What E95 actually means
The dryer's main control board has lost contact with the memory chip that holds its settings, so it has abandoned the cycle.
Inside the control board there's a small memory chip (an EEPROM) that stores the machine's configuration and cycle data. The processor checks it can talk to that chip, and on E95 it can't, so the drum stops and the cycle is dropped rather than run blind. The fault puts this down to a faulty electronic board.
What E95 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, E95 usually shows up as one or more of these:
- No function at all
- Dead — nothing lights up
- Lights flashing and nothing happening
- Programme won't start
- Machine tripping the electrics
- E95 flashing on the display
- Beeping and showing E95
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
- Faulty main control board (the usual outcome)
- Corrupted or unreadable memory chip on the board
- A power interruption or supply disturbance that upset the board mid-cycle
- A board fitted or configured incorrectly after a previous repair
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.
- Switch off at the wall socket, leave it for a minute or two, then power back up and try a cycle — occasionally the code clears after a mains blip
- Make sure the dryer is plugged straight into a wall socket rather than an extension lead or timer plug
