Washing Machine E18 Error Code Fix Bosch Siemens Pump Filter blocked

Bosch Pump Filter blocked.
Siemens Pump Filter blocked.
I started a washing cycle on the Bosch Washing machine and then mid cycle it stopped with Error Code E18. On this model it indicates the Bosch Pump Filter is blocked and the Bosch washing machine is not draining water properly.
In this video I will show you what I did to diagnose the E18 Washing Machine fault, all the steps I took, how to remove the Bosch Washing machine Pump Filter, remove the Bosch blockage and fix the problem. Hope this helps someone out there, this Bosch Washing Machine fault E18 error (Siemens Washing Machine fault E18 error) seems like a common problem, which is why you should check all pockets before starting a Washing machine cycle.
Hopefully the E18 Error is just a blockage and you haven't damaged the pump. If you hear any Washing Machine strange noises around the pump filter then don't wait for it to break, stop the cycle then clean out that washing machine filter as soon as you can. It will save you money and hassle.
How to clean Bosch Washing Machine Pump Filter ideally is an annual job if you can do that. The washing machine filter will get dirty anyway. If your washing machine isn't draining then hopefully after watching this video it will be draining again and not blocked up anymore.
This was performed on the Bosch Serie 4 VarioPerfect Washing Machine although it should be the same procedure for Siemens E18 Washing Machine error code.

If the filter is Clear and you still have error E18 then check your drainage hose to make sure this isn't blocked up in the hose or the U Bend.

Avoid having to call someone out and save MONEY by fixing it yourself.

Practically wept when I saw the E18 message on the machine. I'm absolutely useless with things like this, but your step by step guide was just brilliant! Thank you so much, Lurgs!!

[gunnar_langemark]

Thank you. Just fixed my washing machine thanks to your video. Having no money for a repair man every time something breaks down, this instruction is appreciated.

[utinazzz]

Massive THANK YOU! Now I am hero of the house because of this man!

Mate, as a single female living in a flat alone far often we find ourselves in difficult domestic situations. Meaning things breakdown in the property and we don’t know what to do. The first thing that comes to mind is “I wish I had a man” ☹️
Your video has been a life and time saver. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Pls keep the videos coming.

Lurgs comes to the rescue again. I sorted my rust issue on my Vespa gts, few months later I search e18 fault on Bosch, and Lurgs pops back fortuitously! You’ve now helped me fix blocked filter! Thanks

This guy saved us a £70 to £90 call out fee! top Man! a clear and concise way to solve the Bosch ERR 18 issue. Ours was a 20p in the filter. One thing i would add, is ours cut out mid cycle so we couldn't open the door so the water drainage was considerably more than in this video. about 3 litres! but I you a pint fella! thanks so much!

[tinajefferies]

Thanks Lurgs. I watched your other video (with the remarks about using your wife’s toothbrush to clean the filter) about draining the tube and cleaning the filter when my Bosch WM wouldn’t spin. I didn’t find anything except a few disgusting looking small grey slimy lumps but cleaned them off & washed the filter as per your instructions and replaced everything. Hey Presto! Machine spinning again. Marvellous. Thanks so much. From Tina - Bristol UK.

[zulfimohammedrizwan]

Thank u soooo much... my washing machine worked so well after cleaning of blockage ... and saved a lotttt of money

[minderDOTorg]

Just fixed mine here in Austria following this guide. It was a coin and a guitar plectrum. Mine stopped mid-cycle so a lot more water came out of the black pipe. Nevertheless, put a litre of water in after cleaning the filter, give a short spin and all good again. Thanks for the video.

[kumargopi]

saved me 800 rs service charge and if a bad engineer, he will say part spoiled and he will install a spare part and minimum bill 1000 . so i have saved almost 2000 rs with ur video. Thank you

[vanessak]

Thank you so much for this.  We followed every step and pulled lots of "treasures" out of the machine.  It's working perfectly again.

[BentS]

Thanks my friend. You saved our day. And the washing machine. Even I was able to clean that filter. Ah. And it was a penny. Well 3 of them and a bunch of other dirt. Now everything works again!

[subroutine]

Mate, your videos repeatedly save me when these mystery errors pop up on our inherited washing machines. Thanks so much!

[douglangley]
