I tried to wash an oversized cushion in my Bosch Vision 300/500 DLX series. After having a hard time closing the door, I selected a wash cycle and the door opened. I closed it again, preceded to select a wash cycle, an E started flashing on the screen. I tried opening the door but it is locked now. I have tried turning the washer off, unplugging, holding the start/pause button for over 5 seconds. Still the door is locked and the error code E flashes.

    It is only flashing E:
    No numbers beside it, with the door locked. Unable to select washing cycles or open door.

To manually open the door, pull the Door Release handle, at the bottom of the machine next to the Drain Catch. Here is a video with how to accomplish this:

If the error persists, you are going to need to replace your Door Latch Mechanism. To get to the Door Latch Mechanism, you will need to remove the Door Gasket. Here is a video of how to do this:

    Mine just did the same thing. Just an E, no numbers. There's no need to replace the door switch. I took off the front lower panel/cover. Unscrewed the drain cover and cleaned it out. Found some change and a bunch of sludge. Put it back together and NOTHING. Called Bosch and they had me reset the codes. Turn the selector switch to Cotton cold 4 times. Then wait 10 minutes. That cleared my codes and it works now.

Hi,

Is it flashing only E or there is a number besides it such as E 03 or E1?

Thanks and Regards

My Bosch vision 300/500 DLX series washing machine continually dispenses hot water no matter what cycle I have dialed in. What can I do?

if it's hot and cold fill machine , have you got the hoses connected correctly hot to hot supply , cold hose to cold mains supply
if its cold supply only to machine , make sure it's not connected to hot water supply, this could be worth checking.

Washer won't drain, E:13 code flashing

From user manual:

Indicator light "rinse" is lit and display is flashing "E:13" with no water remaining in the drum.
For some reason drain pump is blocked.
Clean the water drainage pipe and/or drain hose.

Front load washer Bosch Vision 300/500/DLX will not drain getting a code of E27 can you help. Can't find the code # in the booklet that came with it.

A code E27 means a problem with the door lock. Try unpluging the machine for an hour and see if it resets the lock.

If not remove the cover on the lower right corner you will see a white plastic pull cord. Pull the cord and pull open the door. If that doesn't reset the door lock you will need to replace the lock.
