What the E25 Error Means
The E25 error code indicates a drain fault on your Siemens dishwasher. The appliance is not able to drain waste water correctly. In many cases this can be caused by a blockage that can be cleared without professional assistance.
Common Reasons This Error Appears
Blocked drain hose
The drain hose may be partially or fully blocked with debris, preventing waste water from flowing out of the appliance.
Kinked drain hose
The drain hose may be kinked or bent behind the machine, restricting the flow of waste water.
Blocked household drain
The sink drain or household drainage connection that the dishwasher empties into may itself be blocked or slow to drain.
Blocked filter
A heavily blocked filter at the base of the dishwasher can restrict water flow to the drain pump, contributing to drainage problems.
Faulty drain pump
The drain pump may have failed or become blocked with a foreign object such as broken glass or food debris.
Safe Checks You Can Try
Clean the filter system
Remove and clean the dishwasher filters thoroughly under running water. Check the sump area for any debris or foreign objects that may be restricting drainage.
Check the drain hose
Inspect the drain hose at the back of the machine for any kinks or bends. Ensure it is correctly routed and not obstructed.
Check the household drain
Run water in the sink that the dishwasher drains into to ensure it is flowing freely. A slow or blocked sink drain can prevent the dishwasher from emptying correctly.
Restart the dishwasher
Switch the appliance off, wait a few minutes, then switch it back on and start a new cycle.
