Detail
Fault
Ice tray sensor
Unit
DCS ActiveSmart indoor integrated refrigerator, RS/RF series
How it appears
Counted alarm beeps or a binary flash pattern on the LEDs
What it needs
A service technician
Why there is no message on screen
Nothing is spelled out in words. Whoever stands at the fridge hears a number of beeps, or watches the LEDs blink in a binary sequence, and that signal is translated to 25.
What you can do
Silence the noise with the alarm mute button, which is available on ActiveSmart models.
Arrange for a service technician to deal with the sensor.
Nearby codes
Code 24 describes the very same ice tray sensor trouble.
Owners in San Francisco and around the Bay Area can reach a DCS technician on (415) 969-2271, or look over DCS refrigerator repair first. Have the code 25 note, your model number and the mute step you already took on hand.
Model compatibility: DCS reuses codes across series and model years, so 25 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
The ice tray sensor has a problem; the refrigerator signals it with alarm beeps or binary LED flashing.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
