Beko E25 fridge freezer: what it means & what to check

What E25 actually means

The fridge has lost a sensible reading from the temperature sensor that monitors its UVC hygiene lamp, so it has flagged a fault with that part of the system.

Some Beko fridge freezers carry a UVC lamp used to keep a compartment hygienic, and that lamp has its own temperature sensor watching how hot it runs. E25 means the control board is no longer getting a believable reading from that sensor, so it reports a fault rather than run the lamp unsupervised. Cooling itself is separate from this, so in most cases the fridge and freezer carry on holding temperature normally while the code sits on the display.

What E25 looks like on a Beko fridge freezer

Most people find this page having searched for what the machine is doing rather than the code itself. On a Beko fridge freezer, E25 usually shows up as one or more of these:

Not heating the water
Washing coming out cold
Cycle takes far longer than it should
Not cooling
Freezer not freezing
Ice building up at the back
Food going off in the fridge
Running constantly and never getting cold

Recognise any of those? That is this fault, and the rest of this page explains what causes it and what you can check yourself.

What usually causes it

A loose or partly unplugged connector at the UVC lamp sensor
The sensor itself having failed open or short circuit
Damage to the thin sensor wiring inside the cabinet
A fault on the control board reading the sensor
Moisture or condensation around the sensor connection

What you can safely check yourself

Work through these in order. Anything beyond this — panels off, testing parts, anything to do with the wiring — is an engineer's job, and not one to attempt with the machine plugged in.

Turn the appliance off at the wall for a minute, then back on — occasionally the code clears if it was a one-off read error
Check the fridge and freezer are still holding temperature, so you know whether food is at risk
Note down the exact code and your model number from the rating plate before booking a visit
