When your Electrolux dishwasher starts acting up, the first thing you might notice is an error code flashing on the control panel. These codes are designed to help you quickly identify the problem and, hopefully, find a solution without having to immediately call a technician. However, understanding what each code means can be a bit confusing if you’re not familiar with them.

At codigodeerror.com, we want to make your life a little easier. That’s why we’ve compiled a comprehensive list of the most common error codes you might encounter with your Electrolux dishwasher, along with a description of each issue, its likely cause, and most importantly, how you can try to fix it yourself.

Before we dive into the table, it’s important to understand that error codes are essentially messages from your dishwasher indicating that something isn’t working as it should. Some issues may be simple and easy to fix, like making sure the door is properly closed, while others may require a more detailed inspection or the help of a professional.

Electrolux Dishwasher Error Codes Table

Error	Description	Cause	Solution
iC0	Potential problem with the main control board	Refers to a communication error between the control board and the rest of the dishwasher. This prevents the dishwasher from starting a load.	To fix it, unplug your dishwasher for 10 seconds, then plug it back in and try to run a cycle. If the code returns, the main control will need to be replaced.

iC3	Potential problem with the main control board	Refers to a communication error between the control board and the rest of the dishwasher. This prevents the dishwasher from starting a load.

Error 06	Lower fan failure		Turn off the dishwasher’s power and check the wiring of the lower fan. If the wiring is fine, replace the lower fan.
Error 12	Drain valve position error	The drain valve was activated when it should have been off.	Disconnect the dishwasher, check the drain valve wiring for a short. If the wiring is fine, replace the electronic control board because the drain valve relay is likely stuck. If the problem continues, replace the drain valve.
Error 20	Problem with the drainage system	This code can appear as 20 or i20, but both refer to the same issue. If there’s a blockage in your dishwasher’s drain line, or if the unit’s drain pump is clogged, this can trigger an i20 error code.	This error can also be due to a communication error, so unplug the dishwasher and then plug it back in. If the code is still there, inspect the drain line, drain pump, or pressure switch and clean or replace parts as necessary.
Error 30	Leak problem	This code is activated by the dishwasher’s leak detection system. Unfortunately, the leak can come from multiple areas, so you’ll have to investigate.	Start by inspecting the drain pump for obstructions or blockages. Turn the impeller by hand to make sure it works. Also, inspect the water fill valve for potential leaks. Finally, clean or replace defective parts as necessary.
Error Er-03	Washing motor defective	The only way this code will appear is if the washing motor has failed or is obstructed during operation.	Inspect the washing motor’s wiring and the motor itself. Remove any blockage, but if everything seems fine, replace the washing motor with the help of a repair technician.
Error LOC	Dishwasher door lock	If your Electrolux dishwasher’s door is closed and won’t open, this code will appear. You won’t be able to run a cycle without unlocking the door.	Hold down the AIR DRY button on the control panel for at least 3 seconds while the door is closed. This should unlock the door or activate the control panel for use again.
Error i50	Short circuit in the circulation pump	As a result of this error, the circulation pump begins to operate at uncontrolled maximum revolutions, interrupting the wash.	To fix it, you need to replace the triac on the control board.
Error i70	Thermistor malfunction	This leads to washing dishes with cold water.	Install a new thermistor which will correct this situation.
Error i80	Memory control module problem		The problem is resolved with the flash module or replacing it with a new one.
i30	Leak problem	This code is activated by the dishwasher’s leak detection system. Unfortunately, the leak can come from multiple areas, so you’ll have to investigate.	Start by inspecting the drain pump for obstructions or blockages. Turn the impeller by hand to make sure it works. Also, inspect the water fill valve for potential leaks. Finally, clean or replace defective parts as necessary.
