What E25
actually means.
Some Indigo heads use a bin level probe to stop at a chosen ice level instead of waiting for the curtain. The probe has low, medium and high thermistors; if one of them reads outside its valid band for over ten minutes, the board logs E25, E26 or E27. A loose plug, a damaged probe or a wet connection are the usual reasons.

What to do when E25 shows on the ice machineKind of codeSensors and bin control
A sensor is telling the board something that is not true: a bin control that reads full on an empty bin, or empty while ice spills over the top, a curtain switch stuck open, a temperature sensor out of range, or an eye on a dispenser that no longer sees the cup. Scale and slime on a probe or an ultrasonic sensor cause much of it. Clearing ice piled against the bin control is a safe first step; testing and replacing a sensor is a technician's.

The thermostat bulb, paddle, curtain switch or electronic eye that senses a full bin, adjusted or replaced so the machine stops and restarts on time.

An ice machine error code may show as a number on a small display, a pattern of blinking lights on the control board, a colored light on the front, or a machine that stops with one indicator flashing.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Manitowoc's own guidance for E25 on its ice machines. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Check whether ice is piled on or frozen around the probe in the bin.
Make sure nobody has moved or knocked the probe while scooping.
If the entry keeps returning, book a visit to test the probe and its connection.

What not to do
E25 does not mean the curtain switch has failed; that is E12. It also does not stop the head by itself, because the curtain still ends each cycle when the bin is full.

A booking with a code goes further when it carries the light or code copied as it appeared, the model and serial off the data plate, and a word on whether cubes still fall into the bin. With those three in hand, our office can match the probable part to your machine the same afternoon.
