Possible Causes for E57 Error:

• High Current on Inverter: This is the most common explanation for the E57 error. The inverter might be detecting an abnormally high current draw from the motor, indicating potential issues like:
  • Jammed motor: If the drum or motor is jammed by debris or a foreign object, it can cause high current draw and trigger the E57 error.
  • Faulty motor bearings: Worn-out or damaged motor bearings can increase friction and lead to higher current draw.
  • Defective motor windings: Internal issues within the motor windings can cause abnormal current flow.
• Faulty Inverter Module: 
  • In some cases, the inverter module itself might be malfunctioning, leading to incorrect control of the motor and the E57 error.
• Control Board Issue: 
  • Less commonly, the main control board might be misinterpreting sensor readings or sending incorrect signals to the inverter module, causing the E57 error.

Troubleshooting the E57 error code in Electrolux Washing Machine

Safety First! Unplug the machine

1. Identify Your Model: 
   • Locate the model number on a label on the back of your machine or in your user manual.
2. Consult the User Manual: 
   • Refer to your user manual for specific instructions related to the E57 error code and troubleshooting steps for your specific model. This will offer the most accurate information based on your machine's design.
3. Restart the Machine: 
   • Sometimes, a simple restart can clear the error. Wait a few minutes after unplugging before restarting.
4. Check for Blockages: 
   • Ensure there are no blockages in the drain hose or pump that might be putting extra strain on the motor and causing high current draw.
5. Visually Inspect (if comfortable): 
   • If you're comfortable doing so, visually inspect the motor and surrounding area for any visible signs of damage or debris that could be causing jamming.

Important Notes:

• Avoid DIY Repairs: Unless you have expertise in electrical and appliance repair, especially with high-voltage components like the inverter and motor, avoid DIY fixes. Incorrect repairs can worsen the problem and pose safety risks.
• Seek Professional Help: If the error persists after trying these steps or you're uncomfortable troubleshooting yourself, it's highly recommended to contact Electrolux support. They can provide model-specific guidance and potentially arrange for a qualified technician to diagnose and repair the issue safely.
