Electrolux E00 tumble dryer: what it means & what to check

What E00 actually means

E00 isn't a fault — it's the dryer telling you its fault memory is empty, with no stored alarms.

On Electrolux dryers, the control board keeps a log of the last few alarms so an engineer can read them back in service diagnostics. When that log is cleared, the display shows E00 to confirm there is nothing stored. It appears at the end of a reset, not because anything has failed.

What E00 looks like on a Electrolux tumble dryer

Most people find this page having searched for what the machine is doing rather than the code itself. On a Electrolux tumble dryer, E00 usually shows up as one or more of these:

Machine not draining
Water left in the drum at the end of the cycle
Stops mid-cycle full of water
Standing water in the bottom
Not drying
Blowing cold air
Clothes still damp at the end
Takes hours to dry

Recognise any of those? That is this fault, and the rest of this page explains what causes it and what you can check yourself.

What usually causes it

The stored fault log has been cleared, usually after a service visit
Someone has been into the diagnostic/service mode and reset the alarms
The dryer has been powered down and back up after a one-off glitch
A genuine fault that occurred earlier has since been wiped from memory

What you can safely check yourself

Work through these in order. Anything beyond this — panels off, testing parts, anything to do with the wiring — is an engineer's job, and not one to attempt with the machine plugged in.

Turn the dryer off at the wall for a minute, then switch back on and select a normal programme
Clean the fluff filter and check the heat exchanger filter is clear before running a cycle
Run a short cycle with a small load and watch for any other code — that is the one worth reporting

Common questions about Electrolux E00

What does E00 mean on a Electrolux tumble dryer?

E00 isn't a fault — it's the dryer telling you its fault memory is empty, with no stored alarms.

Can I fix Electrolux E00 myself?

There are 3 checks you can safely do yourself first.
