife is rinsing dishes now...Bosch diswashers cannot grind food...kind of unfortuante...but I guess less parts to break.
RiseUpBlue oh god no, she got me doing it 😉😂
Philip Nepal I'm glad it helped!

I live in the USA! Ty for your video
Wonderful help! I'm an 80 year old grandmother from Massachusetts (USA) hunkering down to avoid coronavirus. It took me an hour and a half but I did it! Found two little pieces of glass and the wire from a bread bag. Thank you, thank you.
I'm so glad it helped 😷😷😷
You saved me hundreds in a call out fee and labour for a tiny twig of grape stem which was stuck behind the propeller! You're a legend!!!
Ha no worries. Happy to help 😁
Thanks from Denmark - my dishwasher is working again.Your video works with Siemens as well. From damsel no longer in distress
Oh that was a beautiful shot of taking out that whatchamacallit that was blocking access to the water pump. This was exactly what I was looking for when I came to UA-cam today.
Thanks from the US! Super easy fix! The bottom of the drain was plugged with detergent build up and a popcorn kernel. Cleaned that out. Now it is good to go!
Thank you from a wife who does clear the plates when stacking the dishwasher and was able to fix said dishwasher when blocked. I did it with your help. Thanks.
Sammie Feasting is Fun that's Great! Glad it helped. Hope you have a good weekend
Worked perfectly, only 2 days before Thanksgiving and I got the Bosch Dishwasher error message and it stopped working. Fixed the dishwasher in 15 minutes. Dan you are a star! Thank you!
Glad you got it sorted!
Omg, thank you! Just saved me a fortune - how can dishwasher people charge so much? I’d cleaned the filters but given up till I saw your video. And thanks to the person who suggested using a straw cleaner, I pinched a pipe cleaner off the kids and it worked a treat.
Thank you for helping me clean my clogged Bosch. I’m a 57 year old Mom of three and I was able to save our family an expensive plumber’s call because of your video. Whoo hoo! Thank you !
Hey. Happy new year. I'm glad it helped 🙏
Thanks to your video I managed to solve the problem that was affecting my dishwasher. The 'check water ' would come on and my heart would sink. My hubby & I would be then take turns at tilting it 45 degrees to empty any water out😂 It would be work for one cycle then break down on the next. That is until I found your video. You've saved us a few bob😀. Thanks!
Excellent 😀
So I had seen another video which required a wet/dry shop vac..went out and bought it and then seen your video..all good, no vac required, thank you! From Canada :)
Jo Jo that's great to hear! 😁
That would have been a great idea! I only had a small plastic syringe - hahahaha! I can laugh about it now :D
oh man, I thought my dishwasher had lots of crap in it, but your the winner on that aspect. :) Thanks for the advice, my second time with a sponge emptying it, going to see if I can get that white thing out, and try yet again.
Can not thank-you enough for this wonderful video...thought we would have the dreaded call to a plumber. Followed your video, and when we pulled the inside plug we found debris. We put everything back together and it now runs just fine. Thank-you for this video...so much!!!!💗💗💗
I'm so glad it helped and you managed to solve the problem 🙏
This video was very helpful, did all that was suggested and everything is fine. Weird though, it felt like I did nothing more than take a few things apart, put them back together and all was good.
Thank you for this video. Kent Uk. My problem was lemon pips. Thankfully I have an old Vax 2000 so I hooked it up, and sucked up the pips. Re ran the cycle and it seems to have worked.. Phew. Not something you want at 1am in the morning. Though it wouldn't let me change the cycle as I'd already tried to re run it. Before your video. I didn't realise that lemon pips were such a terror in a dishwasher. I got about ten out.
Thank you, thank you. There was no visible debris in my washer. When I took it apart, I stuck a straw cleaner in the water return, and a bunch of water came out, so it was clogged, probably with sludge. Worked like a charm.
Brilliant!
This was EXACTLY what I needed. Worked like a charm. Thank you so much!!!
Thank you Dan!! Your video was so helpful and my bosch dishwasher is now draining again!! Thank goodness for You Tube and You!! 😊😊
So pleased it helped 😁
Thank you!
