How to Fix Electrolux Washer Error E08

Error Code: E08 Difficulty: Hard

Problem: Heating error or defective heater.

How to Fix E08 Error (Step-by-Step)

1. Completely disconnect the washer from the wall outlet and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
2. You will need to access the heating element, which is located at the bottom of the outer tub. This typically requires removing the front or rear service panel of the washer.
3. Once you have access, carefully disconnect the two wires attached to the heating element terminals.
4. Use a multimeter to test the element for continuity. Set the multimeter to the Ohms setting; a reading between 10-30 Ohms is normal. An infinite reading indicates the element is broken and needs replacement.
5. To replace the element, loosen the nut in the center of its base and pull the old element out. This may require some force as it is sealed with a rubber gasket.
6. Insert the new heating element, making sure the gasket is seated properly to prevent leaks. Tighten the nut to secure it.
7. Reconnect the wires, reattach the service panel, and run a wash cycle with a hot water setting to confirm the repair.
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.
