Heating problems
Electrolux dishwasher errors have their own codes, which are displayed on the control panel on the screen (as on the ESL47700R model). In models without a display (for example, model ESL 96211 LO), fault notifications are carried out using light signals - sequential flashing. In some models, a warning about problems is displayed both on the screen and by flashing indicator lights.
If your dishwasher is having heating problems, one of the following symbols may appear on the display:
1. i60 - the water does not heat up at all or overheats (warning in the form of 6 flashes). The causes of the problem may be:
- breakdown of the heating element or power cable;
- thermostat failure;
- low water level in the car;
- circulation pump failure;
- control board failure.
Solving the problem with error i60:
- checking and replacing the heating element and cable in case of burnout;
- checking and replacing the thermostat;
- checking the operation of the circulation pump and replacing it in case of breakdown;
- diagnostics of control board operation.
2. i70 - the thermistor is faulty, the heating element stops working and heating the water (signal - 7 flashes). The cause of the malfunction is burnt out contacts (most often as a result of a short circuit). To fix the problem, replace the thermistor.

Problems with draining and filling water
Water for washing dishes is collected from the central water supply network and drained into the sewer. If problems arise with draining/filling liquid, the equipment displays the following error codes:
1. i30 - the AquaStop system has activated, a lot of water has stagnated in the pan (warning - 3 flashes). A malfunction occurs due to a leak in the device.
To eliminate the i30 error in an Electrolux dishwasher, you need to check the tightness of the storage tank, cuffs and seals, evaluate the integrity of the hoses and the reliability of the connections.
2. iF0 - failure when filling the container with water (alarm - 14 consecutive flashes). Occurs due to exceeding the time of pouring water into the tank. To fix the problem, just drain the fluid and refill it.
Electrolux dishwasher errors
Electrolux dishwashers are loved by domestic consumers for their reliability, durability and functionality. The manufacturer improves its equipment every year and offers customers new models.
The brand's dishwashers have a long service life, but breakdowns still occur. Most often, the user himself is to blame: failure to follow the rules specified in the operating instructions often leads to equipment failure. To facilitate the task of finding the cause of a malfunction, many devices have a self-diagnosis system. Thanks to it, error codes are displayed on the display, knowing which you can independently determine the malfunction and fix it yourself.
Blockages
Because The water in the central system is of poor quality; problems with clogs in dishwashers arise quite often. But in most cases, the problem can be solved on your own.
If there is a malfunction, the dishwasher displays the following codes:
1. i10 - water does not enter the tank or is being filled for a long time (signal - 1 flash). A problem arises as a result of a clogged valve, hose or filter in the inlet system, or there is no central water supply.
Depending on the reason for stopping the water supply, the following actions must be taken:
- cleaning the filter mesh located at the inlet;
- checking and cleaning (if necessary) the inlet hose;
- checking the operation of the inlet valve;
- checking the availability of water in the apartment network.
2. i20 - waste water is not drained (signal - 2 flashes). A malfunction may occur as a result of a clogged pump, drain hose or filter, stoppage of the drain pump, squeezing of the drain hose, or malfunction of the level switch.
To resolve the problem, you can do the following:
- checking and cleaning the drain hose, pump or filter;
- installing the drain hose in its normal position;
- checking the drain pump impeller for contamination, cleaning;
- checking and replacing (if necessary) the level relay.
How to repair a dishwasher with your own hands?
If you have decided where to look for a breakdown, then our recommendations will help you deal with it. The first thing to do when an error occurs on the scoreboard is to restart the program. This will help eliminate system failure. The dishwasher control may malfunction after a sudden power outage.
- Unplug the machine;
- Wait 15 minutes;
- Turn on the equipment.
If the code disappears, it may be due to a system failure. Obvious signs of breakdown require immediate repair.
Fill and drain system problems
The main malfunctions of the tracts occur due to blockages. The inlet filter, like the hose, becomes clogged with debris from the water supply. This is small debris, rust, scale. The filter is equipped with a fine mesh that protects the dishwasher system from debris. To clean the tract:
- Close the inlet valve.
- Disconnect the inlet hose from the housing. Water may spill out of it, so have a container or rag ready.
- Behind it is a filter. Remove it with pliers.
Rinse the parts with warm water; if the mesh is heavily soiled, soak the mesh in a solution of citric acid.
Behind the filter there is a solenoid valve. When liquid is supplied, it opens the membranes and fills the tank. Voltage drops in the network lead to burnout of the valve coils, as a result of which they stop receiving module commands. If the coils burn out, the entire valve is replaced.
The drain path becomes clogged much more often. Poor removal of food residues from the surface of the dishes, infrequent cleaning of the drain leads to blockage, and then to pump malfunction. Damage can be prevented by following simple rules:
- Clean dishes thoroughly before loading.
- Remove dirt from the chamber at least once a week, or better yet, after each wash.