This worked wonders!
ALSO the cable attached from the dishwasher to the sink i disconnected, with a bowl underneath. That contained small bits of... salmon? Big enough to block of the water to be pushed OUT of the machine (to the sink).
That solved it!
My pleasure. Glad it worked
Thank you very much for this informative video. Now our Bosch dishwasher works again. We will make sure to rinse our dishes better in the future. I`m from Finland.
I'm so glad it helped
A silicon spatula does just as well as rinsing and saves water usage
I fixed my Bosch Dishwasher w the internet!....& your help. Thank you so much! While I had cleaned the filter mechanism many times, I hadn’t thought to clean out the spinners. It worked like a charm!
I’m from the U.S.
LadyFalconer great to hear! Glad you got it sorted. It's always worth giving it a clean once a month or so to prevent break downs but in general the model I have is pretty hard wearing
LadyFalconer
nnn
You have saved me so much stress several times with this!!! Thanks
Thanks for the video! Saved me an $85+ service call. Fixed it right up.
I'm gone do it on Monday, thank you for your presentation. 😅
Kia ora Dan - "the wife" here from Aotearoa New Zealand. I am the main plumber in our household and do the unblocking of our drains, including E24 and E25 dishwasher problems. I notice many people commenting on here would like to know more (a video perhaps) of how to access the waste pipe, but you haven't responded to any of them. Would be polite to offer a response I think. Also, you seem to have skipped over how to extract material from around or under the impeller, so not really any advance on what's in the manual. One last thing, if you loaded the dishwasher yourself, problem solved beforeit occurs!
We siphoned the dishwasher with a bit of old hose and a bowl. The juice I accidentally sucked up actually tasted really good too!
😳😳😳 Glad it was tasty
This video saved me a service call and $$$$$$$. Thanks, error 24 with clean light displayed. Total drain issue.
Thanks for the video. It helped me figure out how to re-fit the valve after clearing the waste area. 👍🏾
Mate, you are an absolute bloody legend!!!
Yahoo! My dishwasher is working again! Thank you so much, from Bundaberg Australia 😁
Thank You for the video! I am watching second time in a few years
I've just ordered a new Bosch dishwasher which is coming on the 22nd. I've read many positive reviews about them and ditched an extremely expensive to repair Miele!
Brilliant! We are in the US but have the same sump pump. I just didn't know how to remove the plug. Thanks!
Fantastic tip on how to unblock the Bosch dishwasher!
Poppy Reflects brilliant thank you 😉
Thank you Dan, excellent down to earth video which backed up the instruction manual and gave me the confidence to try this fix. Wasn't sure it would work as there wasn't a visible obstruction, but it did! Rachel from London.
Glad it helped! I hope you are keeping well during these very strange times 🙏
@@DanstheEngineer Thanks, I'm well, strange times indeed, no plumbers allowed in during lockdown so your tips saved me money and a lot of washing up by hand! Hoping you and your family stay safe too!
Thanks for the video. Please tell your wife it’s a dishwasher not a garbage disposal😂🤣😂💐. I’ve also found that hard water lime chunks build up inside the wash arms. I rinse & tap them out by gently by banging it on sink ledge🙃
Awesome. Worked, my issue was the impeller some grated carrot stuck around it. Tried everything didn't see the white cover for the impeller. Once this was taken out worked perfectly. Big thumbs up!!
Brilliant. Glad it helped. Just don't forget to turn off the mains power before sticking your fingers in!
Hey man, overall nice and informative video, but i would like to point out 2 things.
1- at 2:24, you do not need to use pliers, your hands are more then enough even when it is wet. Just pull/push away from the edge and it will come out (not up and away).
2- at 3:50, you do exactly that until you hear a click, only then it is placed back right.
These "tips" come from my experience, hope they help :)
In lieu of a sponge I used a wet and dry shop vac but GREAT video as the other ones were not my like model, thank you !
Bonus! No problem. Glad it helped.
Thanks so much for this. The Bosch is back Baby!!!
