How to Fix Electrolux Dishwasher Error B1

Error Code: B1 Difficulty: Moderate

Problem: The drain is not efficient.

How to Fix B1 Error (Step-by-Step)

1. Begin by checking the dishwasher’s drain filter, located at the bottom of the tub. Remove any food particles or debris that may have accumulated.
2. Inspect the drain hose for any kinks or clogs. The hose runs from the dishwasher to your sink’s drain or garbage disposal.
3. Ensure the garbage disposal is clear, as a blockage there can prevent the dishwasher from draining properly. Run the disposal to clear any obstructions.
4. Disconnect the power to the dishwasher at the circuit breaker.
5. If the drain hose is clear, the issue may be with the drain pump. You may need to access the pump to check for blockages or damage.
6. If the drain pump appears to be the problem, it will likely need to be replaced.
7. After checking these components, restore power and run a drain cycle to test if the error has been cleared.
8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

Still Not Working?
If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.
