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. |

Malfunction: There is water on the floor
Solution:
- Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent (creates too much foam) has been used. => Reduce detergent quantity and use correct type of detergent.
- Check whether there are any leaks from one of the inlet hose fittings. It is not always easy to see this as the water runs down the hose; check to see if it is damp. => Check the water inlet hose connection.
- The drain hose is damaged. => Call Service.
Malfunction: Unsatisfactory washing result
Solution:
- Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used. => Increase detergent quantity or use different detergent.
- Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing. => Use commercial products to treat the stubborn stains.
- The correct temperature was not selected. => Check if you have selected the correct temperature.
- Excessive laundry load. => Reduce load.
Malfunction: The door will not open
Solution:
- The program is still running. => Wait until the end of cycle.
- There is water in the drum. => You must drain the water to open the door.
- This problem may be caused by a failure of the appliance. => Contact Service. If you need to open the door, please read carefully “Emergency door opening” on next page.
