Why won't the dishwasher turn on?

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 water heating

The i60 designation makes it clear that one of several problems is possible:

• The heating element has failed;
• the temperature sensor is faulty;
• the cable wiring coming from the computer is damaged;
• The control triac in the control unit does not work;
• the circulation pump is broken;
• There is too little liquid in the reservoir.

If you have the skills to work with tools, you can replace the heating element or thermistor with your own hands. But troubleshooting wiring and ECU problems is best left to an experienced specialist. A malfunction of the thermistor is indicated by the i70 combination on the dishwasher display.

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.

Elimination of breakdowns associated with blockages, collection and drainage of water

Possible reasons for the i10 error to appear are as follows:

• there is no water in the water supply or the ball valve for its supply is closed at the inlet;
• the inlet filter is clogged with debris;
• the inlet hose has become kinked;
• the inlet valve does not open.

To eliminate the damage, check the presence of water in the water supply and the condition of the above parts. The filter needs to be cleaned, the hose needs to be straightened. It is easy to purchase and replace the fill valve yourself, or call a specialist to diagnose and repair the part.

Error i20 in an Electrolux dishwasher indicates that one of the following problems has occurred:

• the drain filter is clogged;
• the impeller of the drain pump is blocked by debris;
• a blockage has formed in the drain pipe or hose;
• The water level sensor in the tank does not work.

Filter element in Electrolux dishwashers

First of all, you need to clear the filter of debris, then check to see if the pump impeller is jammed with broken dishes or debris. To do this, remove the pump cover located under the filter. A kink in the drain hose is also easy to fix. If the above steps are completed and the water still does not drain, you will have to replace the pressure switch.

The alphanumeric combination i30 on the display indicates the activation of the Aquastop system. Possible causes are damage to the tank, one of the pipes, hoses or their connections. In this case, the inlet solenoid valve immediately shuts off the water supply to avoid flooding. It may be necessary to completely disassemble the PMM for repairs, so it is better to call a specialist to your home.

IF0 is another Electrolux dishwasher fault code, informing the user that water is being drawn into the reservoir very slowly. In this case, the machine will wash tableware with less liquid. Eliminating such an error is simple - after the wash cycle, drain the water, add it again, and the emergency coding will disappear.

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.

Electrolux dishwasher error codes

Using error codes, you can independently identify the malfunction and make a decision - contact service for repairs or try to repair the equipment yourself.

We remind you that an error does not always mean a malfunction, most often it is just a reminder that there is no salt or detergent in the dispenser.

This list is complete, but if your mistake is not here, contact the hotline, they will definitely help you.

Error i10

(LED signal – 1 blink) – no water supply. The pressure switch did not receive data on the threshold water level within one minute.

• Check the drain and inlet hoses.
• Clean the inlet hose filter.
• Replace the inlet hose if it is damaged or kinked.

Error i20

(LED signal – 2 flashes) – no water draining. The error means that the drain pump relay did not work. This may happen for the following reasons:

• The drain system is clogged.
• Drain pump failure.
• Electronic unit malfunction.
• The pressure switch has failed.

Error i30

(LED signal – 3 flashes) – the dishwasher is overfilling with water. This error means that the overfill protection system is turned on. Causes:

• The occurrence of a leak.
• Triggering of the Aquastop valve
• The pan has filled with water.

Error i50

(LED signal – 5 flashes) – a short circuit has occurred in the circulation pump. At the same time, the pump begins to operate at increased speed, which leads to the stop of the washing program.

Error i60

(LED signal – 6 flashes) – water heating does not work. There may be several reasons:

• The heating element (heating element) burned out.
• Open circuit in the heating system power supply.
• Temperature sensor malfunction.
• Control module malfunction.
• Circulation pump failure.
• The thermostat has failed.

Error i70

(LED signal – 7 flashes) – the thermistor NTC temperature sensor is faulty. Most often the error appears at the end of the wash cycle. Moreover, the entire program worked without heating the water.

Error i80

(LED signal – 8 flashes) – faulty EEPROM memory. Damage to the firmware memory cell. May require flashing or replacing the control board. This is a critical error.

Error i90

(LED signal – 9 blinks) – MD5 checksum error of the software shell.
Indicates that program selection is not possible due to a discrepancy between the hash checksum and the stored memory in the power-saving cell.
Error iA0

(LED signal – 10 flashes) – blocking of the sprinkler device. An error may occur if the spray arm is faulty or its operation is blocked by dishes.

Error ib0

(LED signal – 11 flashes) – the water transparency sensor does not respond. If 15 seconds after rinsing the dishes the sensor does not start working, the dishwasher will display this error. The sensor needs to be calibrated or repaired.

Error iC0

(LED signal – 12 blinks) – there is no connection between the display module and the control module. Communication may be lost due to a faulty mechanical noise filter. Wait 10 minutes, if the connection is not restored, contact the service center.

iD0 error

(LED signal – 13 blinks) – the tachogenerator of the circulation pump is faulty. If this malfunction occurs, the pump stops working and, accordingly, the water does not heat up. The tachogenerator is changed separately from the pump.

Error if0

(LED signal – 14 flashes) – water supply time exceeded. Most likely the fill valve is faulty. The actions are the same as for error i10.

There are other errors that are not included in this list. Their decoding can be obtained in the service book or from our specialists by phone.

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.

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.
