An E18 error can also be caused by a blocked or kinked drain hose.
First, look to see if the drain hose is bent or kinked, which may be blocking the water flow. If that is the case, simply straightening the hose may fix the problem.
If the hose looks uncompromising, then disconnect it from the drain, unscrewing a clamp if necessary.
Follow the instructions in the video to check the drain hose.
After carrying out one or all of these actions, your washing machine should once again be correctly pumping and draining the water. If your washing machine is still not pumping out the water, it could be due to a defective pump or other reasons. If this is the case, the washing machines needs a repair by a Siemens service expert.
If you have followed the information above but you're still having problems with your Siemens washing machine, then you might want to have it checked out by a Siemens professional.
Check that there are no kinks in the cold water fill hose and the waste water hose by pulling the appliance out slightly and untwisting any visable kinks or bends in these hoses. Kinked or blocked hoses will prevent washing machines to drain the water out. For more information on how to correctly install these two hoses follow the link below.
Also ensure that the waste water hose is not blocked by removing this hose from the siphon connection, putting the end of the hose in a bucket and selecting the drain program. Otherwise the washing machine won't pump out the water. If there is a blockage, water will not fill, or struggle to fill, the bucket. If a blockage is found, clean the waste water hose and siphon.
Clean the filter and remove any foreign objects which could be blocking the impeller. A blocked pump might be the reason why the washing machine is not draining. For more information on how to clean your washing machine filter follow the link.
