F25 is a power supply problem at the cooktop. One breaker reset is the only owner step; a repeat is for an electrician.
Model compatibility: KitchenAid reuses codes across series and model years, so F25 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
KitchenAid says F25 is a problem with the power supply to the cooktop.
What stands out about F25 is that KitchenAid is specific about who takes over if it recurs: a qualified electrician. In the article the code stands for a fault in the supply of power to the cooktop.
A single reset
Find the breaker (or breakers) for the cooktop and shut it off, leaving it so for a full minute.
Restore it.
Give the cooktop a minute of observation to see if F25 shows again.
Make sure the cooktop operates.
When F25 comes back
The article’s final sentence says to call in a qualified electrician should it happen again, and it lists no further owner checks. Work on supply wiring and breakers is not for amateurs, so stop after the reset. Leave the junction area closed and do not exchange breakers.
Why an electrician
The supply, not the cooktop’s own components, is what KitchenAid points to. Whether the fault is inside the home’s circuit or at the cooktop’s connection is not stated.
Whom should I call?
For a recurring F25 the article points to an electrician. When talking to one, repeat the wording from the article, tell them the code, and say the breaker reset has already been done.
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.
