What Makes Electrolux Washer Repairs Different
Water level is monitored by a pressure sensor, which raises E35 when it reads an overfill condition. Source: Electrolux - Front loading washer Error Code E35 pressure sensor indicates water overfill
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
- 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
- Washer not draining. Straighten any kinked drain hose first, then confirm the hot and cold supply lines are not reversed and the drain hose is installed per the manual. Source: Electrolux - Front loading washer Error Code E21 long pump out time

What Fairmont Owners Should Know
Most washer calls in Fairmont 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.
Minnesota has no state license for mechanical contractors or their workers; businesses contracting for gas, heating, cooling or refrigeration work file a mechanical contractor bond with the Department of Labor and Industry, and some cities require their own licenses or competency cards.

In Minnesota, you can check a license with the DLI License and Registration Lookup or report a problem to the Minnesota Attorney General's Office, Consumer Assistance.