- Use high-quality powders and washing tablets.
How to restore the drain yourself:
- Open the bunker;
- Remove the dish trays;
- Unscrew the filter at the bottom and remove the mesh;
- Clean the parts from debris;
- Liquid accumulates in the mounting hole - remove it with a sponge;
Remove the protective cover;
Wear gloves and clear any blockage from the pump impeller. Be careful, fragments of broken dishes can block the operation of the impeller.
Sensor malfunctions
Sensors in Electrolux dishwashers control the operation of the equipment, automatically monitoring the temperature, water level and its quality.
If problems occur with sensors, the following codes may be issued:
1. ib0 - transparency sensor problem (warning - 11 flashes). Occurs as a result of clogging of the drain system, problems with the level relay, or the formation of dirty deposits on the sensor.
To resolve the problem, perform the following steps:
- cleaning the drain system (actions performed for error i 20);
- sensor replacement;
- cleaning the sensor from dirt.
2. id0 - malfunction of the tachometer, which is responsible for monitoring the rotor speed of the equipment motor (warning in the form of 13 flashes). The malfunction occurs as a result of loosening of fastenings due to vibration, and if grounding is not supplied. Less often, a failure is the cause of burnout of the tachometer winding.
To fix the problem you need to:
- check and tighten the sensor fasteners;
- measure the resistance value on the contacts, which changes when the motor armature moves;
- replace the sensor.
3. i40 - water level sensor malfunction (warning - 4 flashes). Reasons: failure of the pressure switch or control module. Depending on the cause of the i40 error, replacement of the sensor or control module is required. In some cases, it is enough to flash the module.
Error i40 in an Electrolux dishwasher - how to fix it
Electrolux dishwashers are becoming increasingly popular among users. This modern technology has quite a few functions, including a self-diagnosis option. If a specific breakdown occurs or a system failure occurs, the exact code that identifies the specific problem or series of problems appears on the dishwasher display. Thanks to such a smart program, the owner of the dishwasher will be able to quickly figure out what exactly is wrong and which systems or parts should be inspected first. Error i40 in an Electrolux dishwasher is considered a fairly common occurrence, which indicates a number of malfunctions that require professional intervention.
Electrical faults
You must be careful with the electrical part of the equipment. Repair work must not be carried out while the power supply is on.
If electrical problems arise, the dishwasher displays Electrolux error codes:
1. i50 - malfunction of the control triac of the circulation pump (signal in the form of 5 blinks). The failure occurs due to voltage surges, a low quality thyristor, or an overload from the signal from the control board.
To solve the error (e 50 or i 50), you should check the functionality of the control board, or replace the thyristor.
2. i80 - malfunction of the external memory unit (warning - 8 blinks). The cause of the malfunction may be a firmware failure or a breakdown of the control module.
To fix the problem, you need to reflash or replace the control module.
3. i90 - the electronic board is malfunctioning, it is impossible to select and install the program (accompanied by 9 blinks). A problem occurs due to a firmware violation. To eliminate it, you need to change the electronic board.
4. iA0 - the water spray system is faulty (warning - 10 flashes). The problem may occur as a result of the dishes being loaded incorrectly, or the spray arm has stopped rotating.
To fix the problem, you should check the placement of the dishes in the device, or fix the problem of poor-quality operation of the rocker.
5. iC0 - there is no connection between the electronic board and the control panel (signal - 12 blinks). The cause of the failure is a faulty electronic board. To repair the equipment, it is necessary to replace the board.
Error resolution options
The option for how to fix the Electrolux dishwasher error mentioned above depends on the specific breakdown of the equipment. The first thing the user should do is restart the device to find out if there is a system failure. To restart, you need to disconnect the dishwasher from the power supply for 10 minutes, and then start it again.
If the error appears again, you need to check the condition of the pressure switch, which is done according to the following scheme:
- the dishwasher is completely disconnected from communications;
- the technical device is placed in a convenient place that allows access to all its internal systems;
- the side walls of the case are completely removable;
- The dishwasher is placed on its side;
- you need to unscrew the bolts of the pallet and move it a little;
- the power wires are carefully removed, the pressure switch is pulled out of the machine;
- if the pressure switch tube is clogged, it should be cleaned; if everything is fine, you need to inspect the control module.
If the system can be cleaned and it is functioning, that’s good, otherwise you will have to change parts. Every owner of a dishwasher should know what to do when an error code appears, but a person who does not have experience working with internal appliance systems should call a qualified technician from a service center for diagnosis and repair.
Usually the problem lies precisely in blockages, which causes a malfunction in the functional functioning of the parts, so such moments should be avoided in every possible way. It is necessary to strictly follow the operating rules of the dishwasher, carefully clean its filters, doing this in a timely manner. Since the Electrolux dishwasher is considered one of the best, its proper operation will help completely eliminate the occurrence of many errors.
