# Bosch error code E:30 / -80

### What this one means

Water cannot get out through the drain hose or the standpipe. 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:

- **E:30 / -80, E:36 -10** — the same condition, on machines of different ages

### 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 kinked or blocked outlet hose
- A hose pushed too far down the standpipe
- An unsuitable extension on the outlet

### What to try yourself

- Straighten the outlet hose behind the machine — easy to kink on a stacked pair
- Check the hose is no higher than the manufacturer allows
- Check how far it goes into the standpipe

### Then what

This is the code that most often turns out to be installation rather than appliance, and on a stacked pair in a closet it is the first thing worth looking at.

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.
