Filter blocked

Remove bottom rack and twist-unlock the cylindrical filter assembly
Separate coarse filter, fine mesh, and micro-filter — clean all three
Rinse under running water with soft brush — do not use abrasive pads
Inspect filter housing for cracks that could allow debris bypass
Pro Diagnostic Tip
Bosch uses a triple-filter system. The micro-filter membrane is the most commonly missed piece during cleaning. Food particles clogging the micro-filter cause poor wash performance long before E22 triggers.
