Electrolux Washing Machine Error Codes

Electrolux washing machinesWashing machine error codes are necessary to simplify diagnostics.

Using them, we can easily understand what is broken in our household appliances.

This approach is quite convenient. So, let's get down to business.

 

Codes

Code Code interpretation Why did the error occur and how can I fix it?
E11 The machine doesn't fill with water during programs. The required amount of water didn't reach the required level within the required time.
  • The most common cause of this error is a faulty water inlet valve or triac.
  • Make sure the winding resistance is approximately 3.75 kOhm.
  • In addition to the reasons listed above, this problem may occur due to low water pressure in the water supply system, a lack of water in the pipes, or a clogged filling system.
E13 There was a leak. Liquid got into the machine's tray. Make sure there is indeed water in the pan. Find and fix the leak.
E21 The water was not drained from the washing machine within the set time (10 minutes).
  • The drainage system (pipes, filter, pump) is clogged.
  • The drain pump is out of order.
  • Make sure that the winding resistance of the drain pump is approximately 170 ohms.
  • The breakdown could have occurred due to a failure of the electronic module.
E23 The pump control triac is broken. Confirm the fault by checking the triac. If faulty, replace it.
E24 Violation of the integrity of the pump's thyristor circuit. Make sure there is a breakdown and fix it.
E31 Level relay failure.
  • Replace the level sensor.
  • Conduct a check and if a fault is found, replace the wiring.
E32 Erroneous data from the pressure switch
  • It's possible you forgot to turn on the water supply valve, or the water pressure is too low. Or maybe the water has been turned off.
  • Clean the inlet filter mesh of the inlet valve.
  • Replace this valve.
  • Try changing the level relay tube.
  • Replace the relay itself.
E33 Incorrect or inconsistent operation of pressure switches (1st level relay and heating element protective relay). Here are the most common ways this situation can arise:

  • The sensor tubes(s) are clogged.
  • The pressure switch or heating element relay has become faulty.
  • Excessive voltage in the electrical network.
E34 Mismatch between the level relay data and the second level of anti-boiling. If the error appears for more than one minute:

  • Replace the level relay tube.
  • Replace the pressure switch.
  • Make sure the wires and contacts are intact.
E35 Too much water in the machine There's too much water. It's reached the maximum level. Check the level switch and, if it's broken, replace it.
E36 Heating element level protection relay failure. Make sure there is a malfunction.
E37 The 1st water level relay is broken. Perform a check of this part.
E38 There is no signal about a change in pressure (probably the pressure switch tube is clogged) Clean/change the tube.
E39 The overflow pressure switch is broken. Conduct a test of this device.
E3A Heating element relay failure. It needs to be changed.
E41 The machine door is not closed tightly enough. Open and close the door again.
E42 UBL failure. Check and replace the door locking device if necessary.
E43 The control thyristor of the door lock is broken. Make sure it is faulty and replace it.
E44 The door opening sensor has become faulty. Make sure that this fault is present.
E45 Parts of the UBL thyristor circuit have broken. Perform a check of these parts.
E51 The electric motor's thyristor short-circuited. Conduct a malfunction check. If the problem is confirmed, replace the broken part.
E52 The electric motor tachometer does not transmit data to the controller. One of the most common causes of the "E52" code is a loose mounting washer. This can cause the coil to become dislodged, resulting in this malfunction. This can be corrected by replacing the coil and washer, or by replacing the tachometer.
E53 Parts of the control circuit of the electric motor's thyristor have failed. These parts are checked and, if any damage is detected, they are replaced.
E54 The contact group of the reverse relay (there are 2 of them in total) has ignited. Check and replace the part if there is a fault.
E55 Open circuit in the electric motor
  • Check and correct the wiring.
  • Conduct a check and change the engine.
E56 No data is received from the tachometer generator. Replace the specified spare part.
E57 Electricity more than 15 amps.
  • Check and replace the wiring if necessary.
  • Check and, if faulty, replace the electric motor.
  • Check and replace the electronic module if necessary.
E58 The electric motor's current is higher than 4.5 amperes.
  • Engine change.
  • Checking and, if necessary, replacing the wiring.
  • Replace the electronic module.
E59 Within 3 seconds from the moment the command to start the engine is given, there is no signal from the tachometer.
  • Conduct a wire check.
  • Replace the tachometric generator.
  • Replace the electric motor.
  • Replace the electronic module.

E5C The electrical voltage in the bus exceeded 430 V. Replace the electronic unit.
E5D FCV does not receive / send data for 2 sec. Replace the electronic unit.
E5E Problems in communication between FCV and main printed circuit board. Replace the electronic unit.
E5F FCV control board It makes configuration requests non-stop. This is because it's constantly resetting. Check the wiring for proper operation. Replace it if necessary. If that doesn't help, replace the electronic unit.
E61 During the heating process, the water does not reach the temperature required to complete the program within the required period of time. This error only appears in the washing machine's diagnostic mode. Make sure the heating element (TEN), its contacts, and wires are working properly.
E62 The water heated up to over 88 degrees in five minutes. Make sure the heating element is working properly (there's a possibility of a breakdown in the housing). However, this code most often appears when the temperature sensor fails. The temperature sensor should be tested with a multimeter. If the resistance is between 5.7 kOhm and 6.3 kOhm, it's OK.
E66 The heating element relay is out of order. Check the wiring, circuit, and relay for this component. If anything is faulty, replace it.

    I have an EWS 11600 W. It announced the end of the wash cycle a few seconds after starting it. An autopsy revealed that a wire had simply fallen off the drain pump. It's easily fixed, of course, but it's unclear why the machine didn't report the error. Is this a firmware glitch, or are special conditions required for the error to appear?

  2. Gravatar Valya Valya:

    We are getting errors E40 and E80, but they are not on the list. What do they mean?
