E10
The E10 error code on Electrolux washing machines can indicate several different issues depending on the specific model you have. However, it generally points towards problems related to the water system.
Possible Meanings of error E10:
- Insufficient Water Intake: The most common issue associated with E10 is not enough water entering the machine during the wash cycle. This could be due to:
- Closed or partially closed water tap: Ensure both hot and cold water taps are fully open.
- Clogged inlet hoses: Debris buildup in the hoses can restrict water flow. Check for kinks or blockages near the machine and the water source.
- Clogged inlet valve filters: Filters on the inlet valves can trap debris. Consult your Electrolux manual for instructions on locating and cleaning these filters.
- Faulty inlet valve: In rare cases, the inlet valve itself might be malfunctioning.
- Water Level Problems: In some models, E10 might indicate difficulties maintaining the desired water level. This could be caused by:
- Faulty pressure sensor: The sensor might not be accurately detecting the water level, leading to overfilling or underfilling.
- Leaking hose or connection: Leaks can prevent the machine from reaching the desired water level.
