When to Call a Professional

Call a plumber if water pressure is consistently low throughout your home, or contact an appliance technician if the E10 error persists after cleaning all filters and the water inlet valve needs replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my Electrolux washer keep showing E10 error?
Recurring E10 errors usually indicate clogged inlet filter screens that need regular cleaning, especially in areas with hard water. Clean the filters every 3-6 months to prevent buildup.
Can I run my Electrolux washer with E10 error?
No, you cannot run a wash cycle with the E10 error active. The washer will not fill with water and the cycle will not start until the water inlet problem is resolved.
How do I know if my water pressure is too low for my Electrolux washer?
Your washer needs at least 14.5 PSI (1 bar) water pressure to operate properly. If filling a bucket from the inlet hoses takes longer than normal or produces weak flow, you likely have low pressure.
Where are the inlet filter screens on Electrolux washers?
Inlet filter screens are located inside the water inlet valve ports where the supply hoses connect to the back of the washer, and also inside the female ends of the supply hoses themselves.
