| Code | Brand | What it means | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| E18 | Bosch | Means a drainage failure, where the machine cannot empty water within the allowed timeframe. It is usually caused by a blocked drain pump filter or a kinked hose. | High |
| E2 | Bosch | Means a drainage failure that stops the machine mid-cycle because water is not emptying within the required time. It is usually caused by a blocked pump filter, a kinked drain hose, or a failed drain pump. | High |
| E20 | Bosch | Means a drainage problem where the machine cannot empty water and stops the cycle to prevent flooding. It is usually caused by a blocked filter, an obstructed pump, or a kinked drain hose. | High |
| E28 | Bosch | Means a flow sensor fault, where the water is not draining properly or the sensor cannot detect water flow correctly. It is usually caused by a malfunctioning turbidity sensor (dirty water sensor) or a drainage blockage. | Medium |

| E3 | Smeg | Means the machine cannot empty its water within the allotted time, a drainage failure. It is usually caused by a blocked drain filter, a kinked hose, a faulty drain pump, or on some models a heater relay fault. | High |
| E5 | Smeg | Means the machine cannot empty its water within the required time, a drainage fault, though on some models it points to a water fill issue. It is usually caused by a blocked pump filter, a kinked drain hose, or a faulty drain pump. | High |

General fitting guidance. The exact steps can vary slightly with the make and model of your washing machine.
Safety: Switch off and unplug at the mains before you start.
The drain pump fluff filter captures and collects lint, small fibres, and other debris that may be present in the laundry water. The water drains out of the machine during the wash cycle and passes through the drain pump fluff filter.
The filter's mesh or screen design allows water to flow through while trapping and retaining any lint or debris.
The accumulation of lint and debris clog the filter over time. If the filter is not regularly cleaned or maintained, it becomes obstructed and leads to poor water drainage and washing machine performance.
The filter itself becomes damaged or worn out and results in gaps or tears in the mesh. This can allow larger debris to bypass the filter and cause blockages further downstream in the drain system.
This drain pump filter by Bosch is a genuine washing machine replacement part. It also suits Balay, Constructa, Gaggenau, Koenic, Lynx, Neff, Pitsos, Profilo, and Siemens washing machines. Use our compatibility checker to see if this part fits your model.
Although there were a few sites listing this product, ransom was the only one with a comprehensive machine compatibility checker. The process checking and order process was quick and easy, the part good quality and fitted out of the box. Delivery was very quick. I have now created an account and will use them again.
Not cheap for what it is, but the item fits perfectly and the quality of the item is sturdy. This is the 2nd item we’ve had from Ransom spares and delivery has been great. Will use Ransom again.
This original broke as it had a piece of metal wedged in it so snapped - so delighted to find a replacement part - had to hund around for best price which was Ransom Spares so thanks - quick delivery in fact mnuch much quicker than a Bosch Engineer waiting 2 weeks now for a part I could order here and get tomorrow!!!
Easy to find on the website, and delivered promptly - my client was without a washing machine until it came, so prompt delivery is essential for such spares.
