The "F25" error code means the control board senses the inlet thermistor shorted. The inlet thermistor is a part of the hi-limit thermostat which is located on the heating element box. - The hi-limit thermostat kit Part number: AP3094323

Gene in previous post gave very good diagnosis.
For others future reference. The actual problem was that the lint got caught up in the fan cage by coating the fins on the fan hence making it mor and more difficult to move the air. thus making dryer real hot and blowing the finger fuse. I had replaced every sensor and limit switch in the dryer for about $35 (still cheeper than calling service man) But, the problem was not with any of the switches or limits It is becuse the newer cheepe made machines do not have the power the old ones had to blow the air out. I had a 35 foot vent run wich now that this machine is 1 year old is borderline moving the air out even with a clean vent tube. I purchased a dryer booster to help the dryer push the air out on my so called long 35 foot run. It might be overkill by adding the booster fan but it prevent the dryer from overheating blowing fuses and runing clothes sice dryer gets real real hot inside with restricted air flow...
In short... if you get the f 25 error code clean you vent line all the way till the end also the blower squirle cage make sure fins in the cage are completely lint free, Buy another finger fuse you should be good to go... :D

Thank you for the feedback and sharing your repair with us. It is very important to keep the vent clean for good dryer performance and safety. Good luck with your dryer.

Gene,
You are really helpful. Thanks for your guidance, I am having an F25 error code as well with the heater not heating. I believe that I need to also get the "hi-limit thermostat kit". My issue is my model number is wed9200suo and NOT wed9200sqo
Is teh part the same? Anybody?

The model number you posted (WED9200SU0) does not come up. Please verify the model number and repost it. Thank you.

Inlet Thermistor Fail
What to do - The controller indicates an electrical shorted inlet temperature sensor (thermistor). Remove power from the dryer. Use a multi-meter and check the resistance of that particular thermistor/temp sensor (50,000 ohms). If the inlet temperature sensor is bad then replace it.
