E5H
The E5H error code on Electrolux washing machines often points towards a problem with the motor inverter board. Different models have varying interpretations and solutions for this error.
Possible Causes for E5H Error:
- Faulty Inverter Board:
- This is the most common interpretation. The board itself might be malfunctioning and unable to control the motor properly.
- Wiring or Connection Issue:
- Damaged or loose wiring between the inverter board, motor, and control board can disrupt communication and cause the error.
- Motor Issue:
- In rare cases, the E5H error might indicate a problem with the motor itself, even though the inverter board is displaying the error.
