Resolution

Follow the steps below to reset the saved WiFi settings on your Electrolux washing machine.

Hold down the same buttons that are used for Wi‑Fi setup of the product.

The saved network information is now being deleted from the washing machine.

Refer to the user manual for details specific to your model.

4. Check the Wi-Fi network

Electrolux washing machines support:

• 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi
• IEEE 802.11 b/g/n

The connection typically cannot be established on networks that only use 5 GHz frequency.

Important

When the Wi-Fi settings are reset:

• delete the existing WiFi connection
• delete saved network information
• the washing machine needs to be registered in the app again

Wash programmes and other product settings are not affected.

When is it not a mistake?

It is normal to reset the Wi-Fi settings if:

• you have changed router
• you have changed the WiFi name (SSID)
• you have changed your password
• you have got a new phone
• the washing machine is shown as offline in the app
• the app can no longer find the product

The problem is often due to changes in the network and not a fault with the washing machine.

Cause

The Electrolux washing machine stores information about the WiFi network it has previously been connected to.

If the router, network name or password is changed, the connection to the app may be interrupted.

A reset removes the stored network information so the product can be connected again from scratch.
