# Bosch error code E:00  -23

### What this one means

There is water in the base of the machine, or it is leaking. It is a code the manufacturer publishes for this appliance, not one we have worked out — and it is decoded here rather than left as three characters on a display.

### What the code covers

A published cause names a circuit rather than a component, which is the single most useful thing to know before ordering a part. This one covers:

- Any leak that reaches the base pan

### Worth doing before you call

- Turn the water tap off, before anything else

### Then what

Like the dishwasher, this machine catches water in its base and stops rather than continuing. In a laundry closet above somebody else’s ceiling that is worth a great deal, and it is why the lockout should be left in place rather than cleared.

This code is published for washers. The [full list of codes](https://boschmiami.support/error-codes/) has the rest of them, searchable, including the labels older and newer machines use for the same conditions.
