The early models of Electrolux dishwashers were not provided with any displays, so the error code was indicated by a flashing LED. An End indicator was a typical one for the most models. The error code is presented by the number of flashes at a rate of 2 Hz every 5 seconds. Flashing is complemented by the same number of sound signals. The three bottom photos show examples of a control panel the display with the End indicator. In the last photo, it is exactly in the middle in the far right row of indicators.

Every effort has been made to ensure that you can find your user manual, however, if our search doesn’t return any documents, contact our team who will be happy to help.

Although more modern models display an error code, some models still report an error by flashing the End indicator. The first photo shows the control panel without this indicator, the second one – the panel with the indicator. Still, this rule is not universal. For example, an Electrolux ESL 66010 dishwasher detects a filling error in the operation mode. Then the i10 code is displayed along with the flashing Tap indicator. If there is a draining problem or a leak – the current program indicator flashes continuously (i20 and i30 codes respectively).

Note that you will not see all the errors of Electrolux dishwashers in the normal operation mode. The system will warn you only about the problems you are likely to solve (for example, an i10 error code means “No water supply”). All other codes, including their details, can be viewed only in a special test mode of the device. (Many codes have sub-codes that specify the nature and location of the fault.) In the table below, we will mention which codes are available to users on most models.

Water gaining, draining and heating up errors

The most widespread breakages and failures of a dishwasher of any brand are connected with water gaining and draining processes. In the majority of cases, it is caused by improper connection to water supply or sewerage and especially by the violation of the rules of operation.

Please note! Don’t muddle English letter I with figure 1 which lightens up on a dishwasher’s display

The dishwasher is not filling: the required water level is not reached during the maximum time

Number of flashings: 1
Code availability, mode: Normal

i10 error code or single blink of an indicator with a five-second delay informs that water can’t enter a device. If in a minute storage tank is not filled with a certain amount of water, the problem appears. It can be caused by a closed water supply tap, a water supply hose bending or a clog in the filter that is located before the filling hose. Such reasons can be fixed independently and easily, without any difficulties.

Be sure to check:

1. Litter in the nozzles, responsible for water supply.
2. Filters clogging, if these elements are provided by the design of a particular model.
3. Replacement of the device of the inlet is required.

The LED flashes once. The error signals about the problem when water doesn’t enter a device (in one minute, the predetermined level is not reached).

The drain pump turns on immediately, and the washing cycle is stopped.

• The water tap is closed, the water pressure is weak
• The filling hose is defective: it is clogged, pinched or damaged. An airlock may occur as well
• The drain hose is installed improperly, so the water is drained automatically. See the manual
• The inlet electrovalve is faulty, or its filter is clogged
• The water level sensor is broken. It requires replacement or cleaning of the water inlet path

The system is failing to drain dirty water. After the maximum time, the water level switch hasn’t signaled the empty tub

Number of flashings: 2
Code availability, mode: Normal

i20 code or two blinks inform about no draining in a dishwasher (level relay for the time set by the program hasn’t triggered). If during the certain period of time a device can’t drain water causing the i20 error code, so most of all the cleaning filter is clogged, the drain pump is broken, the drain hose is bent or the water level sensor is out of order. As a rule, in order to get rid of the i20 problem, all you need is to clean the filters that are often clogged with food remnants, bones, and sometimes even with bits of broken dishes.

Please examine the next elements:

1. The drain system is littered.
2. The pump is out of order.
3. The pump impeller pump is damaged.
4. Malfunction of a device’s management module.

The washing cycle is stopped. The possible causes are the following ones:

• First you need to inspect the drain hose. It could be clogged, pinched or damaged
• Another obvious reason is the dirty drain filter. See the manual for the cleaning instructions
• The drain pump is malfunctioning. Call a handyman.
• The water level switch is faulty, or the control circuit of the sensor is open. If you have checked the circuit, and it is functioning, then you need to replace the sensor

The float sensor of the “Aqua-Stop” system has sent a signal indicating a leak

Number of flashings: 3
Code availability, mode: Normal

i30 code or three blinks of an indicator mean that water leakage protection system has reacted. To be more precise, the water got into the drip tray, the float has triggered and a valve in the Aquastop system opened the water supply. To eliminate this error, it is necessary to drain the water from the tray and change the Aquasto phose (if it is mechanical). Also, you can just drain the water and bring the float out of the “water” position, tilting a dishwasher for it.

