Hi all, I have an Electrolux ESL63010 dishwasher that errors during a cycle and stops. When it errors, it emits a single beep every three seconds, and keeps doing so until I open the door. When I open the door, you can see the program light flashing. If I shut the door, the program starts again fills and drains, but within minutes it stops again, beeps and flashes.
If I open the door and switch it off, you can hear the water pipes of the house leading into the dishwasher judder as pressure changes.
Has anybody got any idea what might be causing this? I have had the pipes off of the inlet to check for a blockage (as the manual says), but they’re clear. I’m assuming it’s something to do with the water inlet pressure switch, but how do I check if this is the case. Could it be something else?
Basically, I switch it on, it sounds like it’s filling, it sounds like it’s doing a pre-wash, and then it errors. I open and shut the door, it drains, and starts filling again and then sounds like a pre-wash has started again… and round and round in circles I go. It rarely seems to move on to the next part of a cycle.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
Re: Electrolux ESL63010 dishwasher error
Hi, apologies for the delay in responding. I have tried numerous things to find the issue, and have resorted to making a video of what is happening during the wash cycle which I have linked for you at http://www.emaress.co.uk/Dishawasher_ES … or.mov.zip if you don’t mind downloading it. A wash cycle is only lasting about three-and-a-half minutes before it goes wrong. I’ve also captured the error sound and lights for you just in case it means something to you.
I no longer think it is the inlet valve; I’m thinking it is likely to be the PCB board, but it could be as simple as something like a switch being triggered because of gunk somewhere.
The two tubes you mentioned were not that obvious at the back of the dishwasher, but I assume you meant a grey and transparent tube one end of each connected to a white piece of plastic near the front by the door hinge (at 1.30 in the video) and the other ends connected to another piece of plastic in the middle at the front (at 3.35 in the video). Anyway, those tubes and nozzles they connected to were very clean. These parts are what are seen at the end of the video once you see and hear the error.
You’ll hear that once the dishwasher is part way filled, it starts to empty while filling. Is this normal? When it has finished filling it continues to empty and about three minutes after starting, it errors.
If this gives you any clearer indication of what is wrong and the parts I might purchase, where do you recommend buying them?
Many thanks.
