Bosch washing machine gives error code F25, what does this mean?
If your machine shows fault code F25 on the display, it means that there is a problem with the turbidity sensor. At the same time, the machine starts the washing process, but cannot finish it or stops in the middle of the program and does not respond to commands.
Why the machine shows error F25
How to fix the situation and fix the error code yourself:
- Clean the drainage system from clogging. To do this, remove the drain filter at the bottom of the Bosch washing machine and clean it of debris. Also check the drain hose. It can be washed under pressure from tap water.
- Check turbidity sensor (Aqua Sensor). As a result of scale, it ceases to function normally, so do not forget to carry out prophylaxis with descaling agents.
- The sensor can work if dirty water gets into the drain. To fix the problem, set the washing mode to 60 or 90 degrees and start the Bosch washing machine for washing.

Checking and replacing parts
The likely causes of the problem are:
Water level sensor (pressure switch)
It is necessary to eliminate the malfunction of the level sensor, which means - it is necessary to check it. To do this, unscrew the top cover of the machine and find a pressure switch near the wall. Check its wires and connections, and then the device itself.
Disconnect a hose of a pressostat and establish a small tube in its place. After blowing into the handset, you should hear clicks. This means that the sensor is in good condition. If there is silence in response to your actions, you need to replace the sensor.
Drain pump
To verify that the drain pump is malfunctioning, remove its filter and look into the hole. By shining a flashlight, you will see the impeller of the pump. All that is needed is to make sure the impeller is spinning during operation. If yes, then the pump is working. If not, you need to get to the pump and find out the cause of the problem.
The last thing you can check the turbidity sensor, because the device breaks very rarely. If there is a malfunction, install a new element.
After the repair, start and check the Bosch washer. If the washing is normal, the error code F25 is not displayed, which means that your efforts were not in vain.
