Jenn-Air Dishwasher Error Code E:25

E:25 means the dishwasher cannot drain water from the sump. The control system detected that water was not evacuated properly, so the programme stopped and the machine began intermittently cycling the drain pump. The cause is typically a blocked pump, kinked drain hose, or a missing drain pump cover.

You should not continue running the dishwasher with an active E:25 code. The machine has stopped the cycle because water cannot drain, and forcing additional cycles risks water sitting stagnant in the sump or potentially overflowing. Resolve the drain issue before running the appliance again.

If the fix is simply clearing a blockage or reseating the pump cover, the repair can cost nothing beyond your time. If the drain hose needs replacement, expect to pay in the range of $15 to $50 for the part. A drain pump replacement, including parts and professional labor, typically runs between $150 and $350 depending on your location and service provider.

Start by checking the drain hose for kinks or blockages along its full length and confirm it is routed at the correct height. Next, remove the filter and lower spray arm to inspect the pump sump for foreign objects. Also verify that the drain pump cover is present and properly seated over the sump. If all of those checks pass and the error remains, the drain pump itself may need to be replaced.

A reset may clear the code temporarily, but the error will return if the underlying drain problem has not been fixed. The dishwasher will attempt to drain at the start of the next cycle, and if the blockage or fault is still present, E:25 will trigger again. Always address the root cause before attempting a reset.
