Bosch SHP65TL5UC 24 in 500 Series Bar Handle 44 dBA with AutoAir E25 Error Fix: Drain Pump Cover Not Properly Seated

Error code E25 on the Bosch SHP65TL5UC 24 in 500 Series Bar Handle 44 dBA with AutoAir means: Drain Pump Cover Not Properly Seated. The drain pump cover (filter housing) is not properly installed or has come loose. The cover creates a seal that allows the pump to generate suction. Remove the drain pump cover/filter assembly, clean the sealing surfaces, and reinstall it firmly. Make sure it is locked into position — on most Bosch models, the cover turns clockwise to lock. An improperly seated cover will cause poor draining and water remaining in the bottom of the tub after the cycle. Inspect the cover gasket for damage.
