25 is an LCD start-up error that only Phase 5 IW washers use. The manual's one action is a replacement IW Display Module.
Model compatibility: Fisher & Paykel 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
Phase 5 IW: the Intuitive Display detected a problem with the LCD during initialisation.
The manual marks 25 as a Phase 5 IW code, named LCD Initialisation Error. Any washer that lacks the IW and its Intuitive Display is outside this entry.
Reading the terms
The LCD is the liquid crystal display screen.
Initialisation is the start-up routine that turns the screen on and sets it up.
During that routine the Intuitive Display ran into trouble with the LCD.
The source gives no more than that.

Owner notes
The trouble is described as display-side and no reset is offered. Because the screen itself is involved, record what it displays: nothing, a partial picture, or only the code.
Other display module codes
Code 46 is a problem the Intuitive Display found in its internal EEPROM.
Code 45 is a display memory check fault at power-up, on Phase 5.
Code 231 is a component failure on the display board.
Phase 5 display entries such as 45 deal with memory checks when power comes on, whereas 25 deals with the screen. Here the named part is the IW Display Module, and for 45 it is the plain Display Module.
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.