The washing cycle is stopped. The drain pump is activated. The possible causes are the following ones:

• If it is the drain pump that is leaking, it is likely to be beyond repair. You need to install a new pump
• Carefully examine all the places in the dishwasher the water can leak from: the inlet and outlet hoses, the door, the detergent drawer, the inner pipes, and the tub
• The float sensor is defective. It requires diagnosis and replacement

The water is not heated or is heated very slowly or, conversely, overheated

Number of flashings: 6
Code availability, mode: Normal

i60 code or six blinks signal that a device doesn’t heat up water or conversely warms it above the set temperature level.

Therefore, temperature problems are right here. In this case, the error code can be caused by:

1. A heating element has burnt;
2. Electrical wiring is damaged;
3. A temperature sensor is out of order;
4. The small amount of collected water;
5. Breakage of the circulation pump or control board.

It is worth checking:

• The heating element is out of order. It can be caused by a damage to the case, a breakthrough of the spark between the terminals, the resistance between them and some other moments.
• The temperature sensor is out of order and sends the wrong data to the module. Another option is that the information is not sent at all.
• The water level inside the circulation pump is below the permissible limit.
• The control board has a malfunction.

If you have even a small experience of working with technics, you’ll be able to change the heating element independently. Nevertheless, it’s much more complicated to diagnose a malfunction of wiring and control board. That’s why in most cases this responsible process is trusted to a specialist.

The washing cycle is still on at the temperature that was achieved. The possible causes are the following ones:

• The temperature sensor or water level sensor is defective. A broken sensor is usually replaced
• The control circuit of the electrical heating element is defective. Fix the wiring and secure the contacts
• The heater has burnt irreversibly. It is beyond repair
• The electronics is buggy. The controller board shall be replaced. Call the service shop

The water hasn’t filled the basin to the prescribed level during the washing stage requiring some extra water

Number of flashings: 14
Code availability, mode: Test

Speaking about dishwashers that are not equipped with a screen, iF01 code is shown as fourteen blinks of an indicator. This error is related to exceeding the permissible time of water filling, i.e. water in the dishwasher was typed too long. Despite this problem, the machine continues to wash the dishes with a small amount of water until the water is drained, after which the error is eliminated.

The washing cycle continues “as is”, that is, with the available amount of water.The water is not heated just in case. The error resets after the drying cycle

• During the washing cycle, the dishes have shifted in the basin, and they obstruct the filling process
• The filling filter is clogged
• The foam is excessive during the washing cycle. Usually, that’s the case due to the wrong detergent
• The pressure switch is faulty, or its circuit is open

The Errors Related to Electrical Wiring and Sensors

This group of errors is considered to be more difficult in both diagnosis and elimination criteria. These error codes are related to Electrolux dishwashers:

No information is received from the triac of the circulation pump motor, possibly due to a short circuit

Number of flashings: 5
Code availability, mode: Normal

I50 error code or five blinks of an indicator inform the user of the failure of the triac which is responsible for the operation of the circulation pump (a short circuit has occurred). In case of this malfunction, the pump runs for a while at full power, after which the washing program completely stops. You can eliminate the error only by replacing the triac on the control module.

When the motor does not receive commands from the controller, it will start working at maximum speed just in case. It is necessary to check and repair the circuit of the triac and replace it if faulty. All the elements of the triac are located on the electronic controller. So you’d better call an experienced technician for diagnostics.

The resistance of the NTC sensor is out of range

Number of flashings: 7
Code availability, mode: Test

i70 error code or seven blinks of an indicator mean failure of the thermistor of the heating element, as a result of which the washing is carried out without water heating. In this case, stopping the washing process is not provided. The program will be executed to the very end, but the heating function is not activated. Replacing the NTC thermistor will solve this problem.

The washing cycle is still on without heating. The main possible cause is a short circuit, but the others are not excluded.

• The NTC sensor circuit is defective. Check and repair the wiring, tighten the contacts
• The actual sensor is faulty. it won’t hurt to check it, but a usual way out is to replace the malfunctioning sensor
• A control board element has burnt out

Missing or unstable data exchange between the microprocessor and the EEPROM

Number of flashings: 8
Code availability, mode: Test

i80 error code or eight indicator blinks signal about the problem in EEPROM memory of the control module. Most likely, there was a flashing of the firmware or a breakdown of the control module.

