Here is what the maker says it means. One page per code per appliance, because the same characters on a washer and on a range are two different repairs. The maker's own wording is quoted and attributed; the reading and the steps are ours. 32 — codes published 11 — answered with a power cycle and nothing more 5 — appliance types with none at all 272 — maker articles read ## The full index Filter by appliance before you type. The same letter and number are not the same condition on a washer and on a dryer, and choosing the machine first turns a list of near-misses into one page. Everything here was read from this maker's own owner support library and every entry links back to the article it came from. What is the maker's is quoted as the maker's and marked: the code, which appliance shows it, and the sentence published about it. The reading and the steps are ours, written per code. Where the maker publishes only a name and a power cycle, that is what the page says. ## A power cycle destroys the evidence Photograph the display before you cut power, including the spacing — on this make the spacing is part of the code, and SU dS and SB SB are not typing errors. The high-temperature alert on a refrigerator shows the peak temperature it reached exactly once. Most of the range codes are published by the maker as a name and thirty seconds at the breaker, so the reset is usually right. Doing it in the wrong order is what costs you the diagnosis. ## Modes wearing a code's clothes A dash is the cooktop lock. LOC is the washer control lock. A number between one and twenty-four on a dishwasher is the delay start. Hd is the heat delay. AD is an automatic dryer cycle. SB SB is Sabbath mode, and DEMO is a showroom setting. Each has a page here saying so plainly, because from across a room every one of them looks exactly like a dead appliance. ## Four things that shorten the visit Have these to hand - The model and serial off the rating plate. On this badge it also settles whether we are looking at the current line or at the built-in range that came before it. - A photograph of whatever the panel is showing, taken before anybody cuts the power — this maker keeps evidence that a reset destroys. - Whether the appliance is freestanding or fitted in. Almost everything this make sells is built into something, and that decides the length of the visit more than the part does. - Whether it is a rental or an association-managed unit, so the written findings reach whoever is paying for them. Worth checking first - Whether the machine is locked rather than broken. A dash on a cooktop and LOC on a washer both look exactly like a dead panel. - Whether a new oven is in demo mode. It accepts every setting, counts down a preheat, and never heats — and it costs somebody a call-out every year. - The drawer under an induction cooktop. Packed to the top it blocks the cooling path and the zones cut out in August. - For laundry, the vent run and the drain hose before the machine itself. Five of this maker's own codes point outside the appliance. ## By symptom instead If there is no code, or the code does not match what you are seeing. ## Where the maker publishes only a name, so do we Most of the F-codes on the electric range are published as a title and a power cycle and nothing else. Those pages say exactly that and mark the record as such, rather than inventing a checklist behind a name. Where the maker does publish a procedure — the washer’s E-codes, the dryer guide, the dishwasher’s i40 — the procedure is quoted and our own reading is written around it. ## The questions this page is asked The same code is on two appliances. Which page do I want? — The one for your appliance. E42 on a washer is a door lock that will not confirm; E42 on a dryer of the same make is a plain open door. Read the code with the machine, never on its own. My freezer has a code and there is no page for it. — This maker publishes no freezer codes at all, so what you are seeing is likely a high-temperature alert, which does have a page, or a mode. Send a photograph and we will tell you which. Should I keep resetting it? — Once is a test. Three times is a habit that hides how often it is happening. Note the date each time instead — a code that appears weekly and one that appears twice a year need different conversations. ## What is here, what is not, and why the list is honest rather than long ### Every code traces to one of the maker’s own articles These come out of 272 articles of this maker’s own Owner Center library. A code with no article behind it does not go on this site, which is why the list is 32 long rather than a hundred. A sibling fleet once shipped about thirty-eight “codes” that were symptoms somebody invented. ### Five appliance types this maker documents nothing for The commercial line, Freezer, Ice maker, Microwave, Wine cooler. No article, no table, no list. Those appliances have symptom pages on this site and no code pages, which is the honest answer rather than borrowing a table from the machine next door. ### And one family the sister badge does not have This maker publishes a seven-row dryer code guide. The volume badge in the same corporate group publishes no dryer code whatsoever. Three of those seven rows are installation problems the manufacturer sends back to the installer rather than to a repair company. ## Code not on this list? Then this maker does not publish it, or the appliance is not one this site covers. Tell us what the panel shows and which machine it is, and we will say which of the two it is. --- **[Read full article: Electrolux error codes](https://electroluxmiami.support/error-codes-archive/)**
