# Bosch error code E:30 / -10

### What this one means

Water is not reaching the machine. 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.

### The other ways your machine may say it

The same condition is published under more than one label, because it has been carried across generations of this appliance:

- **A faucet icon is shown** — how a model with no digital display says it. On that machine, the lights are the code

### 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:

- A closed tap
- Blocked inlet filters
- A kinked or jammed inlet hose
- Low pressure
- The level measurement system

### What to try yourself

- Check the tap is fully open
- Clean the filters in the water inlet
- Straighten the inlet hose
- Wait five minutes and try once more before concluding anything

### Then what

Five published causes under one code, four of them free to check. This is the clearest example on the appliance of a code that names a circuit rather than a component.

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.
