What E25
actually means.
E25 on a Thermador is a blocked-drain code. Thermador's checks run from the pump cover under the filters out to the hose and the air gap.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Thermador's own guidance for E25 on its dishwashers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Turn the dishwasher off before reaching into the sump.
Lift out the drain pump cover, remove whatever is jamming it, and push it back until it locks.
Straighten the drain hose if it is pinched behind the cabinet.
If the code survives those checks, book a visit.
What not to do
E25 does not by itself condemn the drain pump; a loose cover or debris in the pump is enough to set it off.
