When the Electrolux dishwasher gives an I10 error, the END indicator may additionally flash – once with a break of a few seconds. What does it mean? The cause of the code on the display is problems with draining or collecting water. The self-diagnosis system determines the type of problem and displays icons on the display. Deciphering their meaning will help determine the location of the malfunction. How to fix the situation and return the dishwasher to working capacity, read below.
What to do to fix the error code
You may have incorrectly connected to the water supply or violated the operating rules. For example, before loading the Electrolux dishwasher, they forgot to clean the plates of food debris – the pieces got into the drain filter and clogged the system. Therefore, PMM may show error 10.
It is important to carry out preventive cleaning of the drain once or twice a month.
What to look for first:
- is the shut-off valve open;
- is there water in the tap;
- the correct location of the inlet hose (there should be no kinks).
If everything is in order, then try resetting the fault code. Maybe it’s just a system glitch:
- disconnect PMM from the network;
- wait 10-15 minutes;
- restart.
Is the error on the display again? Then start troubleshooting.
Do not confuse the meaning of the code. The English letter I is not the number 1.
Check suction hose and filter for blockage:
- turn off the water;
- unscrew the nut securing the hose to the PMM body;
- inspect it for debris, and also clean the flow filter.
Now you need to clean the drain system:
- Open the hopper door.
- Remove the dish basket.
- Below is a filter.
- Remove it from the seat and rinse under the pressure of water.
- Use a sponge to pump out the water from the container where the filter was located.
- Pull the cover towards you to expose the pump.
- Feel the impeller for blockage (previously wearing gloves). Maybe it’s blocked by a foreign object.
The drain pipe is also inspected and cleaned, the place of connection to the sewer is checked.
If everything is in order with the filling and drain systems, the pressure switch is diagnosed – its electronic part is called by a multimeter. In case of malfunction, the part must be replaced.
Knowing how to fix the breakdown, you can handle it on your own. The meanings of other Electrolux errors are analyzed by us in a separate article.
