Frigidaire Dryer Error Code E25: Meaning and Fix

Reading the dryer display
On a dryer the code shows in the time-remaining window or as blinking status lights. Write down the characters before you press anything, because starting a new cycle usually clears the display. Frigidaire models show E, F or i codes depending on the appliance.
Frigidaire is an Electrolux brand and shares platforms with the Electrolux line. Washers and dryers use E codes, ranges use F codes, dishwashers use i codes, and refrigerators show SY codes. The codes apply to model numbers such as FGID2466QF, FFBD2412SW and FFRE4120SW; check the label on your unit to confirm yours.

Questions
What does the E25 code mean on a Frigidaire dryer?
The control sees a heat-sensor reading that cannot be real, such as extreme cold or heat, and stops heating.
Can I fix the E25 code myself?
Often yes. The most likely repair is the dryer thermistor, a part most owners can swap with basic hand tools after unplugging the appliance, and it is usually quicker than a service visit.
How do I clear the E25 code?
Unplug the dryer or switch off its breaker for five minutes, then restart a short timed-dry cycle. If E25 comes back, the underlying fault is still there; start with this: thermistor failing.
