What E25
actually means.
Between cycles a True head purges part of the sump water to carry away minerals. E25 means the water did not leave fast enough, and True's checks are the drain valve coil, a clogged or unvented drain and a blocked sump drain.

What to do when E25 shows on the ice machineKind of codeDrain and pump
Water that should have left the machine is still inside it. A gravity drain clogged with slime or scale, a line run too flat to keep up during a harvest, a drain pump whose float sticks or whose motor has stopped, or an air gap blocked at the floor sink all back water into the bin or across the floor. Checking that the drain outlet in view runs clear is a fair first step; the pump and the line inside the cabinet are a visit.

Gravity drains, air gaps, drain pumps and their lines, cleared or replaced when meltwater backs up into the bin or reaches the floor.

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.

True ice machine visits begin with the installation: the supply, the drain fall and the clearance the machine needs to cool.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from True Residential's own guidance for E25 on its ice machines. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Check the drain line from the head for kinks, and the floor drain or air gap for backup.
Make sure the drain line is vented as installed.
Book a visit if the drain is clear; the drain valve coil needs a voltage check.

What not to do
E25 is about water leaving the sump, not about the bin drain, which is a separate line. It is also not a fill problem; slow filling is E24 or E29.

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.
