Know Your Electrolux Washer
How Electrolux Washers Are Built
The washer can detect hot and cold inlet hoses connected backward and shows HO SE until they are swapped; reversed lines are also listed as a cause of long-fill and long-drain codes. Source: Electrolux - Front loading washer Error Code HO SE reversed hose detection
The control board watches a door switch and a door lock: E41 means it reads the door as open, while E42 means the lock itself is not being recognized, so a tech checks the latch, striker and lock assembly. Source: Electrolux - Front loading washer Error Code E42 door lock device failure
What Electrolux Says to Check First
- Washer not filling. Leave the unit powered through the temporary lockout, then check that hot and cold lines are not swapped and the water supply meets the guide's requirements. Source: Electrolux - Front loading washer Error Code E11 long fill time
- Washer draining slowly. Clear kinks or clogs in the drain hose, check standpipe height and diameter, loosen any airtight tape seal, and avoid overdosing detergent. Source: Electrolux - What should I do if my washer is draining slowly?
