Common Electrolux washer error codes
Electrolux washers use a structured code format — the first character identifies the system, the second identifies the specific fault. Here's what we see most often.
Water fill system — E10 points to supply issues, E11 to a fill timeout, E13 to a detected leak.
Drain system faults — usually a blocked hose, drain pump, or drain filter. Check the hose for kinks first.
The door isn't detected as closed — often an overloaded drum or clothing caught in the door seal.
Different from E40 — the door is closed but the lock mechanism can't confirm it's engaged. Listen for clicking without an actual lock.
Electrolux and Frigidaire share the same refrigeration platform, so causes overlap — see our Frigidaire repair page for the shared alarm code details.
E03 often points to a water-related fault, while PF signals a power interruption — usually clears with a reset unless it recurs.

Yes — E40 means the door isn't detected as closed, while E41 means the door is closed but the internal lock mechanism can't confirm it's engaged, usually a worn part.
It can, depending on your specific warranty terms. Having a professional handle the repair keeps documentation clean if warranty coverage matters to you.
Electrolux tends to include more premium features like SmartBoost and Perfect Steam, which can mean slightly higher part costs — we'll always quote clearly before any work.
Yes, and when they do, it often points to a single root cause rather than several separate failures — worth mentioning all codes you've seen when you call.
