Electrolux Washing machine Error E5

What could be the meaning of error code E5 affecting your Electrolux washing machine?

Doesn't the Error Code E5 let you wash your clothes peacefully? Well, you've come to the right place to find a solution to this problem. So, don't miss out on anything we're going to teach you today, stay with us and keep reading! Because today we're going to show you the causes and solutions for this issue with your washing machine.

The Error Code E5 on Electrolux washing machines indicates that there's an issue with the pressure switch. This sensor is responsible for measuring the water level in the washing machine and sending a signal to the electronic board to stop the machine when the appropriate level is reached. If the pressure switch is damaged or in poor working condition, the washing machine won't be able to control the water level and may overflow or display the E5 error code.

In order to fix this problem and continue using your washing machine normally, you first need to understand the potential causes that lead to the appearance of the E5 error code:

• Issues with the pressure switch of your washing machine: The pressure switch may be dirty, damaged, or lack maintenance. It could also be disconnected, have wiring problems, or have sulfation on the connections, preventing it from communicating properly with your washing machine's electronic board.
• Issues with the PCB electronic board of your washing machine: A general failure in the electronic board that processes the pressure switch signal can cause the E5 error code to appear on your Electrolux washing machine.

These are the causes that can lead to the Error Code E5 appearing on your appliance, but let's now look at the possible solutions to fix this problem.

How can you solve the error code E5 of your Electrolux washing machine?

In order for you to continue using your Electrolux washing machine normally, we have prepared a list of potential solutions for fixing the E5 error code:

1. Turn off and disconnect your washing machine from the power supply: This procedure sometimes can be the solution to the majority of errors, as the washing machine resets its sensors with this simple procedure. To do this, completely turn off your washing machine and disconnect it from the power outlet for a few minutes. Once the time has passed (15 minutes), reconnect it and turn it on again to check if the E5 error code has disappeared.
2. Check if there's any object obstructing the pressure switch of your washing machine: Please turn off your washing machine and disconnect it from the power supply before performing this procedure. You'll need to uncover the top front of your washing machine to access the pressure switch, which is usually located close to the electronic board. If there's any object obstructing the pressure switch, it may be preventing it from functioning properly. Take the opportunity to check the condition of this pressure switch and proceed with the steps we'll indicate next.
3. Clean the pressure switch and perform preventive maintenance with an electronic cleaner: The pressure switch may be dirty and unable to measure the water correctly. Disconnect it and perform a small preventive maintenance with electronic cleaner, and check the condition of the wiring.
4. Inspect the wiring of the pressure switch and ensure it's not loose or damaged: The wiring of the pressure switch is part of the internal wiring of your Electrolux washing machine, so it must be in perfect condition. If the wiring is damaged, it may be preventing the signal from the pressure switch from reaching the electronic board of your washing machine. Make sure this wiring is not loose, cut, burnt, charred, melted, or sulfated. Also, check the connections and ensure they are not sulfated. Make the necessary repairs as needed; if you need to replace these cables with new ones, proceed with caution.
5. Replace the pressure switch of your Electrolux washing machine and inspect the PCB electronic board: If the previous solutions don't work, there may be a problem with the pressure switch that needs to be completely replaced. Make sure to get the appropriate pressure switch according to the model of your washing machine. Don't worry, a pressure switch is not very expensive and not difficult to replace. It's possible that the PCB electronic board has a fault if you've already replaced the pressure switch and the E5 error code persists.
6. Call an Electrolux technical service and request a home visit for a more thorough inspection: If the problem with your washing machine persists and you can't make the E5 error code disappear from your washing machine, then it's best to call a qualified professional. We're confident that the technical support team will provide you with an accurate diagnosis and will fix the problem with your washing machine in record time.
