Electrolux dishwasher repair specialists Electrolux dishwasher problems can include:
Electrolux dishwasher won’t start
For both integrated and freestanding appliances if your
dishwasher won’t start but the power is on this could be an issue with the door. If it won’t close securely the programme will effectively be disabled. The problem may be with the door latch, a loose screw under the counter that’s preventing the door from closing, or the plastic tub that has been installed incorrectly. If there’s no power the problem may be with the incoming power supply, a faulty switch or socket, a blown fuse or defective wiring. Bear in mind that the delay start function needs to be disabled and that any cycles that are still in progress will need to be cancelled before programming the next cycle.
Electrolux dishwasher beeping
If your
dishwasher beeps three times it indicates a leak, and water will collect at the bottom of your appliance. To avoid an overflow you should disconnect your appliance for the ware supply as soon as possible and call in a professional.
Electrolux dishwasher not draining
When water remains in the bottom of the tub indicating drainage issues these can be related to kinks or obstructions in the drain hose. Food clogs in the drain or sink will also cause your dishwasher not to drain properly, as will an incompleted cycle.
Electrolux dishwasher not filling
This could be due to a defective water inlet valve, or the inlet hose filter being blocked. The water source could be a problem so the tap will need to be checked to ensure that it’s open and the water is flowing freely. If the inlet hose is damaged it will need to be replaced.
Electrolux dishwasher not heating water
This problem can often be resolved by resetting your dishwasher. This involves unplugging the dishwasher, waiting for one minute and plugging it in again. However, if this doesn’t work there may be a more complex problem that will need help provided by an expert.
Electrolux dishwasher dishes aren’t clean
An obstructed spray arm will cause this problem as will blockages in the filter. Clogs in the strap arm will also affect the cleaning results. The detergent used could be causing problems if the valve regulating the supply is faulty, and a salt container that isn’t filled or the cap not secured could also be the culprits. Water in the supply system will need to be checked alongside the hose and filters for blockages, and the filling valve for serviceability.
Electrolux dishwasher troubleshooting lights flashing
When your Electrolux dishwasher lights flash it typically indicates that the heating element is failing. This results in the water that’s pumped into the appliance not getting heated to the preset temperature or not maintaining the required temperature.
