How to Fix Electrolux Washer Error E05

Error Code: E05 Difficulty: Moderate

Problem: High water temperature.

How to Fix E05 Error (Step-by-Step)

1. Unplug the washer from the electrical outlet to ensure safety.
2. Turn off both the hot and cold water supply valves connected to the washer.
3. Locate the temperature sensor (thermistor), which is typically found near the heating element at the base of the wash tub. You may need to remove a front or rear access panel.
4. Disconnect the wire harness from the sensor. Use a multimeter set to Ohms to test the sensor’s resistance. A healthy sensor will show a reading that changes with temperature; an infinite reading or no reading indicates a faulty sensor.
5. If the sensor is faulty, remove it from the tub. It is often held in place by a rubber grommet.
6. Install the new temperature sensor, ensuring the grommet creates a watertight seal.
7. Reconnect the wire harness, reassemble any panels you removed, and restore power and water to the washer before testing.
8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