😁😁😁😁
Should have eaten all the corn and peas (when fresh not now)! :-) Anyway thanks. I've got a Bosch. Thought it would be great but nah. When folks ask what model I just say "E24". The quest for a decent dishwasher continues.
How do those great big pieces of sweetcorn get through that really fine filter? I don't understand the filter assembly at all, there are two filters a perforated plate and a fine wire mesh basket, but there's a great big hole down the middle through the knob that bypasses both. Weird.
This worked! Thanks for your help! Had a cherry stem blocking the impeller! From Washington state, USA.
Ha I'm pleased to hear!
I’ve had same issue. I had to say make sure you scrape the bloody food off the plates first.
Found a massive fatberg in there, thanks for the help guide!
Thank you for your fantastic video. I have fixed the dishwasher today! Feeling proud of myself :-) Obviously couldn't call for an engineer in these lock down times!
I'm very pleased it helped you. Especially during these times.
Saved us a call to the mechanic!! Thanks!! :)
tadlos61 Great! No worries. Thanks for watching
Thanks for the video on how to get the white insert out, saved me having to call out an engineer :-)
My pleasure
Thx I had a large piece of glass blocking it and didn't realize I could detach the drain like that when I cleaned it earlier lol
BRAVO!!! I've had to do this, without the help of a video, and it was painful, no end! Well done, it will help many people!!!
Thanks worked a treat! I had one of the frame clips stuck in the filter.
Not really a secret hack. Does tell you in the manual but nobody reads them
Hence what makes it a secret! (;
From USA, I use a wet/dry shop vacuum to suck all that crap out , It is a bit easier than a sponge, But thank you for the video !!
Thank you so much from PA in USA! Saved me lots of $! ty
Thank you! Very helpful. I am living in India and we are under lockdown for COVID. Now I can fix it myself because I can’t get a plumber in!
I'm so glad it has helped 😁🙏
Thankyou M8, small sliver of chicken bone in mine; it sometimes caught the impeller sometimes missed it. But just small enough to hide behind that guard . I'd heard a slight grinding noise and feared the pump bearings were on their way out .. UK
Nice one. Glad you found it! It's worth giving it a little clean now and then 😎✌
thanks dan, denmark here!
Thanks- just saved me calling out an engineer! 👍
Elastic band in the impeller! In the U.K.
It worked! Thank you! Great video, good tip. (from The Netherlands)
Thank you for your video, it was very well done however, I have a question and a suggestion. Question: Did you say to turn off the electricity related to the washer before doing this? Suggestion: If you have a (turkey or other item) baster it is easier than a sponge, you can just suck it up with the baster. Again, thanks for taking the time to make this video. I am from the US.
Thanks Carolyn. Yes I would always suggest to turn it off and do say this.
Perfect suggestion.
Thank you for the video it’s saved me a lot of stress and money! 👍🏻
Thanks for the video - and with your help I fixed our dishwasher too.
TeeNnGee TeeNnGee That's great to hear thank you
Great video! Fixed my problem! Thanks!
Such a useful video!
Thank you! Solved our problem!!!
Thanks man solved the problem😊
Thank you for advertising that or teaching. Because for me last night when I'm take it out and clean. I don't know how to put it back sir.
Sorted me out. Cheers dude!
Thank you! This saved the day. I’m in Kuwait 👍🏻
Awesome. Have a great day 🙏
Brilliant thank you!
I have cleaned my spotless and still have problems draining. I took the drain hose off too and seems to be no blockage. I couldn't blow into it as I imagine it has a check valve to only go one way. I tried sucking on the drain tube and got a mouthful of nasty water so I know there is nothing blocking the drain tube. This has happened several times with that error code 24. Usually a quick clean fixes it but this time it is being stubborn. From what I have heard the Bosch dishwasher does this a lot. I guess buying and expensive German name brand was not a good idea. In the past I have had dishwashers that were half the money and never had a problem like this. I'm on the verge of tossing this two year old piece of junk to the curb. Will never buy another Bosch brand again. Thanks for the vid. I did everything the same as you did and it was barely dirty.
watching the video just to listen to the sweet accent :-) .... yes, I also have problems with my Bosch dishwasher. whatever I do the Error Code will not go away and the water is not draining. I am exhausted.
