How to determine the cause of the failure Electrolux washing machine

The acquisition of a washing machine is a crucial moment. It is extremely important pick a modelthat has all the features you need. In addition to the standard functions, the presence of a digital display that displays the error codes of washing machines can be attributed to the mandatory functions. Using them to determine the degree of damage to the device, for example, the brand "Electrolux" is not difficult.

Error categories

All error codes of Electrolux washing machines, depending on the reason for their formation, can be divided into 5 groups:

1. Errors related to the supply or discharge of water from the device.
2. Problems with closing the door.
3. Problems with wiring and contact details.
4. Problems with heating elements.
5. Software device errors.

Associated with the supply or discharge of water

This includes all error codes starting with 1.2 and 3.

Error E11 appears on the display of the machine if it does not have enough water to start the washing process. Such a situation arises, as a rule, in three cases:

• water tap is off;
• in the plumbing system weak pressure;
• clogged intake pipe.

Eliminate the malfunction can almost any member of the stronger sex.

In the event that water is collected in the washing machine tray in some way, which in principle should not be, the display shows code E13. When it is displayed, it is necessary to identify and eliminate the cause of the appearance of water. One of them may be clogged drain hose, which is enough to eliminate clean it.

E20 error notifies the user of a malfunction in the pump system or plum. Solving the problem begins with checking the correctness of connecting the device to the external drain. In the event that everything is connected correctly, and the error remains, you can resort to using an external hose that looks like a red tube.To solve the problem, it should be lowered into the water drain.

E21 code is highlighted in the case when the washing machine in the washing mode does not have time to drain the water (the drain process takes more than 10 minutes). The elimination of this error on its own is only possible if its cause is:

• clogged drain filter;
• clogged, kinked or misplaced drain hose.

Error E23 notifies of malfunction of the drain pump located on the electronic control unit of the simistra of the drain pump. There may be two reasons: part failure or wiring failure. If in the first case a replacement of the simistra is needed, then in the second case it is sufficient to repair the wiring.

Appearance on display E24 errors indicates a malfunction of the simistra circuit of the drain pump, which appears when the microprocessor produces incorrect signals or if the printed circuit board fails.

E31 code appears in case of failure of the pressure sensor. In this case, it can be completely broken as well as have faulty wiring, therefore, starting to identify the cause of the breakdown, start by checking the wiring.

Error E32, meaning no pressure sensor calibration, occurs in the following cases:

• if it bends, misplaces, or clogs the drain hose;
• at wear of the priming valve;
• if the tube breaks pressostat;
• at failure of the pressure sensor.

Since the first case is the simplest one that does not require a wizard call, it should start with finding out the cause of the error.

E33 code means inconsistency in the operation of the first level sensor and the TENA protection sensor. The reasons for this failure may be several:

• the integrity of the wiring is broken;
• breakage of one of the sensors;
• sensor tube clogging;
• water leakage on the body of the heating element;
• increased voltage in the mains.

To identify and eliminate the only true cause of the fault can only master.

E35 error appears on the display in case of overflow of water in the washing machine tank. It occurs when the overflow level switch is opened for more than 15 seconds. The solution to this problem is to verify and possibly replace the pressostat.

E36 code appears when the sensor of blocking of the heating element does not work when the water level in the machine is low.Troubleshooting is to check the sensor and replace it in the event of a breakdown.

E38 code occurs in case of clogging of the pressostat tube. To eliminate it, the tube is either cleaned or replaced.

If the display of the machine issues error E39, then the sensor reporting water overflow failed. The elimination of this malfunction consists in its repair or replacement.

Problems with closing the door

Error codes starting with the number 4 occur when there are any problems with the device door. So, error E41 It means that the door of the electrolux machine is not tightly closed or even completely open. To eliminate it, as a rule, it is only necessary to close the door correctly. If the user can handle the first error from this group on his own, then to solve other problems need a wizard call.

E42 code means malfunction door lock, but E43 - malfunction of the simistra responsible for blocking the hatch of the device. If you have problems with the sensor closing the hatch, the display shows code E44, and E45 indicates a malfunction of the electronic controller circuit.

Problems with wiring or contact details

This group of errors includes all codes starting with 5.Eliminate them yourself in most cases is impossible, and in some even dangerous. So, code 51 indicates the presence of a short circuit in the rider of the drive motor, and code 52 signals the absence of contact between the tachogenerator and the controller. If the problem is in the drive motor control circuit, then the display shows code E53, and if there are problems with the reverse relay code appears E54.

The solution to any problem in this group is to check and correct the wiring or replace the contacts.

Malfunction of heating elements

Errors in this group begin with the numbers 6.7. If the water for a certain period of time does not have time to heat up to the desired value, then this is the error under the number E61. As a rule, it is not displayed on the display of the machine. Can define it only in the diagnostic center. In the event that the water in the machine overheats (for 5 minutes it reaches a temperature of 88 ºС and higher), the code appears on the display E62. On the existing in the relay of the heating element problems, the machine notifies the display on the code display E66. Code E71 It is displayed in the presence of temperature sensor increased resistance indicators.

Device software errors

Codes starting with digits 8, 9 indicate various software errors of the device. For example, if the device chooses a wrong program or wash cycle, the display shows code E82, and in case of incorrect reading of the selected programs - code E83. The presence of an error in the device configuration notifies the code E93.

Conclusion

The listed error codes are suitable for most models of Electrolux washing machines. Knowing them by heart is not necessary. However, those codes that the user is able to fix on their own, it is desirable to know, so as not to waste time on the master’s call to the house.
