What it means
According to Balay, E25 means the drain pump is blocked (clean it following the manual) or the pump cover is loose (lock it in place). Typically a small object, such as a fruit stone or a piece of glass, stops the pump. If the code returns after cleaning it and locking the cover, the pump needs technical inspection: the code does not prove it has failed.
