Bosch Washer Er:25 When the Door Lock Coil Overheats

What Er:25 means

Er:25 on a Vision washer is the machine looking after itself. The coil that operates the door lock got too hot because the lock was engaged and released again and again, so the control refuses more attempts. Bosch's fix is just to wait, anywhere from three to thirty minutes depending on how hot the coil is, after which the lock works again.

Common causes of Er:25

Lock coil heated up by repeated locking and unlocking
A latch or door problem that kept forcing retries
Repeated stops and restarts in quick succession

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Take your hands off the machine and leave it alone for thirty minutes. 2. Do not press Start or open and close the door during that time. 3. Afterward check the door seal and latch for anything that keeps the door from closing cleanly. 4. Start a normal cycle once.

! Why to stop there

Constant door cycling is what heated the coil to begin with.
Forcing the lock while it is blocked can crack the housing.
If the code keeps returning after cooling, a latch problem is likely and needs a real diagnosis.

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

Er:25Er:25 questions

Do I need to call someone for Er:25?

Not at first. Bosch's remedy is to wait. If it returns after the machine has cooled, something is making the lock work too hard, and a technician should look.

What made the coil overheat?

Repeated attempts to lock or unlock. This usually happens after a door-switch problem or when someone keeps restarting a cycle that will not begin. A worn latch is a common starting point.

Can I power cycle it to hurry things along?

It will not hurt, but the control may keep the block until the coil cools. Patience is the more reliable fix. Switching the breaker off adds no benefit while the coil is hot.
