How Bosch Washers Are Built
Models with i-DOS have a separate dosing pump that can clog and trigger its own error code, and Bosch lists cleaning that pump unit as the fix. Source: Bosch - Washer Error Codes
The drain pump sits behind a service flap: water is drained off through a small hose first, then the pump cover is unscrewed and the pump impeller is checked to make sure it turns freely. Source: Bosch - Why Won't My Bosch Washing Machine Drain? How to Resolve
