🌀 Electrolux washer displays E01 error (drain error)

Step-by-step troubleshooting guide — 5 steps, Washer.

🔧 Troubleshooting Steps

  1. Clean the drain pump filter. Electrolux has a filter at the bottom front — remove the cap, drain water, clear debris
    ✓ Expected: Filter clean
  2. Check the drain hose routing — no higher than 96 inches, no kinks
    ✓ Expected: Hose properly routed
  3. If E01 persists, check the drain pump. Electrolux uses a sealed pump — if the impeller is broken or the motor is seized, replace the pump
    ✓ Expected: Pump runs, water drains
  4. Check the pressure switch (water level sensor) on the top of the tub
    ✓ Expected: Diaphragm free
  5. If all above check out, the control board's drain pump relay may be failing
    ✓ Expected: Control board relay functional
