Electrolux Washer Error Codes — Complete List

Electrolux front-load washers group their codes by number: E11 is a slow fill and E13 a leak, E21 a slow drain, E31 and E35 the water-level sensor family, E41 and E42 the door, and E52 and E54 the motor circuit. SU dS is the too-many-suds message rather than a fault.

• E11 E11 appears when the wash phase tries to fill but can't reach the right water level in time — water is arriving, just too slowly, or not at all.
• E13 E13 is the washer's leak alarm — it senses water where it shouldn't be, usually in or under the tub area, and stops the cycle to protect the electronics.
• E21 E21 appears when the pump-out phase runs longer than the washer allows; water is still leaving the tub, just not fast enough.
• E31 E31 points to the electronic pressure switch — the part that tells the washer how full the tub is — and the control board is rejecting its signal.
• E35 E35 is the washer's 'too much water' alarm — the pressure sensor says the tub is overfilled, and the washer drops into a safety drain.
• E41 E41 is a door-signal fault: the washer thinks the door is open. Usually the door just isn't fully latched — sometimes the switch itself has failed.
• E42 E42 is the washer's way of saying it can't confirm the door is locked — the mechanism isn't registering, so cycles won't run.
• E52 E52 is a speed-sensor warning: the washer isn't hearing from the motor's tachometer, so it can't be sure the drum is spinning safely and stops.
• E54 E54 means the motor relay on the control board isn't switching off cleanly — Electrolux's service manual lists it as motor relay contacts sticking, a board-level fault rather than anything in the load.
• SU dS SU dS is the oversudsing alarm — too much soap, or the wrong soap, and the washer keeps rinsing until the foam clears.
