Electrolux Washer Lines and Features
What a Electrolux Washer Technician Deals With
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 drain standpipe should be no taller than 96 inches and at least 1-1/4 inches across, and a hose sealed airtight into the standpipe can slow draining. Source: Electrolux - What should I do if my washer is draining slowly?
What Electrolux Says to Check First
- Shaking, thumping or off balance. Confirm shipping bolts and foam were removed, level the washer on a solid floor, and redistribute or add a couple of similar items to an unbalanced load. Source: Electrolux - Laundry Washers Noises Guide
- Door won't lock / door error. Make sure the door shuts fully with nothing caught in it, listen for the latch click, and check the latch and striker. Source: Electrolux - Front loading washer Error Code E41 door is open

Local Notes for Somerville
Most washer calls in Somerville come down to the same handful of parts: the drain pump and filter, the lid switch or door lock, the drive belt or coupler, the inlet valve and the suspension.
Massachusetts does not issue a separate appliance repair license; running fuel gas piping to appliances and installing their vent piping is gas fitting work that requires a license from the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters.

In Massachusetts, you can check a license with the Massachusetts Division of Occupational Licensure eLIPSE license verification portal or report a problem to the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office, Consumer Advocacy and Response Division.
