What the 25 error code actually means

Error code 25 means your Electrolux cooktop has detected a problem with the main power button's sensor, so the cooktop cannot confirm whether the power key is working correctly. This is typically caused by a loose wire connection or a faulty electronic board that controls the touch buttons. Until the issue is resolved, the cooktop may not operate normally.

Questions people ask about 25

What does 25 mean on a Electrolux cooktop?
Error code 25 indicates that the main Power On/Off key sensor has been detected as defective by the cooktop's control system. The fault is associated with the right side Touch Control Board, which houses the sensor circuitry for the power key. The cooktop displays this code when it cannot get a valid signal from that sensor. Diagnosis starts with checking all cable connections and, if those are intact, replacing the Touch Control Board.
Will resetting the cooktop clear error code 25?
A power reset may temporarily clear the display, but error code 25 will return if the underlying sensor fault is still present. Because the code points to a hardware defect in the power key sensor or its board, a reset alone will not resolve the issue. The cables and connections must be inspected, and the Touch Control Board may need to be replaced before the error clears permanently.
How much does it cost to repair error code 25 on an Electrolux cooktop?
If the issue is simply a loose or disconnected cable, there may be no parts cost involved, though a service call fee would still apply if a technician performs the work. If the right side Touch Control Board needs replacement, parts typically range from around $80 to $200 or more depending on the specific model, plus labor costs if professionally serviced. Getting a diagnosis first helps avoid paying for parts that are not needed.
Can I fix error code 25 on my Electrolux cooktop myself?
If you are comfortable with basic appliance diagnostics, you can start by checking that all cable connections to the right side Touch Control Board are firmly seated and undamaged. If the connections are good and the error persists, the board itself will need to be replaced, which requires disassembling the cooktop. This repair is within reach of an experienced DIYer but does involve working with electronic components, so professional service is recommended if you are not confident with that process.
Is it safe to use my Electrolux cooktop when error code 25 is showing?
Error code 25 indicates a fault with the main power key sensor, which means the cooktop may not respond predictably to on/off commands. Using the cooktop while this fault is active is not recommended, as the control system may behave unexpectedly. It is best to stop using the cooktop and have it diagnosed and repaired before resuming normal use.
