E12

The E12 error code on Electrolux washing machines generally indicates an issue with water not filling during the rinse cycle. While the reason could vary depending on your specific model, here are common causes and troubleshooting steps:

Possible Causes of error 12:

  • Closed water tap: 
    • Ensure both hot and cold water taps are fully open, as even a partially closed tap can restrict water flow during the rinse cycle.
  • Clogged inlet hoses: 
    • Debris buildup in the hoses can prevent water from reaching the machine. Check for kinks or blockages near the machine and the water source.
  • Clogged inlet valve filters: 
    • Filters on the inlet valves can trap debris, hindering water intake. 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, preventing water flow during the rinse cycle.
  • Defective water level sensor: 
    • If the sensor fails to detect the correct water level during the rinse cycle, it can trigger the E12 error.

Troubleshooting the E12 error code in Electrolux Washing Machine

  1. Identify Your Model: Accurately identifying your specific Electrolux washing machine model is crucial. This information is usually located on a label on the back of the machine or in your user manual.
  2. Consult the User Manual: With your model number, refer to the Electrolux user manual for specific troubleshooting steps related to the E12 error code. It will provide detailed instructions based on your machine's design.
  3. General Troubleshooting (Safety First): Always unplug the machine before any troubleshooting! Here are some general steps you can try:
    • Check water taps: Ensure both hot and cold taps are fully open.
    • Inspect inlet hoses: Visually check for any kinks or blockages in the inlet hoses. Straighten them out if necessary.
    • Clean inlet valve filters: Refer to your Electrolux manual for specific instructions on cleaning these filters.
    • Restart the machine: Sometimes, a simple restart can clear the error. Turn off the washer, wait a few minutes, and then restart it.

If the Error Persists:

  • Contact Electrolux Support: If the error remains after trying these steps, it's recommended to contact Electrolux support for further assistance. They can offer model-specific advice and potentially arrange for a qualified technician to diagnose and repair the issue.

Important Notes:

  • Do not attempt repairs yourself: Unless you have electrical and appliance repair expertise, avoid DIY fixes. Incorrect repairs can worsen the problem and pose safety risks.

Remember, it's crucial to identify your specific model for the most accurate diagnosis and troubleshooting steps. I hope this information helps!