Klaus Sengenberger 😁😀 have you taken the waste hose out and checked if that is clear? Or wherever it is plumbed into?
This is why I wouldn't buy any other brand dishwasher than Bosch. Ease of maintenance and virtually trouble free. Good vid! Thanks from the across the pond and on the far LEFT COAST- California
I've got a Siemens dishwasher and all the parts inside look *exactly* the same as these.
Ran the dishwasher on the auto cycle last night. Checked it this morning and it ran right through with no issues. Hopefully it will continue to work ok.
Steve Fick good luck!
Great thank you im going to give it a go myself. Fingers crossed
Its working again. Thank you
thanks for the video. helped me to sort mine out this morning
jas sahota no worries! Glad it helped and thanks for watching
Excellent! 😎
Thanks, It seems to have worked! Coffee beans....
Hi Dan- I got rid of all the water, cleaned the filter and propeller is fine but light is still flashing for Bosch dishwasher, any ideas gratefully received!
very helpful I have repaired my dishwasher in 10 minutes
Thanks! It works in Australia as well !
Thank you so much. Our dishwasher is an older model and your tutorial was spot on. I can't tell you how appreciative I am that you recorded this for us!
Scrape ya plates before putting in dishwasher! Great video though👍👍
Worked a treat!
Ausilia Cristiano hey, I'm glad to hear that!
Just before Christmas its was a life saver! Thanks!
Solon Saoulis I'm glad it helped! Nobody wants loads of hand washing at Christmas 😁🎅
thanks done the job xx
Darling you have to rinse your stuff of the plates xx
The sponge is pricelss................................love it.....Im a Mum and find that hilarious thank you......:-D
😎😎😎😎
Very helpful thanks
Great thanks it worked
My hero ;-)
Glad to have helped!!!!
@@DanstheEngineer You did… thank you from a fellow UA-camr… tell me if you have a film related problem and I help you out 😂
@@MediaDivision ahhh thanks 😎😀
I blew some compressed air through the drain hose while it was running. Then it drained really well after when the pump came on. I've ran it through 7 complete cycles with no trouble. I think there was just a bunch of crap stuck in the drain hose. Hopefully it won't give me any more grief.
cheers mate, thanks for the info 🤙
Any time sir
Helpful, thank you !!!
Glad it helped
My dishwasher doesn't drain, it usually drains alittle and then stops draining but continues to rumble. I think this means I don't have blocked tubes. Do I have a bad pump? Do drain pumps work intermittently? Thanks for the video
This worked for me!!! Amazing!
(From Sweden)
And I saved about 200 USD
@@sojsenable I'm glad it helped! 😎
Saving us from doing the dishes by hand Boxing Day 2020. That would have been the final straw...
Fabulous video, thanks for uploading.
I have a question...
How easy is it for the rotaty-thing to spin around when the wastewater exits?
We have a virtually identical Siemens d/w that looks exactly the same when you get down to the drainage bits.
I think we may have hair wrapped around ours since it's a bit tricky to rotate it.
How we end up having hair in there is anybody's guess but all three of us here have long hair so at least we know where it's coming from!
Cheers :)
It should move freely so yes quite possible to have hair wrapped around it. It can be so fiddly to try and free up hair but I would use twizzers or similar. Some use chemicals but I personally wouldn't.
@@DanstheEngineer Thank you so much! You're an absolute star :)
I'm not a fan of using the chemicals either...
Surgical operation will commence today!
It's fixed!
I bow in your general direction. Surrey, I believe :)
Always worth removing all the debris which has bypassed the filter. Should never have sweet corn in the outlet. SCRAPE PLATES FIRST. No need to rinse!
I'm not sure our Bush Dishwasher lets you take that little plastic piece off? Or do all dishwashers? Ours seems to look a little different so I'm scared I'll break it! Thanks
this is promising! I don't understand (I'm American) what he said at 4:47 "take the waste out to back" Whaa???