You need to check the circuit containing the processor and the memory and make sure the board power supply is OK. Given that we are talking about the main motherboard, we do not recommend doing anything about it yourself. Call the service shop

The hash total of the dishwasher configuration is wrong

Number of flashings: 9
Code availability, mode: Test

I90 error code of nine indicator blinks inform about the malfunction of the MCF or CCF control board. In this case, a user can’t pick any washing mode and only on/off button is lighten up. The problem is solved by module replacement.

Nine blinks of a LED mean a receiving an incorrect checksum during the program process. The most likely option is the problem with the firmware. Sometimes, the ON/OFF LED lights up, and END does not blink.

The error appears when the dishwasher is turned on. As a result, the choice of the washing program is not available.

• Enter the correct configuration code
• Update the firmware of the control board. It shall be done by a certified specialist only
• The main control board is faulty. Contact the service shop

An arm cannot rotate properly

Number of flashings: 10
Code availability, mode: Test

iA0 error code or ten indicator blinks signal that the sprinkler inside the machine does not rotate. This can be caused by jamming as a result of the voltage jump. Most often, the reason is much simpler – the dishes are settled in a wrong way. However, the fault is also caused by program failures, and not by a technical malfunction.

The electronics controls the rotation of the arm at each stage of the washing cycle.

• The dishes arrangement is wrong in the basin
• The circuit of the sensor controlling the speed of rotation is open
• The sensor is faulty
• The controller is defective

The turbidity sensor is faulty (if available in this model)

Number of flashings: 11
Code availability, mode: Test

iB0 error code or eleven indicator blinks signal that the sensor that determines the transparency of water is out of order. The breakage occurs if there is no data on the turbidity of water for 15-20 seconds. The most likely option is the need to replace the transparency sensor. The dishwasher stops all processes and waits for the moment when the connection is restored. The cause of the malfunction may be a malfunction of the module. The board must be diagnosed and replaced if needed.

The washing cycle is not off, but the electronics assumes significant contamination just in case

• Clean the dishwasher basin
• The circuit containing the sensor is open. Check and fix the wiring, connect the contacts securely and tighten them
• The turbidity sensor is defective. You need to replace it.
• The controller is malfunctioning. Call a specialist

No signal is received from the tachogenerator of the circulation motor

Number of flashings: 13
Code availability, mode: Test

iD0 error code or thirteen indicator blinks inform about the breakage of the tachogenerator of the circulation pump in case of absence of a signal for 20 seconds. The water does not heat up.

Possible malfunctions:

1. Tachogenerator sensor is out of order.
2. A tear occurred in the tachogenerator circuit.
3. The problem is in the control module.

The circulation motor is powered, but the tachogenerator won’t provide a confirmation message. When the data on the speed of the motor is unavailable, it is forced to run at too high speeds

• The circuit containing the sensor is open, or the contacts are disconnected
• The tachogenerator is defective. You need to replace it
• The motor capacitor has burnt out. You need to replace it as well
• A motor element is defective. It requires some complex diagnostics, repair or replacement if necessary

iF0 error code or fourteen blinks of an indicator means exceeding the time limit in the process of filling a device with water. The problem appears due to the too long period of the bay. Unlike the i20 error code, the failure is more often caused by software factors.

An error has been detected in communication between the user interface (display) board and the control module

Number of flashings: 12
Code availability, mode: Test

If there is no data from the information display, the washing cycle is stopped temporarily for the connection to be restored

• The circuit containing the boards is open, or the contacts are disconnected
• A display board element has burnt out. It needs some diagnosis, repair or replacement
• The same is true for the motherboard. If that’s the case, do not hesitate to contact the service shop

“How To Fix Your Broken Appliance”

The reason for codes and solutions, however, are going to vary from case to case, and based upon the manufacturer’s model that you own.

Understanding the proper approach to fixing the common Electrolux dishwasher error codes not only prevents future issues, but also reduces the chances that you’ll have to hire a professional (and overpay) to do repair work in the future.

Most Common Codes

Again, every dishwasher is a little different than the next. But, common Electrolux dishwasher error codes are typically related to overflow, too many/too few dishes in the dishwasher (imbalance), or clogged/backed up hoses and piping.

These are a few of the most common errors Electrolux dishwasher owners experience.

Bear in mind, that with each of these common Electrolux dishwasher error codes, the numbers may vary a bit, depending on the model (for example, IC0 might be IC1, IC2, or IC3, depending on your model).

