Error EC2 in Electrolux washing machine

Error EC2 in Electrolux washing machine

Description

Error: EC2

The EC2 code indicates a failure related to a sensor that measures liquid/level or cleaning-fluid parameters. In washing machines this typically refers to the water/level or cleaning-liquid sensor; in some dryers a similar code can indicate an out-of-range reading from a level/moisture sensor.

Possible causes

• Faulty or degraded sensor (incorrect or out-of-range readings).
• Loose, damaged or corroded wiring and connector faults.
• Faulty electronic control board or component failure on the PCB.
• Obstruction, dirt or deposits interfering with the sensor reading.
• Intermittent faults caused by power surges or moisture intrusion.

Solutions

1. Consult the user manual and reset: Check the appliance manual for model-specific guidance. Try a power reset (unplug for 1–2 minutes) to see if the error clears.
2. Inspect and clean the sensor: Locate the level/cleaning-liquid or moisture sensor and clean any deposits or obstructions that could affect readings.
3. Check wiring and connections: Verify connectors are secure, wiring is intact and free from corrosion or damage. Re-seat connectors where applicable.
4. Test and replace the sensor if necessary: If the sensor still returns out-of-range values, replace it. For washing machines the recommended fix is often replacing the sensor.
5. Inspect electronic board components: If wiring and the sensor are good, check the control board for damaged components or signs of burns; replace or repair the PCB if required.
6. Contact technical service: If you cannot isolate or fix the fault, contact Electrolux technical service or an authorized repair provider.

Quick troubleshooting checklist

• Power-cycle the appliance.
• Find and clean the sensor area.
• Verify wiring and connector integrity.
• Replace the sensor if tests indicate failure.
• Check the control board if fault persists.

When to call a specialist

Contact a qualified technician when you do not have the tools or expertise to test/replace sensors or electronic components, or when the error persists after basic checks. For model-specific repairs and guaranteed parts, use an authorized Electrolux service provider.

More tips

If you have an Electrolux appliance, check the user manual first for model-specific instructions. If the manual does not resolve the issue, contact Electrolux technical support or search for an authorized service provider in your area.
