Electrolux Dryer Error Code E25

E25 on an Electrolux dryer indicates an open circuit in the control thermistor, also known as the Control NTC sensor. This means the electronic control board is not receiving a resistance signal from the temperature sensor. The fault can be caused by a failed thermistor, a break in the wiring, or in some cases a faulty control board.

Running the dryer while E25 is active is not recommended. The control thermistor is part of the temperature regulation system, and operating without accurate temperature feedback could lead to overheating or unpredictable dryer behavior. The fault should be resolved before resuming normal use.

Repair costs depend on which component has failed. A replacement control thermistor is typically a lower-cost part, often in the range of $15 to $50. If the electronic control board requires replacement, parts alone can range from $100 to $250 or more. Adding professional labor will increase total costs depending on your location and service provider.

A knowledgeable DIYer can diagnose E25 using a multimeter to test thermistor resistance. Disconnect the thermistor wires and measure the resistance directly. If the reading is not within 10% of 50K ohms, the thermistor needs replacement. If the thermistor tests good, inspect the wiring harness and connectors for damage or loose connections before considering a control board replacement.

A power reset may temporarily clear the E25 display, but the error will return if the underlying cause has not been corrected. Because E25 reflects a real hardware fault in the thermistor circuit, the sensor or wiring issue must be diagnosed and repaired to permanently resolve the code.
