Start here. Each page says what to do in the next ten minutes, what usually causes it on this make, and what to check before anybody is called. 30 — symptoms written up 32 — codes this maker publishes 5 — appliance types it documents none for from $95 — diagnostic, credited to the repair ## All 30 of them Grouped by the appliance. Each one names only codes this maker actually publishes. No symptoms published yet. ## Several of these are not failures A dash across a cooktop is the lock. LOC on a washer is the control lock. A number between one and twenty-four on a dishwasher is the delay start. Hd is the machine heating water. AD on a dryer is an automatic cycle. SB SB on a refrigerator is Sabbath mode. All six look like a broken appliance from across the room and none of them is. They are on this site because a service call to be told so is a service call nobody should pay for. ## Five of this maker's codes are not ours to bill for EF1 is the dryer vent. H4/B4 is the wiring at the outlet. H2/B2 is the supply reaching the building. E11 and HO SE are crossed washer hoses. The manufacturer sends all five back to whoever installed the machine or to the utility. If that is what we find, we say so and charge for the diagnostic rather than fitting a part that was never the problem. ## 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 appliance instead If you already know which appliance and want everything about it in one place. ## One appliance we ask you not to open A microwave. The high-voltage capacitor holds a charge that can kill long after the unit has been unplugged, and there is no consumer-level check worth that risk. Filters, the damper and the door alignment are fine to look at. Everything behind the inner panel is ours. ## The questions this page is asked There is no code. Is that bad? — No. This maker publishes nothing at all for freezers, wine cabinets, ice makers, microwaves and the commercial line, so on those the behavior is the diagnosis. A page that invented a code table for them would be worse than useless. Should I reset it before calling? — Photograph the display first. A power cycle is often the right thing to do and it is always the thing that destroys the evidence, so do it in that order. It stopped doing it by itself. — Worth writing down what it was doing and when. Intermittent behavior that clears on its own is still information, and on a control problem the timing matters more than the symptom. ## What these pages are for, and the order they answer in ### Ten minutes first Every page here opens with what to do in the next ten minutes, before any theory. On this badge a real share of those ten minutes end the problem entirely: a delay start counting down, a control lock, demo mode, a drawer packed under an induction cooktop, a corner of a towel in a washer seal. ### Codes where the maker publishes them, and silence where it does not This maker documents codes on 7 of the 12 types this site covers and publishes nothing at all for the commercial line, freezer, ice maker, microwave, wine cooler. On those, the observable behavior is the whole diagnosis, and every page here names only codes this maker actually prints. ### What we would rather you did not do Clear the display before reading it. These cabinets keep the peak temperature behind a high-temperature alert and show it once; a second press deletes it. A photograph of the panel before the power goes off is worth more than any description of the noise. ## Describe it and we will tell you which page you want What it is doing, when it started, and what the panel says if anything. That is usually enough to name the part before anybody is dispatched. --- **[Read full article: Electrolux symptoms](https://electroluxmiami.support/symptoms-archive/)**
