How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance and ensure the area around the pump is dry before inspection.

  • 1. Inspect pump wiring
    • Access the pump compartment and locate the Bosch pump connector and wiring harness.
    • Look for crushed, pinched, or melted insulation.
    • Repair or replace damaged wiring and ensure connectors are fully seated.
  • 2. Check for water ingress
    • Inspect the pump connector and nearby PCB for signs of moisture or corrosion.
    • Dry thoroughly and clean corrosion with contact cleaner if minor.
  • 3. Test pump coil
    • Disconnect the pump and measure resistance across its terminals.
    • A very low resistance (near 0 Ω) or visible burn marks indicate a shorted pump; replace the pump.
  • 4. Inspect control PCB
    • If a new or known-good pump still triggers E09, the pump driver circuit or relay on the PCB may be damaged.
    • Due to mains voltage and complexity, PCB repair or replacement should be done by a qualified technician.
