What does Baxter E25 mean?

E25 is a red rack lift motor error. The up switch was not detected and the motor timed out. The rack lift raises the rack carrier; when the control does not see the up-position switch confirm within the expected time, it times out the motor and reports the fault. As a red error it blocks heating and bake/cook cycles until resolved and cannot be dismissed.

Symptoms

  • Red E25 "Rack Lift Motor Error" on the display
  • Rack does not lift to the up position

  • Error cannot be cleared until fixed

Common causes

  • Up-position switch not detected
  • Rack lift motor timed out before reaching position
  • Faulty or misadjusted up limit switch
  • Obstruction or mechanical binding in the lift
