i10: Water fill valve error
Causes:
The reasons for this problem can be multiple, such as:
- The water tap is closed.
- Low water pressure.
- clogged inlet valve.
- Faulty inlet valve wiring
- A faulty inlet valve.
- The drain hose is lower than 40cm above the appliance base.
- It can also happen due to a faulty pressure sensor or pressure sensor hose being obstructed, bent, or leaking, or the wiring of the pressure sensor being faulty.
- Faulty main PCB
Solutions:
- Open the water tap.
- Check the water pressure. The water pressure should be between 40 and 80 psi. If the water pressure is too low, it’s better to call a plumber.
- Clean the fill solenoid filter.
- The solenoid filter is located on the inlet valve.
- To clean the filter, remove the filter and rinse it with clean water.
- The solenoid filter is located on the inlet valve.
- Check the wiring harness between the main board and the water valve.
- Disconnect the wiring and check for any damage.
- If there is damage, repair or replace the wire harness.
- Disconnect the wiring and check for any damage.
- Check the resistance of the water valve using an ohmmeter.
- If the resistance is infinite, the water valve is faulty and needs to be replaced.
| Electric part name | Ohmic value |
|---|---|
| Inlet valve | 0.9 – 1.1 KΩ @ 120 Vac | 2.8 – 3.3 KΩ @ 220 Vac |
- Check the hydraulic circuit of the pressure sensor.
- Disconnect the hydraulic circuit and check for any leaks. If there are any leaks, repair or replace the hydraulic circuit.
- Check the pressure wiring harness.
- Disconnect the wiring and check for any damage. If there is damage, repair or replace the wire harness.
- If the error code still occurs after troubleshooting the above steps, consider replacing the main board.
i20: Water drainage error
The dishwasher fails to drain.
Causes:
The reasons for this problem can be multiple, such as:
- The drain hose should be straight and connected to the drain at a height of no more than 60 cm.
- If the hose is bent or the connection is too high, the water will not be able to drain properly.
- The drain hydraulic circuit is a series of pipes that allow the water to drain from the dishwasher.
- If the circuit is blocked, the water will not be able to drain properly.
- The wiring that connects the drain pump to the main board may be faulty.
- If the wiring is faulty, the drain pump will not be able to turn on.
- The drain pump may be faulty.
- If the drain pump is faulty, it will not be able to pump the water out of the appliance.
- The pressure sensor detects the level of water in the dishwasher.
- If the pressure sensor is faulty, it will not be able to tell the dishwasher when it has finished draining the water.
- Faulty main PCB
Solutions:
- Clean the drain pump filter. The drain pump filter is located at the bottom of the dishwasher. It catches food debris that can block the drain hose.
- To clean the filter, remove it from the dishwasher and rinse it under clean water.
- Check the wiring harness between the main board and drain pump and look for any breaks or frayed wires.
- If you find any damage, repair or replace the wire harness.
- Check the resistance of the drain pump using your multimeter.
- To check the resistance of the drain pump, use the multimeter to set the dial to the “ohms” setting. Then, touch the probes of the multimeter to the two terminals of the drain pump.
- If the resistance is not within the specified resistance range, the drain pump is faulty and needs to be replaced.
- To check the resistance of the drain pump, use the multimeter to set the dial to the “ohms” setting. Then, touch the probes of the multimeter to the two terminals of the drain pump.
| Electric part name | Ohmic value |
|---|---|
| Drain pump, single-phase | 15–18 Ω @ 120 Vac | 180–230 Ω @ 220 Vac |
| BLDC drain pump, three-phase | between U, V and W should be ~ 90 Ω |
- Check the pressure sensor.
- If the error code still occurs after troubleshooting the above steps, consider replacing the main board.
Recommendation:
To prevent drain problems in the future, be sure to regularly clean the drain pump filter and check the drain hose for any kinks or blockages.
You should also avoid overloading the dishwasher and using too much detergent. As noted in the Electrolux dishwasher instruction manual for users
i30 code: Water overflow error
The i30 error message is triggered by the aqua control system when water is detected in the bottom tray.
Causes:
- Leakage at the hose system
- a faulty inlet valve that cannot shut off the water.
- The inlet valve is responsible for supplying water to the dishwasher. If the inlet valve is faulty, it may not be able to shut off the water properly, leading to water accumulating in the bottom tray.
- A leak from the interior lamp or door gasket
- The door gasket seals the door of the appliance and prevents water from leaking out. If the door gasket is damaged or worn, it may not be able to seal the door properly, which can lead to water leaking out and accumulating in the bottom tray.
- A blocked floating sensor
- Faulty float microswitch
- Drainage problem.
- Faulty main PCB
Solutions:
- Check the drain pump filter to make sure it is clean.
- Check the water tank for blockages, leaks, or cracks.
- The hoses that connect the dishwasher to the water supply and drain can develop leaks over time. If you see any water dripping from the hoses, tighten the connections or replace the hoses.
- Check the float wiring harness connection.
- Visually inspect the float switch.
- Use a multimeter to check the float microswitch.
- If the error persists, consider replacing the main board.
