Electrolux AB is a multinational home appliance manufacturer based in Sweden. A collaboration between Lux AB and Svenska Elektron AB, the company became Electrolux AB. Initially, the company only sold vacuum cleaners in Europe, and soon started shifting towards other home appliances. Starting with an absorption refrigerator, followed by washing machines, dishwashers, and food service equipment.
Ranked as the world’s second latest appliance maker (based on units sold) it comes just after Whirlpool. While Electrolux sells its items with its own brand names, there are brands it uses to sell its appliances. Today, Electrolux washers are considered to be one of the best choices, making them an easy pick for your residential use. These come in a range of models to choose from, each one offering a different capacity and features.
Fully automatic washers come with LCD panels that are designed to help you operate your system with ease. However, it can all come crashing down when you see an error on the screen. Rather than panicking, we suggest you note it down and find out the issue causing an error. To help you out we have listed down some of the most common error codes for Electrolux Washers.
Codes Table
| Error Codes | Problem |
|---|---|
| 01 | NO WATER. Water level has not reached set level within time set. After this error message appears and the machine is reset, the machine will try again. |
| 02 | DOOR OPEN. Signal from microswitch which checks door status absent during program. After this error message appears and the machine is reset, the machine will try again. |
| 03 | DOOR UNLOCKED. Signal from microswitch which detects when the door is locked absent during program. |
| 04 | NTC LOW TEMP. The temperature is below the lowest value allowed (open circuit in temperature sensor). |
| 05 | NTC HIGH TEMP. The temperature is above the highest value allowed (short-circuit in temperature sensor). |
| 06 | WATER IN DRUM. The water level is higher that the level EMPTY at the start of the program. |
| 07 | MACHINE OVER-FILLED. The water level is higher than the ”LEVEL OVERFILL” (i.e. DRUM OVER-FILLED) level. If this function is switched off (=N), instead the drain valve will open for a short time and discharge some of the water. This is described under the function ”DRAIN TIME WHEN OVERFILL” (i.e. DRAIN TIME AFTER OVER-FILLING) earlier in this section. |
| 08 | NO HEATING. The temperature has not increased by the number of degrees specified in the function ”MIN. TEMPERATURE INCREASE” (see back in this section), over the period of time specified in the function MAXIMUM HEATING TIME (see ”SETTINGS 1”). On machines built for washing mops, it can be caused by too low a level in the program stage. The lowest level for a mop program in the main wash with heating is 22 scale units. |
| 10 | NOT DRAINED. When the drain sequence has finished, the water level is still higher than the EMPTY level. |
| 11 | UNBALANCE SENSOR FAULT. The unbalance switch is closed when the machine is starting on a drain sequence. |
| 13 | NO MOTOR COMM. Communication between PCU and motor control unit interrupted or disturbed. |
| 14 | LEVEL CALIBRATION. Every machine has individual level calibration at the factory. If these calibration values are missing or fall outside the limit values, an error warning will be flagged at each program start-up. The program can still be started, however, by pressing START. It will then use standard (default) values, which means that the levels will not be as precise as intended. |
| 15 | EMERGENCY STOP. The emergency stop button has been pressed. |
| 16 | WEIGHT FROM SCALE. Over-/Under-load of scale or weight above limit for maximum allowed weight at wash module start. |
| 17 | DOOR LOCK. Even though the door lock microswitch indicates that the door is locked, the signal from the microswitch which is used to detect when the door is closed is absent. |
| 18 | START NOT ALLOWED. Network does not allow programme start. |
| 19 | MIS COMMUNICATION. Machine has lost contact with network. |
| 20 | INTERLOCK STATUS. The motor control system for frequency-controlled motors (EWD) receives a signal direct from the door lock which indicates that the door really is closed. If this signal is lost, a fault signal is sent to the PCU |
| 21 | I/O COMMUNICATION. Communication between the CPU board and one of the I/O boards interrupted or disturbed. |
| 22 | LOW OIL LEVEL. In machines with an oil lubrication system, indicates low level in the oil container. |
| 23 | PHASE. Incorrect input voltage to external equipment. |
| 24 | PRESSURE SENSOR TILT. Both pressure sensors are active at the same time |
| 25 | PRESSURE SENSOR TIMEOUT. No pressure at the relevant pressure sensor within the maximum time allowed for tilt backwards or forwards. |
| 26 | DOOR SWITCH, TILT. Door closed (S3) is "on" at a time when the machine door is locked open (S25).) |
| 27 | AUT. LEVEL CALIB. The pressure sensor for the water level signals a value that is so different from the empty machine state that the automatic level calibration cannot adjust the level system. |
| 28 | Calibration of level system not done in service mode before use of machine. |
| 31 | HEAT SINK TOO HOT. Temperature of MCU control circuits too high |
