GE Dryer Error Code 25

Error code 25 on a GE dryer means the control board has detected a Pressure Sensor Dropout. The board is no longer receiving a valid signal from the pressure sensor, which can happen because the pressure tube is pinched, blocked by water, disconnected, or because the sensor itself has failed. A leaking water valve can also contribute to this fault by introducing moisture into the pressure tube.

It is best to address the fault before continuing regular use. The error indicates the dryer cannot properly monitor pressure conditions, which means it may not operate as intended. If a leaking water valve is involved, continuing to run the dryer could allow water to accumulate in areas where it can cause additional damage.

A reset may temporarily clear the code from the display, but if the underlying cause is not corrected, the fault will return. The pressure sensor dropout will be detected again as soon as the dryer runs and the control board checks the sensor signal. Fixing the pinched tube, trapped water, disconnected hose, or faulty component is necessary for a lasting repair.

In many cases, yes. Start by inspecting the pressure tube where it passes through the top cover grommet and look for any pinching or kinking. Disconnect the tube and check for trapped water, then clear it out and reconnect both ends securely. If the tube is fine, check the water valves for any signs of leaking. These steps require no special tools and can often resolve the fault without parts.

If the fix is simply clearing or repositioning the pressure tube, there is no parts cost. A replacement water valve typically runs in the range of $20 to $60 depending on the model. A new pressure sensor usually costs between $15 and $50. If you hire a technician, expect to add $75 to $150 or more in labor costs on top of any parts.
