What the E25 Error Means
The E25 error code indicates that a sensor within your Siemens tumble dryer has developed a fault. The appliance has detected an issue with one of its monitoring systems and has stopped the cycle as a precaution. This fault will need to be investigated by a qualified engineer.
Common Reasons This Error Appears
Faulty sensor
A sensor within the dryer may have failed or be producing incorrect readings, causing the machine to stop the cycle.
Dirty moisture sensor strips
The moisture sensor strips inside the drum can become coated with fabric softener residue over time, leading to inaccurate readings and triggering error codes.
Blocked lint filter or condenser
A heavily blocked lint filter or condenser can cause abnormal readings within the machine that may trigger a sensor error.
Wiring fault
Loose or damaged wiring connected to a sensor can interrupt the signal reaching the control board.
Electronic control board fault
In some cases the control board may have developed a fault affecting how it processes sensor data.
Safe Checks You Can Try
Clean the moisture sensor strips
The moisture sensor strips are usually located inside the drum near the door opening. Wipe them gently with a soft cloth dampened with a small amount of white vinegar to remove any fabric softener residue, then wipe dry.
Clean the lint filter and condenser
Remove and clean the lint filter under running water. On condenser and heat pump models, also remove and rinse the condenser unit. Ensure both are fully dry before refitting.
Restart the tumble dryer
Turn the appliance off at the mains and leave it for several minutes before restarting. This can clear a temporary fault.
