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.

01

Turn the dishwasher off before reaching into the sump.

02

Lift out the drain pump cover, remove whatever is jamming it, and push it back until it locks.

03

Straighten the drain hose if it is pinched behind the cabinet.

04

If the code survives those checks, book a visit.

Still there?

It usually turns into drain and pump repair. Book with the code and the model number.

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.

Questions
about E25.

Can I clear E25 myself?
Turn the dishwasher off before reaching into the sump. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
Does E25 mean my Thermador drain pump has failed?
Not necessarily; a pump cover that has worked loose, or debris caught in the pump, can trigger E25 on its own. Remove what is jamming it and press the cover back until it clicks.
What should I check behind the cabinet for E25 on my Thermador?
Look for a drain hose pinched behind the dishwasher and straighten it. If E25 survives those checks, book a visit.

Still showing E25?

Book with the characters exactly as shown, the full model number, and whether any water is on the floor — for a code, that is where the diagnosis begins.
