Electrolux washing machine model marking coding

Each Electrolux washing machine model has its own coding. The set of letters and numbers encrypts the basic information about the technology, and it is not at all difficult to understand it.

The encoding of the current models that are currently on sale is as follows:

1. In all TM Electrolux washing machines, the letter “E” is written first. This is the first letter of the word "Electrolux".
2. The second symbol is always the letter “W”, which indicates that this is a washing machine.
3. The third character is a number that indicates the series of the washing machine. For example, it would be “6” for the PerfectCare 600 series and “7” for the PerfectCare 700 series.
4. Another letter in the encoding allows you to determine the type of washing machine:
   • G – built-in;
   • S – frontal, with a narrow body (up to 46 cm);
   • W – washer-dryer;
   • T – top loading;
   • F – front loading;
   • N – drying equipment with a heat pump;
   • C – condensation type dryer.
5. Two characters define the control type. For example, "4R", "3R".
6. Maximum spin speed (coding corresponds to drum revolutions per minute):
   • 0 — 1 000;
   • 2 – 1 200;
   • 4 – 1 400;
   • 6 – 1 600.
7. Maximum load of laundry into the drum (in kilograms).
8. The color of the washing machine (from the name in English, by the first letter). For example, W is white.
9. Type of motor in the washing machine.

The type of marking of Electrolux washing machines was changed in 2017. In older models the encoding was different.

Error codes

The washing machine generates information about operating errors and failures automatically. The corresponding code is shown on the display. This allows you to quickly respond to a stop in work and easily find a unit that has stopped working normally.

The error code, depending on the specific model, may look like “ERROR”, “ERR” or “E”. Following the letter designation is a code that indicates what kind of trouble has occurred with the automatic washing machine, and which unit should be paid attention to during diagnostic measures.

Electrolux errors that may be seen on the display:

• E10 / E11 – no water supply, the waiting time for water supply has been exceeded (the reason may be not only a blockage, but also a failure of elements on the control board);
• E13 – leak;
• E20 / E21 / EF0 / EF1 – drain error (blockages, malfunctions, failures);
• E23 / E24 – drainage violation, faulty triacidac;
• E31 – E34 – pressure switch malfunction;
• E50 – E55 – motor malfunction;
• E52, E56, E59 – malfunctions of the tachogenerator installed on the motor;
• E57, E58 – high voltage in the network;
• E61, E62, E66, E68, E69, E3A, E71, E74 – errors related to water heating (including heating element failures, malfunctions, sensor failure, etc.);
• E40 – E45 – errors associated with the hatch door;
• E90 – E91 – problems with the control module;
• EF5 – imbalance;
• EH3 – network voltage is too low;
• EH1 – voltage is not normal;
• EH2 – network voltage is too high;
• EF2 – increased foam formation.
