    We have hard water in our area so mineral deposits clog the filter and internal parts after a year causing the ERROR 01 message. You do NOT have to remove the bottom water basin. Instead get a 4 foot length of 1/4 inch tubing (fuel line at a hobby shop or air line at a pet store) and remove the inside Glass Trap Filter to insert the tubing into the bottom basin and siphon the water out. Unplug the dishwasher and leave the door open overnight. In the morning when you plug it in you will get the WELCOME display. Then you must run a commerical cleaning solution (we use Finish) to remove the mineral buildup. We have to do the same thing with our Kerug coffee maker. Set an annual alarm on your smart phone to remind you to do this once a year.

The water will have leaked into the drip pan underneath, which is installed to protect your floors. Unfortunately, only way to get at it is to pull out dishwasher and remove 3 phillips screws that hold it on. In order to repair leaks, Electrolux came out with a "leak kit", which is part number 154769101. Comes with all parts that they had leak issues with

    I also have had problems with mine. I originally bought a floor model and it was only $500 so I thought - lets give it a try. I installed it myself and it is very quiet, but average at cleaning dishes. It also developed the error 1 code - I took it out and flipped it over and took off the pan and tightened the hoses. The problem went away for a while ( 6 months) , then returned. I took it back out and thought I could find the leak. (this was yesterday). It was also leaking a little on the floor toward the end of the cycle. I put it up on some 4 x 6's and took off the pan and ran it on a normal wash. After about 10 min it started dripping into the "pan area" . What I found however was that it was not from the motor, but was coming from the front door seal/pan. I took apart the front door ( remove the screws from the inside (but leave the top philips screws!) and ran it again. What I found was that at the corners of the door, water was running outside the seal, slowly filling up the front little lip, and then leaking out. There is a gray plastic shield below the lip held by 2 screws ( I think for sound insulation) which would then catch the water and channel it back inside the machine that would cause the error 1 code!. What I did at this point was open the door and lift part of the gasket from the bottom ( it was a little loose) and realized that it was allowing water to dribble out past the gasket, catch on the lip, overflow over the lip, and cause the problem. I then pulled out ~ 4 inches of the gasket, and put silicone in the channel, and reapplied the gasket. Also, I lifted the corner rubber gasket ( bottom corner where the hinge meets) away from the wall and then applied silicone. I waited overnight and reran the dishwasher this morning watching for the leak and- NO LEAKS! I also put a large swath of silicone on the gray plastic below the lip so water can't go into the pan and set off the alarm, and I also put a door vinyl weather stripping glued to the lip to add a little height in case it starts to leak again. Well - all is well now ? for how long? But I could at least see the problem (their design problem) It took me a few hours, but so far so good. If any major thing happens to this dishwasher again however, I will trash it and get a bosch or kitchenaid/kenmore elite. hope this helps

Electrolux glass cook top model PLEC30SS980CB says ER on one burner.

When an Electrolux glass cooktop displays the "ER" error code on one burner, it typically indicates an issue with that specific burner. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can follow to try and fix the problem:
1. Turn off the power: Start by turning off the power to the cooktop at the circuit breaker. This ensures your safety while working on the appliance.
2. Check for debris or obstructions: Inspect the affected burner for any debris, food residue, or obstructions. Clean the burner thoroughly with a soft cloth or sponge, ensuring there is no buildup that could be causing the error.
3. Reset the cooktop: After cleaning, reset the cooktop by turning the power back on at the circuit breaker. This may clear the error code and allow the burner to function properly again.
4. Check the wiring: If the error persists, there might be a wiring issue. In this case, it is recommended to contact a professional technician or the Electrolux customer service for assistance. Working with electrical components can be dangerous, so it's best to have a qualified professional handle the repair.
Electrolux customer service can provide further guidance and troubleshooting steps specific to your model if needed.

How to fix an error E 15 code on electrolux induction range

Thank you for your inquiry, Carol!

From what you have described your Electrolux range is displaying an error code of E15. I see you have reset your breaker and continue to receive the error code. The error code E15 means that your ESEC (Electronic Surface Element Control) test failed this could be a problem with your relay board or UIB (User Interface Board). When you reset your breaker did you leave it off for at least ten minutes? That is the best way to reset your range. You may need to seek assistance from a professional technician for proper diagnosis and repair. This will help you to avoid any unnecessary part purchases. Hopefully this information is helpful. -Matt

ELECTROLUX WAVE TOUCH GIVING ERROR CODE 4

Hello JOHN, thanks for your post!
From the information you have provided your Electrolux dishwasher is displaying error code 4. "E4" stands for drying damper which means it could be a potential problem with your damper or the main control. I would recommend performing a reset and that could clear any false error codes. To reset your dishwasher flip the household circuit breaker off for roughly ten minutes. If that does not help correct the issue I would recommend having a professional technician out to properly repair it. Good luck. -Matt

E31 error code on electrolux washing machine

Good Afternoon Friend,

I understand that you are receiving an E31 error code on your Electrolux washer, model# EW1000i. In researching the model number you provided, I show that this was manufactured in the UK. For North American washers, I would suggest resetting you appliance, by either unplugging it or shutting the power off at your home's circuit breaker, for 3-5 minutes. You can try this, and if it does not work, I suggest contacting the manufacturer directly, for further assistance. They should be able to tell you what the E31 means, as well as assist in clearing it. Hope this is helpful.

Electrolux dishwasher giving error code 1?

Good Morning Brian,

I understand that you are receiving an error code 1 on your Electrolux dishwasher, model# EWDW6505GS. Error 1 is stating that water has been detected underneath the tub. Check underneath your dishwasher by taking off the kick plate below the door. If you do not notice any water underneath the tub or any types of leaking, I suggest resetting your appliance, by either unplugging it or shutting the power off at your home's circuit breaker for 20-30 minutes. When the time has passed, restore power, and run any cycle. If you are still receiving error code 1, I suggest you contact your local authorized technician for further assistance. Hope this is helpful.

Electrolux E 95 code

Hello Robert - Typically, error code E95 indicates a power voltage miscommunication to the main components of the unit. You may try and reset the induction cook top by disconnecting the power to the unit for up to 30 seconds by flipping the circuit breaker off and back on. This often clears most false error codes. If the error code does not clear, then I would recommend contacting a professional to proceed further.

My electrolux iduction cook top sends error across the whole bord when I put anythng on the inductoin burner

You may try and reset the induction cook top by disconnecting the power to the unit for up to 30 seconds. This will clear most false error codes. You can disconnect power by flipping the circuit breaker off and back on. If the error code does not clear, then the unit more than likely can be experiencing an issue with the EOC and user interface board. This is not a typical do it yourself job; please consult a professional or your manufacturer.
