Bosch Washing Machine E:36 -10 error code

Difficulty: Medium · Cost: $0–$80 · Duration: 20–30m

The E:36 -10 error means your Bosch washing machine cannot drain properly. This error is similar to E:30 -80 and involves the same range of drainage causes — a blocked or kinked hose, a hose installed too high, an unsuitable extension, a blocked pump, an incorrectly fitted pump cap, or excess suds. Work through each check systematically.
