Electrolux Dishwasher Code i50: Drain or Wash Motor Trouble

Medium · inspection needed

Code: i50
Appliance: Dishwasher
Brand: Electrolux
Warranty: 30-day workmanship

What i50 means

The i50 message on Electrolux built-in dishwashers of the Durham platform, the ICON, EI24CD35, EI24ID30, EI24ID50, EW24ID70 and EW24ID80 models reports a problem with the drain motor or the wash motor. The i5 family relates to the motor harness, so the wiring to the motors is part of what we check. The dishwasher stops because the control does not see the motor behave as it should. You may hear nothing during the wash, or see water left in the tub.

Common causes of i50

Drain or wash motor harness
Motor winding or its connection
Pump jammed by debris
Control board output to the motor

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Open the door and check for standing water. 2. Clean the glass trap and filter by hand, and look for glass or debris in the sump. 3. Spin the lower spray arm by hand to make sure it turns freely. 4. Run a short cycle. If i50 returns, call us.

! Why to stop there

i50 does not say which motor, so we test both the drain and the wash motors and their harness.
We check for a jammed pump before blaming a motor.
We give you the price in writing before we start.

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.
