What the E25 Error Means
The E25 error code indicates a drainage problem. Like the E24 code, it points to a fault with the drain system — the machine has been unable to remove water from the tub within the expected time. The drain pump may be blocked, the drain hose restricted or the household drain obstructed.
Common Reasons This Error Appears
Blocked drain pump
Food debris, broken glass, labels or other foreign objects can enter the drain pump and jam the impeller, preventing it from expelling water.
Blocked or kinked drain hose
A bent, kinked or obstructed drain hose will prevent water from leaving the machine even if the pump is working correctly.
Blocked filters
A heavily soiled filter assembly restricts water flow to the drain pump, slowing or stopping drainage.
Blocked household drain
A blockage in the sink trap or the household drain that the dishwasher connects to can prevent water from draining away from the machine.
Faulty drain pump
The drain pump motor may have failed and is no longer able to remove water from the tub.
Safe Checks You Can Try
Clean the filters
Remove and thoroughly clean the filter assembly at the bottom of the tub to ensure water can flow freely to the drain pump.
Check the drain hose
Inspect the drain hose at the back of the machine for any kinks or blockages. Ensure it is correctly installed and not inserted too far into the standpipe.
Check the household drain
Pour water down the sink to confirm the drain the dishwasher connects to is flowing freely and is not blocked.
Restart the dishwasher
Turn the appliance off at the mains for a few minutes before restarting to clear any temporary fault.
