How to Fix Electrolux Washer Error E60

Error Code: E60 Difficulty: Hard

Problem: Heating Error – Washer not heating water or taking too long to heat.

How to Fix E60 Error (Step-by-Step)

1. Unplug the washer and turn off the water supply and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
2. Drain any water from the tub. You may need to use the drain pump filter or a siphon.
3. Locate the heating element at the bottom of the outer tub. It is often accessible from the front or back of the machine by removing a lower panel.
4. Disconnect the wires from the heating element. Use a multimeter set to continuity or resistance (ohms) to test the element. A reading of infinity indicates the element is broken and needs replacement.
5. Locate the water temperature sensor, known as a thermistor, which is usually mounted near the heating element. Test its resistance with a multimeter; if it shows an open or shorted circuit, it must be replaced.
6. If both the element and thermistor test correctly, inspect the wiring between these components and the main control board for any breaks or damage.
7. If all other components are functional, the relay that controls the heating circuit on the main control board has failed, and the entire board will need to be replaced.
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.
