What the 25 error code actually means

Your Whirlpool washer detected that water filled normally but then seemed to disappear without the machine actually draining it, which is not supposed to happen. This usually means the water supply was interrupted during the fill cycle. Start by checking that the hot and cold water valves behind the washer are fully open.

Questions people ask about 25

What does 25 mean on a Whirlpool washer?
Error code 25 signals a Pressure Sensor Dropout. The washer detected that water pressure rose above 6 inches during filling but then dropped below 1 inch for 5 seconds without a drain cycle taking place. The control board flags this as an abnormal condition and stops the cycle. It most commonly points to an interrupted water supply rather than a failed sensor.
Is it safe to keep using my washer when error code 25 appears?
You should not continue running the washer until the cause is identified. An interrupted water supply or a faulty pressure sensor can lead to incomplete cycles, potential overflows, or mechanical stress on the pump. Address the underlying cause before resuming normal use.
Will resetting my Whirlpool washer clear error code 25?
A reset may clear the code temporarily, but the error will return if the underlying problem is not resolved. To reset, unplug the washer for one to two minutes, then restore power. If the code comes back on the next fill cycle, proceed with diagnostics on the water supply, inlet hoses, and pressure sensor hose before assuming a part failure.
How do I fix error code 25 on my Whirlpool washer?
Start by confirming that both the hot and cold water supply valves behind the washer are fully open. Next, check the inlet hoses for kinks and inspect the filter screens at the hose connections for debris. If the supply is confirmed good, inspect the pressure sensor hose for cracks or loose connections. If those checks pass, the pressure sensor itself may need to be replaced.
How much does it cost to repair a Whirlpool washer showing error code 25?
If the fix is simply opening a supply valve or clearing a kinked hose, there is no parts cost. Replacing a pressure sensor typically costs between $20 and $60 for the part, plus labor if a technician is hired. A service call with labor can add $75 to $150 or more depending on your location and the technician's rates.
