What to check before contacting Electrolux consumer service

Resolution

Before contacting Electrolux Customer Care, start by checking the most common causes of the issue. In many cases, the problem can be resolved without the need for a service visit.

1. Check the power supply

Make sure that:

• The appliance is plugged in correctly.
• The power socket is working.
• No circuit breaker or safety switch has been triggered.
• The display or indicator lights are operating normally.

2. Restart the appliance

A simple restart can sometimes resolve temporary issues.

1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Disconnect it from the power supply for a few minutes.
3. Reconnect it.
4. Check whether the problem has been resolved.

3. Check the water supply (if applicable)

For washing machines, washer dryers and dishwashers:

• Make sure the water tap is fully open.
• Check that the inlet hoses are not kinked or blocked.
• Clean the water inlet filters if necessary.

Poor performance is often caused by blocked filters or insufficient maintenance.

Check and clean:

• Washing machine filters.
• Dishwasher filters.
