What Er:25 Means
Er:25 on a Bosch Vision front-load washer is the overheated door lock. Bosch's cause is specific: the door lock coil has become too hot from locking and unlocking repeatedly, and the control has blocked further attempts. The remedy given is simply to wait, three minutes or thirty depending on how hot the coil has become, after which the lock recovers.
Common Causes of Er:25
- Door lock coil overheated from repeated lock and unlock attempts
- Underlying door or latch fault causing the repeated attempts
- Cycle interrupted and restarted many times in quick succession
🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try
Leave the machine alone for half an hour without pressing anything. Bosch's own remedy for this code is to wait, and repeatedly trying the door is what overheated the coil in the first place.
⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That
- The documented remedy is to wait, so anything more energetic is solving a problem that resolves itself.
- A lock that has been cycling repeatedly usually indicates a latch or door fault behind the overheating, which is the thing worth finding.
- Forcing the door while the lock is blocked damages the latch and the front panel it is mounted in.
- Taking the front panel off to reach a lock that is simply hot achieves nothing except an exposed machine.
Opening a panel to inspect or repair something yourself doesn't automatically cancel your manufacturer's warranty — but it can risk accidental damage, and some manufacturers do have specific service conditions. Check your product's warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.
