The Swedish company Electrolux has firmly established itself in the market of various household appliances. One of the representatives of kitchen appliances produced by Electrolux is a dishwasher. The company constantly introduces innovations into the design of dishwashers to improve and facilitate the process of washing dishes. However, as with any appliance, various types of damage can occur with Electrolux dishwashers. To make it easier to identify the causes of breakdowns, manufacturers used error codes for Electrolux dishwashers. The codes are displayed on the monitor and inform the user about the nature of the breakdown. IN dishwashers Electrolux without displays, the type of error is indicated by a flashing indicator light.
Errors with water heating
Error i60 or the indicator blinks six times. This means that a violation has occurred in the heating system. Electrolux dishwasher does not heat water at all or overheats.
There may be several reasons:
- heating elements (heating elements) burned out;
- damage in electrical wiring;
- malfunction of the temperature sensor (thermostat);
- lack of water to the required level, malfunction of the level sensor;
- malfunctions in the circulation pump or control board.
Remedy:
- The serviceability of heaters and electrical wiring (insulation resistance, contacts) is checked. If necessary Heating elements are replaced;
- The thermostat is diagnosed;
- the functionality of the circulation pump is checked;
- the state of the control circuit is assessed.
To identify the listed faults and eliminate them, it is better to involve a specialist. Incompetent intervention in these systems can only harm the Electrolux dishwasher.
Error i70 or the indicator blinks seven times. Error in the heating control system. Most often this happens due to a malfunction of the heating element thermistor. The cause may be a short circuit in the electrical circuit or damage to the thermistor itself.
Intake and drainage errors
These are the most common errors. They can occur in any Electrolux dishwashers. Most often they arise for two reasons: if, when installing the machine, it was incorrectly connected to the water supply or sewerage system or the operating rules were violated.
Error i30 or the indicator blinks three times. This code notifies you when a leak occurs. Often this breakdown occurs when water gets into the pan. At the same time, the Aqua-stop float system is activated and the water supply shutoff valve is activated.
Water may get into the tray if the seal of the Electrolux dishwasher is broken.
Recommendations for elimination:
- drain the water from the pan;
- Check the drain pump for leaks. If this is the reason, then you should call a technician to replace it;
- check the storage tank, hoses and connections, seals and cuffs, as well as the doors, tray, pipes and hopper for leaks;
- Set the float to the “water” position and start the dishwasher.
Error iF0 or indicator blinking 14 times. This means that the filling mode exceeds the set time.
Causes:
- there was a displacement of the dishes in the loading chamber, which led to a lack of water;
- the intake filter is clogged;
- too much foam has formed from the detergent;
- malfunction of the pressure switch or its circuit.
Solutions:
- stop dishwasher and organize the dishes in the loading chamber;
- remove and clean the filler filter;
- replace detergent with less intensive foam formation;
- check the pressure switch and its electrical circuit.
Errors caused by blockages
Error i10 or the indicator blinks once with a five-second delay. The code that appears on the screen indicates that the fence mode has been violated.
If the code message does not disappear within one minute, this means that one of the following failures may occur:
- The water supply tap is closed or the pressure is low;
- problems with the intake hose. It may be contaminated with debris, pinched or improperly connected;
- the cleaning filter or electric valve of the network water is clogged.
To troubleshoot problems, you must do the following:
- check the presence of water in the system and open the water supply tap;
- check the serviceability of the inlet valve;
- remove and clean the network filter mesh;
- make sure that the hose is not kinked or pinched by anything.
Error i20 or the indicator blinks twice. The appearance of this code means that the Electrolux dishwasher has a problem with water drainage.
If it is not possible to drain the water within the time specified in the instructions, then it is possible:
- the drain cleaning filter is clogged;
- damaged drainage pump (pump);
- the drain hose is pinched;
- problems with the level sensor.
Recommendations for elimination are as follows:
- remove and clear the drain filter and hose from blockages;
- Check the rotation of the drainage pump impeller. If necessary, clean it from food debris and other contaminants;
- check the drain hose for kinks and pinches;
- check the serviceability of the pressure switch.
Errors related to sensor operation
Error iB0 or indicator blinking 11 times. This code indicates that the transparency sensor is damaged. Possible reasons:
- the sensor is dirty;
- the level relay does not function;
- The drainage system is clogged.
Solutions:
- clean the loading chamber and sensor;
- Perform routine maintenance specified in error i20.
If the breakdown persists, the turbidity control sensor must be replaced.
Error iD0 or indicator blinking 13 times. Violation in the engine speed control control system circulation pump (problems with the tachogenrator). The water does not heat up. Possible reasons:
- break in the electrical circuit of the sensor or loose contact connections;
- the capacitor in the engine starting circuit burned out;
- due to loosening of the sensor, vibration appeared;
- damage in the tachogenerator itself.
Solutions:
- the electrical circuit is checked and the resistance of the contact connections is measured;
- the sensor mount is restored;
- the capacitor is replaced;
- if necessary, the tachogenerator is replaced.
Errors related to the operation of electronics
Error i50 or the indicator flashes five times.Reports a malfunction in the circuit of the controlled switch (triac), which controls the operation of the circulation pump. Possible causes:
- the appearance of pulsating voltage in the power supply network;
- installation of a defective thyristor;
- exceeding the signal level coming from the control board.
To eliminate the malfunction, first diagnose the control board and thyristor. Based on the results, decide on repair or replacement. It is better to entrust the repair to service center specialists.
Error i80 or eight-fold blinking of the indicator. Error in the operation of the EEPROM non-volatile memory module. This can occur due to a firmware error or damage to the control module circuit. To determine the nature of the damage, you should check the electrical connection between the processor and the memory module, as well as the presence of power supply to the board. In this case, we are talking about malfunctions of the system board, so it is recommended to invite service center specialists.
Error i90 or nine-fold blinking of the indicator. With this error, a situation arises in which it is impossible to select any washing function. Only the "Start-Stop" button lights up. This happens when there are malfunctions in the MCF or CCF electronic control board. The main reason may be a firmware violation. The malfunction can only be fixed by service center specialists.
Error iA0 or 10-fold blinking of the indicator. Error in the water spray system. This situation usually occurs when the rocker arm stops rotating. Reasons:
- Dishes are incorrectly placed in the loading chamber;
- The speed sensor circuit is broken;
- The speed sensor is damaged;
- Malfunctions in the control controller.
If this breakdown occurs, you should first check the placement of the dishes in the chamber. If after these steps the dishwasher still does not work, you need to contact a service center.
Error iС0 or indicator blinks 12 times. There is no electrical connection between the user display board and the control panel. Main reasons:
- broken wiring;
- violation in contact connections;
- damage to the monitor board.
Conclusion
All possible damage dishwashers Electrolux can be divided into three categories of complexity:
- The first category is minor repairs. Breakdowns are fixed by the users themselves. This includes cleaning clogged components, bending hoses, cleaning filters and other minor work;
- the second category is medium repair. This is the replacement of small parts (buttons, filters, pumps);
- the third category is professional repair. This type of repair is used when it is necessary to carry out diagnostic work on electrical and electronic circuits, replace main parts, flash firmware and adjust electronic circuits.
