Electrolux washing machine error codes are very helpful when something goes wrong with your washer. These codes tell the user what type of problem the machine is having.
Electrolux washing machines do not show all error codes to the user. Very often the washing machine can simply stop washing and not show any error codes. If this happens, your Electrolux washing machine will need to enter the diagnostic service menu to get a error code read out. For some reason a lot of manufacturers only want to show the user only the simple faults that are related to a door been left open, closed water tap or blocked drain pump. But they hide a lot of other error codes like heater or motor faults.
Check out these 3 videos how to view fault codes on your Electrolux washing machine in a diagnostic service menu:
- Video for older machines with a white dial – Models EWF1074 and EWF1083.
- Video for newer machines with a bigger chrome dial – Models EWF12832.
