Another problem mentioned on the canon camera error message site blames a sticky iris in the lens, caused by grease entering inside from the microphones built into the lens. The buildup freezes up the ability of the lens to open. Although the use of the E18 error coding made this problem seem to be the particular domain of Canon cameras, the problem is actually quite common throughout all cameras with telescopic lens barrels. As a result, Canon has since

dropped the use of this error code in its newer cameras. In its place it has adopted the more common term "lens error" that other manufacturers use. As such, its newer cameras report this term when the problem occurs. Contents 1 Causes 2 Repairing the E18 error 3 Consumer response and class action 4 References 5 External links Causes[edit] According to Canon, one may get an E18 due to any of the following: Camera activating and lens opening while in a confined space or being blocked Extracted lens getting jarred Low battery condition as the unit is turned on or off Dropping of the camera Foreign substances, such as dust, sand or dirt entering into the camera body. General jarring of the camera "General camera malfunction" One major contributor to E18 lens errors is the improper use of camera cases, or the carrying of cameras in pockets.

on a Bosch washing machine indicates a draining time out. This could happen for a couple of reasons: 1) blockage inside the filter 2) blockage inside the draining hose 3) problem with the pump The methods listed below https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E18_error have helped many people to get their Bosch washing machines functioning again. 1) Blockage inside the filter The first thing to check is the filter. The filter is usually placed on the lower front part of your Bosch washing machine. To access the filter, you need to remove the access panel first. Photo 1: filter access panel Before you take the filter out, you need to release the remaining water from the machine. After removing the http://www.e18error.com/bosche18.html access panel, you will see a small draining hose. Photo 2: draining hose The hose is used to empty the machine before opening the filter. Take a shallow dish and place it in front of the machine, below the hose. Open the draining hose to release water. Photo 3: water release If you don't have a draining hose, you can unscrew the round screw cap (the filter), and the water will come out. Photo 4: round screw cap (the filter) You should unscrew the cap counter-clockwise. If you are releasing water through the cap, instead of the hose, make sure to unscrew the cap slowly, so you can control the amount of water coming out. If you cannot open the cap (the filter), something is probably blocking it, or it has been a while since you last cleaned it, so it's stuck due to dirt, threads and washing powder build up. You can try tipping the washing machine forward or backward. In some cases this can shift the blockage enough for you to unscrew the filter. Unscrew the filter carefully, in order to avoid damaging it. If you haven't cleaned the filter for a long time, it might be stuck due to all the hair, fluff, washing powder, etc collecting on it. If you are sure the filter is not blocked, try using a cotton rag o
Thanks again Posted September 13, 2016 9:37 amhappy camper#8 worked great on our Power Shot A610, but it took multible hard knocks on my palm to get it working again. Thanks Posted August 30, 2016 http://www.e18error.com/posts/ 4:56 pmRobertI have a Canon Powershot S110. It briefly took a swim in my pocket when I fell into a jungle river in Malaysia and of course refused to work. I removed the battery and memory card and dried it off in the sun and watched with horror as beads of moisture came out of the USB sockets. It thought it was damaged beyond repair. When I was back in civilisation I recharged the battery but error message still no luck and then spontaneously the lens barrel shot open when I wasn't expecting it to do so and I had my hand in the way. It briefly registered a lens error message and then went blank again with the lens barrel extended. Recharging the battery made no difference so my first thought was that the battery was damaged so when I got back to the UK I ordered and installed a new battery. I canon error message got the dreaded lens error message saying that the camera would shut down which it didn't. I tried the various low level fixes and eventually gently compressed the barrel to try and even out the extension. Bingo it suddenly started behaving although it was still convinced that the memory card was faulty even when I gave it a new one until I took out the battery and the memory card and put them both back in and now it seems to be absolutely fine. I guess I may have shortened the camera's lifespan both from the original bath and fiddling around with the barrel but at 2 years old it was too old for the guarantee and too new to get rid of. EmailPosted July 26, 2016 5:33 pmGrahamI bought 2 broken Powershot G10 from ebay one E18 the other E16. Firstly I will say get the right screwdriver a Wiha philips #00. Secondly if you have an odd fault like E16 buy the service manual it only costs $4 online download. The E18 fault had the lens stuck. I stripped down the camera and then the lens. I am still struggling to get the lens together even with photos lines drawn across the parts etc. Not easy at all but it beats the rubiks cube for entertainment value.
