11 error codes

CodeMeaning
E11The washer did not reach its required water level within the allowed fill time. The control board detected a fill timeout and stopped the cycle to prevent an indefinitely running water valve.
highbeginner
E13The E13 error code indicates that the washer has detected a water leak in the base tray, triggering the anti-flood float switch.
highintermediate
E13The flood sensor in the base pan of the washer has detected standing water, triggering the overflow protection system. The machine immediately stops filling and activates the drain pump to protect your floor.
criticalintermediate
E21The control board timed out waiting for the pressure switch to confirm an empty tub. It powered the drain pump, waited the full cycle, and the water level sensor said the drum was still full. So it killed the cycle to protect the pump motor and keep your floor dry.
highintermediate
E21The washer failed to drain the water from the tub within the allowed time. The drain pump ran but could not remove water fast enough, indicating a blockage, a restriction in the drain path, or a failing pump.
highintermediate
E35The water level pressure sensor is reading outside its expected range. Basically, the control board can't figure out how much water's actually in the tub, so it stops the machine to avoid a potential overflow. It reads air pressure through a small tube connected to the tub sump, and something's throwing off that signal.
highintermediate
E41The door lock actuator failed to engage or disengage within the expected time window. The washer won't start a cycle without a confirmed lock signal, and it can't end a cycle without a confirmed unlock either.
moderateintermediate
HUBThis is a reference hub for all fault codes on Electrolux EFLS series front-load washers. When the board detects something outside its normal range, whether it's water pressure, door position, or drain timing, it throws a code and shuts down to protect itself and your floor.
lowbeginner
NOT-DRAININGThe control board detected that water didn't drain within the expected time window, usually 8-10 minutes. So it locks the door and flags E21 to protect the motor from running dry. Basically, water's still sitting in the drum when it shouldn't be, and the machine gave up waiting.
moderateintermediate
NOT-SPINNINGThe drum stopped rotating during the spin cycle. The machine detected either a loss of motor speed feedback (that's the E52 code), a broken or slipped drive belt, or a door latch that won't confirm it's closed, so the control board cut power to the motor as a safety measure.
moderateintermediate
SU D5The SU D5 code (which often looks like 'SUD' on the display) indicates that the control board has detected excessive soap suds. This foam creates air pockets that prevent the drain pump from removing water, causing the cycle to pause or fail.
