E5d
The E5d error code on Electrolux washing machines generally indicates a communication issue between the inverter board and the main control board. Different models can have various interpretations and solutions for the same error code.
Possible Causes of E5d Error:
- Faulty Wiring:
- Damaged or loose wiring between the inverter board and the main control board can disrupt communication, leading to the E5d error.
