Bosch Washing Machine Grinding After Drum Stops

To confirm the symptom, observe the machine immediately after the drum has ceased rotation. If the grinding or growling sound persists while the machine is attempting to drain or during a pause, the noise is occurring independently of the drum's physical movement. Check the digital display for error codes such as E18 or E03, which indicate a failure to complete a drain cycle within the programmed timeframe, further isolating the issue to the drainage system.
