Fisher & Paykel Washer Error Code 25

Error code 25 is a Phase 5 IW LCD Initialisation Error. It means the Intuitive Display module ran its startup self-check and the LCD failed to initialise correctly. The washer will not proceed past this point until the fault is resolved. The recommended fix is replacement of the IW Display Module.

Error 25 prevents the washer from completing its startup sequence, so the machine will not run a wash cycle while the fault is active. There is no immediate safety hazard, but the appliance is non-functional until the display module issue is corrected. Do not attempt to bypass the display fault to force the washer to operate.

The cost to fix error 25 depends on whether you use a technician or complete the repair yourself. A replacement IW Display Module typically falls in the range of $80 to $200 depending on the model and supplier. If a technician is used, labour costs will add to the total, bringing the overall repair estimate to roughly $150 to $350 or more depending on your location and service rates.

Resolving error 25 requires replacing the IW Display Module, which involves accessing and disconnecting the display assembly. A confident DIYer with basic appliance repair experience can complete this task, but it does require sourcing the correct replacement display module for the specific model. If you are not comfortable working with electronic assemblies, a qualified technician is recommended.

A power cycle reset is unlikely to permanently clear error 25 because the fault is caused by a hardware failure within the LCD display module. The error will return each time the display runs its initialisation sequence on startup. A reset may temporarily clear the code but the underlying component fault must be addressed for a lasting repair.
