How to Fix Electrolux Washer Error E12

Error Code: E12 Difficulty: Moderate

Problem: The washer is not filling with water during the rinse phase.

How to Fix E12 Error (Step-by-Step)

1. Since rinses often use cold water, first ensure the cold water faucet is fully open and the hose is not kinked.
2. Unplug the washer and turn off the water. Disconnect the cold water hose from the washer and check the inlet screen for debris. Clean it if necessary.
3. Remove the soap dispenser drawer completely and clean it thoroughly, paying special attention to the fabric softener and bleach compartments, as a clog here can disrupt water flow during the rinse cycle.
4. Inspect the dispenser housing inside the machine for any blockages or buildup.
5. If all external checks are clear, the issue may be with the cold water solenoid on the water inlet valve or the dispenser actuator.
6. Access the inlet valve and dispenser assembly by removing the top panel of the washer. Test or replace the suspected faulty component.
7. Reassemble the machine, restore power and water, and test the rinse cycle.
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.
