How to Fix Electrolux Washer Error C8
Error Code: C8 Difficulty: Hard

Problem: Temperature sensor problem.

How to Fix C8 Error (Step-by-Step)
1. Ensure your safety by unplugging the washer from the electrical outlet and turning off both the hot and cold water supply valves.
2. Depending on your model, you will need to access the rear of the machine. Remove the screws holding the rear access panel in place and set the panel aside.
3. Look for the heating element, which is a metal component near the bottom of the washtub. The temperature sensor, a small plastic probe with wires, is mounted directly on this heating element.
4. Carefully disconnect the wire harness attached to the sensor. There may be a small clip you need to press to release the connector.
5. The sensor is typically held in place by a locking tab or a snug rubber grommet. Gently pry the old sensor out of its mounting hole on the heating element.
6. Firmly press the new temperature sensor into the empty slot until it is securely seated. Reconnect the wire harness, ensuring it clicks into place.
7. Reattach the rear access panel with its screws. Turn the water supply back on, plug the washer in, and run a test cycle to confirm the C8 error is gone.
8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
