Fisher & Paykel Dishwasher Error Code F25

F25 indicates a motor loss of phase fault, meaning the wash motor is not receiving all of the electrical phase signals it needs to operate. The dishwasher shuts down to protect the motor and drive electronics from damage. The first diagnostic step is to verify that the motor rotor is correctly installed and properly seated.

No. The F25 fault causes the dishwasher to halt its cycle as a protective measure, and the appliance should not be forced to run while this fault is active. Attempting to bypass the error and run the motor in a loss-of-phase condition can cause additional damage to the motor windings or control board.

Repair costs depend on what is causing the fault. If the fix is simply reseating the motor rotor or reconnecting a loose harness, labor costs alone may apply, typically in the range of $80 to $150. If the motor or control board needs replacement, total costs including parts and labor can range from $200 to $450 or more depending on your location and the specific components required.

Some causes, such as a displaced motor rotor or a loose wiring connector, can be addressed by a confident DIYer comfortable working with appliance components. However, diagnosing failed motor windings or a faulty control board requires electrical testing with a multimeter and familiarity with appliance electronics. If you are not comfortable with these steps, a qualified technician is recommended.

A power reset may temporarily clear the displayed code, but the F25 fault will return if the underlying cause has not been corrected. The motor phase loss condition must be physically resolved, whether that means reseating the rotor, repairing wiring, or replacing a faulty component, before the error will stay cleared.
