E5E
The E5E error code on Electrolux washing machines typically indicates a communication issue between the main control board and the motor control board. However, as with other codes, the specific meaning and troubleshooting steps can vary significantly depending on your model.
Possible Causes of E5E Error:
- Faulty Wiring:
- Damaged or loose wiring between the control boards and the motor control board can disrupt communication, leading to the E5E error.
- Connection Issue:
- Poor connections between the boards, even if the wiring appears intact, can also cause communication problems.
- Faulty Control Board:
- In some cases, one of the control boards (main or motor) might be malfunctioning and unable to send or receive signals correctly.
- Software Glitch: In rare instances, a software glitch in either board could be causing the communication issue.
