What to Check Next on This Electrolux Dishwasher Focused repair path: dishwasher fill, drain, wash, heat, latch, sensor, and control checks. Do not treat the fault as reset-only if it keeps returning; use the failed function to choose the next test. Disconnect power before opening panels, then confirm whether the Electrolux dishwasher repeats the same code after a clean reset. Match the symptom to the part of the cycle or function that fails: fill, drain, heat, cool, spin, latch, ignite, fan, sensor, or control response. Inspect simple causes first: airflow, water supply, drain path, door closure, filter, venting, wiring connectors, and visible damage. Use meter testing or service diagnostics before replacing electronic controls, because wiring, switches, sensors, and loads can mimic board failure. Use the complete Electrolux dishwasher model number from the appliance tag before ordering any model-specific part. Check, inspect, clean, test, measure, remove, reconnect, clear, and replace parts only when the symptom supports that path. If these checks point toward a part, verify the complete Electrolux model number from the appliance tag before ordering.

If the code comes back

Do not keep replacing parts based only on the code. Repeat the safe checks above. If the fault remains, stop and arrange qualified service rather than ordering from the code alone.

What may be causing it?

  • The anti-flood device has been activated due to a detected leak in the base of the appliance.
