What E00 actually means
E00 isn't a fault \u2014 it's the machine telling you no errors are stored in its memory.
Electrolux control boards use E00 to mean "no alarm condition". It normally appears when the machine is in its service or diagnostic mode, or straight after a stored fault has been cleared. If you're seeing it, the electronics have not logged a problem.
What usually causes it
- The machine has been put into service/diagnostic mode by a button combination
- A previous stored fault has been cleared from memory
- Normal display during an engineer's test cycle
- Buttons pressed together during a cycle, tipping it into test mode
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 machine off at the wall for a minute, then switch back on and select a normal programme
- Check the programme dial isn't left in a test or demo position
- Run a short cycle to confirm the machine behaves normally
When to call someone
This often clears with the checks above, and rarely needs an engineer. We cover Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire, and it's £66 including VAT for an engineer to come out and diagnose it — £84 in total if it's repaired on the visit with no parts needed. Any parts needed are quoted on site before we fit them — you decide. Every repair carries a 90-day workmanship guarantee.
Outside our area? The explanation above still stands — take it to a local engineer and tell them the code. Knowing it saves them time and you money.
