Electrolux dishwasher faults

Checking the dishwasher for a malfunction or in the case of an accident that has already occurred will be much faster if the owner is able to decipher the fault codes. Electrolux dishwashers provide for displaying error codes with i20, i30, and so on. This information is relevant not only for devices with a screen, but also for all models of this company. In the case when the screen is not provided by the design, an error can usually be recognized by the flashing of the end indicator. For such situations, its own encryption of flashes and symbols is provided.

Fluid intake or discharge problems

The most frequent breakdowns for dishwashers of any models and firms are recognized breakdowns that occur in the system of intake and drainage of water. In 40% of cases, they occur due to improper connection with the drainage system at home or water supply pipe. Violation of direct operating instructions can also cause critical malfunctions.

Error code i 10

This signal is also given by a single flashing of the end-indicator with a delay of five seconds. The device thus reports not flooded in the tank device water. If after one minute the container remains empty or not completely filled, this may mean the following:

• shut off fluid supply valve;
• constricted or kinked water hose;
• severe clogged hose filter.

All these problems can be fixed at home without the involvement of specialists.

The main thing is not to confuse the number 1 and the English letter i, sometimes they are almost the same when displayed on the screen.

Hose with inlet filter

Error code i 20

Two flashes in models without a screen. Makes it clear about failure to merge water from the dishwasher. If, after some time, the dishwasher did not drain the dirty liquid, and the symbol i 20 appeared, it is likely that the cleaning filter is blocked.A drain pump could also become unusable, a drainage type hose would bend over, a liquid level sensor would fail.

As a rule, to get rid of the error under the i20 sign, there is enough simple cleaning of the filtration mechanism, which is littered with food debris, hard bones, and particles of utensils.

Error code i 30

It also looks like three flashes of the end-indicator. As a rule, it denotes worked leakage protection system. Specifically, this code is triggered when a certain amount of fluid gets onto the pallet. After that, the float turns on, which activates the Aquastop system and opens its valve preventing water flow.

To eliminate this type of malfunction, simply remove the liquid from the pallet, then replace the water hose with a new one. After that, move the float to its normal position by tilting the dishwasher.

Error code i 60

Six flashes of the end-indicator. Signals about no heating liquid inside the dishwasher. Also in this way marked excess water heating and a significant excess of the required temperature. The causes of this phenomenon may lie in the following:

• burned out heating element;
• broken electrical wiring;
• temperature sensor malfunction;
• insufficient fluid volume;
• a failed circulation pump or control board.

Circulation pump

Experts say the first three problems are the most common. Replacing the sensor usually does not cause much difficulty in the presence of at least the initial skills of working with equipment. But to diagnose a board failure or a faulty wiring is much more difficult.

In most cases, you will need to contact a specialist.

IF01 error code

In the absence of a screen, it looks like fourteen flashes of the end-indicator. Occurs in case of exceeding the time period for fluid intake. In other words, this signal comes when the dishwasher overflowed excess water. The device is capable to eliminate this malfunction independently. The washing process will be continued with the use of the standard volume of water, and the excess liquid will be removed along with the waste.

Errors in electrical stuffing

These are the most difficult to diagnose faults in Electrolux dishwashers.

1. I50 error code
   Five end-indicator flashes reporting a breakdown triac. This part is responsible for controlling the circulating pump. First, the problem causes it to work at its limits, and then work stops. This error is eliminated only after replacing the triac.
2. I70 error code
   Seven flashes - breakdown thermistor in TENE. This leads to washing the dishes with cold water. Installing a new thermistor will correct this situation.
3. I80 error code
   Eight blinks - problem in memory control module. The problem is solved by flashing the module or replacing it with a new one.
4. I90 error code
   Nine flashes - critical system crashes checksum MCF or CCF. The situation is accompanied by the blocking of all modes of washing and the glow of the inclusion indicator. The problem is eliminated after changing the module to a new one.
5. Error code i A0
   Blink ten times - stop rotating rocker arms. As a rule, it is caused by jamming after surges in the power grid. Also, the problem may be caused by incorrect placement of dishes.
6. Error code iB0.
   Blink ten times - likely broken indicatorreporting fluid transparency. The fault is caused if the response from the sensor does not come within 15 - 40 seconds.

The above are the most common alarms. The ability to decipher them is necessary to provide timely repair and simplify diagnostic procedures. Most of these failures can be easily eliminated independently, but still the master’s call will never be superfluous.