| 32 | MOTOR TOO HOT. Motor thermal protection has tripped |
| 33 | NO INTERLOCK. The motor has received a start command from the PCU without receiving an interlock signal from the door lock. The MCU receiving circuitry for the interlock signal is not faulty. |
| 35 | MOTOR SHORTNING. Short-circuit between motor windings or to earth. |
| 36 | INTERLOCK HARDWARE. Fault in MCU receiving circuitry for lock acknowledgement signal |
| 37 | LOW DC VOLTAGE. DC voltage too low |
| 38 | HIGH DC VOLTAGE. DC voltage too high |
| 39 | RIPPEL ON DC BUS. DC level varying too much |
| 40 | LINE INTERRUPT. One phase missing for/at motor control unit |
| 41 | KLIXON CIRCUITS. Hardware fault, temperature monitoring, motor |
| 42 | NO PARAM. SET IN MCU. The motor controller (MCU) (inverter) contains several different parameter sets for different motors. During power up the timer checks that the correct parameter set digit is written into the MCU. If not, the timer will write down the parameter set digit defined in fixed config. If the MCU discovers that no parameter set value is written down into the MCU, the error coce will be displayed. |
| E10 | The appliance does not fill with water properly. |
| E20 | The appliance does not drain the water. |
| E40 | The appliance door is open or not closed correctly. Please check the door! |
| EH0 | The main supply is unstable. Wait until the main supply is stable. |
| E91 | No communication between electronic elements of the appliance. Switch off and switch on again. |

Dryer Care and Cleaning
- Before cleaning the dryer interior, unplug the electrical power cord to avoid electrical shock hazards.
- Do not use any type spray cleanser when cleaning the dryer interior. Hazardous fumes or electrical shock could occur.
Inside
- Clean the lint filter after every load. Lint buildup on the filter restricts air flow, which causes longer drying times. The filter is located at the bottom of the door opening. Remove by pulling straight up. Remove the lint and replace the filter.
- Occasionally a waxy build-up may form on the lint filter and/or moisture sensing bars from using dryer-added fabric softener sheets. To remove this build-up, wash them with warm, soapy water. Dry the filter thoroughly and replace. Do not operate the dryer without the lint filter in place.
- If the dryer drum becomes stained from noncolorfast fabrics, clean the drum with a damp cloth and a mild liquid household cleanser. Remove cleanser residue before drying the next load.
- Every 18 months an authorized servicer should clean the dryer cabinet interior and exhaust duct. These areas can collect lint and dust over time. An excessive amount of lint build-up could result in inefficient drying and possible fire hazard.
Outside
- Clean the cabinet with mild soap and water. Never use harsh, gritty or abrasive cleansers.
- If the cabinet becomes stained, clean with diluted chlorine bleach (1 part bleach to 8 parts water). Rinse several times with clear water.
- Remove glue residue from tape or labels with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent. Or, touch residue with the sticky side of the tape or label.
- When cleaning chrome parts use a window cleaner with ammonia or mild soap and water.
- Before moving the dryer, place a strip of cardboard or thin fiberboard under the front leveling legs to prevent damage to the floor.
Dryer Troubleshooting
Common Drying Problems: Many drying problems involve poor cleaning results, poor soil and stain removal, residues of lint and scum, and fabric damage. For satisfactory drying results, follow these suggestions provided by The Soap and Detergent Association.
| Problem | Possible Cause |
|---|---|
| Greasy, oily stains | Fabric softener sheet. Rub fabric softener stains with bar soap. Rinse and rewash. |
| Lint | Overdrying causes static electricity. Reduce load size and rewash using liquid fabric softener in the final rinse. • Or, add a fabric softener sheet and tumble without heat. |
| Pilling (Fibers ball up and cling to fabric) | Overdrying. Use a lint brush or shaver to remove pills. |
| Shrinking | Temperature too high. Irreversible condition. |
| Wrinkling | Overloading. Reduce load size and tumble at medium or low heat for 5-10 minutes. |
| Dryer does not start. | Electrical power cord is not securely plugged in or plug may be loose. Make sure the plug fits tightly in wall outlet. |
| LCD displays DEMO MODE | Dryer has been programmed to temporarily perform a repeating demo cycle. To return to the factory default settings, select RESET in set prefs under the options scroll buttons. |
| Dryer runs but won’t heat | There are 2 house fuses in the dryer circuit. If 1 of the 2 fuses is blown, the drum may turn but the heater will not operate. (electric models) Replace fuse. |
| Drying cycle takes too long, outside of the dryer feels too hot or smells hot | Lint filter is clogged with lint. Make sure all lint has been removed from the dryer lint filter before starting each cycle. |
| Excessive wrinkling | Dryer is overloaded. Do not overload. |
| Scratching or chipping of the drum finish | Foreign objects such as coins, pins, clips or buttons are inside the dryer. Always remove foreign objects from pockets before laundering. Remove objects from drum and restart dryer. |
