Electrolux Washer Machine Error EA

What could the error code EA mean affecting your Electrolux washing machine?

Is the EA error code on your Electrolux washing machine a huge problem that prevents you from washing your clothes with peace of mind? Don't worry, let us tell you that you are in the right place to find a solution to this issue affecting your washer. Today, in this article, we will teach you the causes and solutions for this problem your washing machine is experiencing.

The EA error code on Electrolux brand washing machines indicates that there is a problem with the pressure switch. The pressure switch is nothing more than a sensor capable of measuring the water level in the washer and sending a signal to stop filling water when the appropriate level is reached. If the pressure switch is damaged, the washer will not be able to control the water level and could overflow.

But in order to fix this problem, the first thing you need to know are the possible causes that trigger the E5 error code on your Electrolux washer:

• A problem with the pressure switch of your washer: The pressure switch may be very dirty or damaged, so you may need to clean it or replace it entirely. The pressure switch could also be poorly connected, with wiring problems and/or sulfate on the connections of the electronic board.
• A problem with the electronic PCB board of your washer: It's possible that some component of the electronic board is not functioning correctly and is sending wrong signals to the pressure switch, causing the EA error code to appear on your Electrolux washer.

These are the reasons why the EA error code appears on your washer. Now let's see what solutions we can apply to definitively resolve this problem.

How could you solve the error code EA of your Electrolux washing machine?

Today we have prepared for you a list of possible solutions that you can apply to fix the EA error code. This way, you can continue using your washer normally:

1. Turn off and disconnect your washer from the power source to reset the sensor: Please completely turn off your washer and proceed to disconnect it from the power source for a few minutes (at least 5 minutes). Once the time has passed, reconnect it and turn it back on to check if the EA error code has disappeared. As simple as it may seem, this procedure sometimes can be the solution to the majority of errors. This is because the washer resets its sensors, including the pressure switch.
2. Check if there is any object obstructing the pressure switch of your washer: Please turn off your washer and disconnect it from the power outlet before performing this procedure. Open the top front panel of your washer to visually inspect the pressure switch. It often happens that lint residues, clips, or coins get stuck in the pressure switch, preventing its proper functioning. Take this opportunity to check the condition of the pressure switch and proceed with the steps we will indicate next.
3. Clean the pressure switch and perform preventive maintenance: The pressure switch may be dirty and unable to measure water correctly. Disconnect it and perform a small preventive maintenance with electronic cleaner, and check the condition of the wiring that goes from the pressure switch to the washer's electronic board. Also, check the hose connected to the pressure switch and make sure it is not blocked by any foreign object or lint residues from the washer itself. If you notice that the hose is blocked, then most likely you will have to clean and/or replace the filters of your washer.
4. Check the wiring of the pressure switch and ensure it is in good condition: If the wiring is damaged, it may be preventing the signal from the pressure switch from reaching the electronic board of your washer. Make sure this wiring is not loose, cut, burnt, scorched, melted, or sulfated. Also, check the connections and ensure they are not sulfated. If you find sulfate on the connections or on the tips of the cables, you will need to perform maintenance to remove all that sulfate that interferes with communication. Make the necessary repairs as appropriate; if you need to replace these cables with new ones, then proceed with the procedure carefully.
5. Replace the pressure switch of your Electrolux washer and check the electronic PCB board: If you have reached this point and have not been able to fix the problem, then most likely you will need to replace the pressure switch entirely. Surely, by replacing this pressure switch, the fault will be solved. However, it could also happen that the electronic board has damaged components, so if you have knowledge in electronics, you could try to repair it yourself. As a tip, these electronic boards have resistors and ceramic capacitors that are responsible for communication with the pressure switch and other components, and they tend to fail.
6. Call an Electrolux technical service and request a home visit for a more thorough inspection: If the problem with your washer persists and you cannot make the EA error code disappear, then it would be best to call Electrolux technical support so that they can send a technician to perform a more thorough inspection of your washer.

In summary, we can tell you that the EA error code on Electrolux washers indicates that there is a problem with the pressure switch of the washer. To try to fix it yourself, you can follow these steps that we have outlined below:

• Turn off and disconnect your washer from the power source to reset the sensor
• Check if there is any object obstructing the pressure switch of your washer
• Clean the pressure switch and perform preventive maintenance
• Check the wiring of the pressure switch and ensure it is in good condition
• Replace the pressure switch of your Electrolux washer and check the electronic PCB board
• Call an Electrolux technical service and request a home visit for a more thorough inspection
