Lauren,
Bosch Washer Error Code E23 = Aquastop activated
The fault connected with “Error code E23 Aquastop activated” can’t be rectified by itself according to Bosch.
You can research the “Aquastop activated” and see what is needed to clear the error.

I have a Bosch Series 6 Varioperfect washing machine (brand new a year ago) which flashes error code E:23 and beeps on every setting and has locked with my clothes inside and does not start. Any advice?
Bosch Error E81 folowed by E00.
My 2yo Bosch washing machine flashed this error and no one at the bosch helpline could tell me what it was. BOSCH tech called back after following up (he didnt know either), E81 error indicates I-Dose Sensor error.
He is ordering sensors prior to coming out.
Hope this helps anyone who is also searching this error (very frustrating)
I have problem with my washing machine waw32640eu.
When I start program I get 2 error codes E81 and E00.
After that the machine works fine..
What does it mean?
Mike and Sara,
If your Bosch washer has a front debris drain pump filter, clean it out. If not the pump may be clogged or jammed by a foreign object. Also check the drain hose to be sure it is not crimped or bent and therefore not letting the washer drain. What is the model number of your Bosch washer?

I have a Bosch front loader that occasionally shows a error code F18. Yes it understand that this could be a pump problem, can you advise if this could be a filter that allows drainage that is slowing the draining and if i can find a filter and clean it prior to getting a service person out?

Does anyone know what error code E:00 is on my Bosch maxx 6 washing machine? Can’t seem to find what this error relates to… Just switched it on and the error code on. It’s not mid cycle and the door is opening… I have cleaned out the drain. Any ideas?
Kiavoush,
Are you sure the error code is E33 on your Bosch washer? Is it possibly E3? What is the model number of your Bosch washer?