However, the beginning of the codes tends to be similar, regardless of which model dishwasher you own, so this guide will at least provide some insight as to what the codes mean.

#iC0 (Electronic Control System)

This error code means a problem has been detected with the electronic control system. This typically affects freestanding or integrated machines.

One of the primary reasons you’ll see this code, indicating a potential problem with the control system, is a communication error.

The error might be between the control board and the rest of the parts in the dishwasher. This is preventing your dishwasher from starting.

#i20, i40, iFO (Drain System)

Service Manual Electrolux Dishwasher Ewdw6505gs0b

This error means you’re dealing with clogged filters, or there’s a restricted drain line, which your dishwasher has detected.

If there’s a blockage in the drain line of your dishwasher’s system, this error will pop up.

Additionally, if your dishwasher’s drain pump is clogged, this might also trigger the i20, i40, or IFO error code to pop up on the control panel.

#i30 (Leak/Overflow)

With this error code, your dishwasher is informing you of a leak or water overflow, that is sitting in the drip pan (the base) of your dishwasher.

The code triggers that there is a leak or overflow coming from somewhere in your dishwasher (the code might vary for each model, based upon where the leak or overflow originates).

With this error, you’ll have to do a little more digging, since the leak can be coming from multiple areas in the machine.

Service Manual Electrolux Dishwasher Ewdw6505gs0

#Er-03 (Motor Issue)

When your Electrolux machine’s motor is malfunctioning, this is the error code that will pop up on the control panel. This code will only come up in one of two instances.

First, the motor has failed. The second reason, is if the motor is being obstructed by dishes, or something else, while the motor is in operation.

Sometimes it’s as easy as removing the dish/obstruction, in other cases, repair might be necessary.

LOC (Dishwasher Lock Error)

This final common Electrolux dishwasher error codes appears if there is an issue with the door lock function (malfunction) with your Electrolux dishwasher unit.

If the door locks and won’t open, you’ll see this code. The only way to run a wash cycle is to first unlock the door.

The Solution to Electrolux dishwasher error codes

Again, every code error has a different solution. Make sure to check your manual if these solutions don’t work, however, for most systems, this should resolve the problem.

#iC0

A simple solution is to press the power button; alternatively you can turn the power off at the breaker box for five minutes.

This will likely clear the error code, at which point you can restart the dishwasher.

Alternatively, you can try unplugging the dishwasher for 10 seconds to 1-minute and plugging it back in.

If it runs, it’s likely just a glitch that triggered the code. If not, this might indicate you need to replace the control panel.

If these solutions don’t work, you might have to contact a service technician to replace or repair the current control board.

#i20, i40, iFO

To repair this issue, you will

• Check and clean filters
• Clean the sump area
• Check for pinched, kinked, or blocked hoses
• Check to see the plug hasn’t been knocked out (if connected to a disposer)

Further inspect drain lines, hoses, drain pumps, and pressure switches. Clean all parts as necessary to remove blockage or obstructions.

#i30

You’ll first look for loose connections at the water inlet valve to ensure the unit is properly leveled when you see this error.

Look for potential leaks in the water fill valve and inspect the drain pump for blocks or clogging. If parts are damaged, rusted, or otherwise defective, they’ll have to be replaced.

#Er-03

Conduct an inspection of the wash motor wiring and also inspect the motor. Look for blockages. If nothing appears defective, replace the wash motor in your dishwasher.

If it has to be replaced, this is a job you’ll want to call a licensed Electrolux repair technician to perform for you.

LOC

With this final error, you’ll want to start by pressing/holding the AIR button for a minimum of 3 to 5 seconds while the door is latched shut.

With most lock issues, this will unhinge the door and pop it open.

At this point, you can restart/reselect your wash cycle. If it doesn’t unlatch the door, there might be a blockage or obstruction or something broke/jammed in the hinge.

Don’t attempt to force it open. Again, this might require a call to a professional technician in the event a part/replacement is necessary in some cases.

Regardless of the Electrolux dishwasher error codes you’re seeing, don’t fret.

Don’t immediately call a repair technician, who will open up your machine, and charge you an absurd amount of money, especially when they know it’s often as easy as unplugging and plugging the machine back in.

Try these resolutions first. If they don’t remedy the problem, check the manual for your specific dishwasher model.

If, at this point, the error persists, consider calling Electrolux to find a licensed repair technician in your area.
