Electrolux Washer E11 Error: Fill Takes Too Long

Medium · inspection needed

Code: E11
Appliance: Washer
Brand: Electrolux
Warranty: 30-day workmanship

What E11 means

The fill time is too long when E11 shows on an Electrolux Wave-Touch or IQ-Touch front-load washer such as the EWFLW65HIW, EIFLW55HIW, EFLS627UTT or ELFW7637AT. During the wash the washer is not taking in water as it should, and it may lock itself for up to six minutes. Washers like these are older and still run in plenty of Houston laundry rooms. A common installation slip is hot and cold hoses on the wrong faucets.

Common causes of E11

Water supply: faucets, hose kinks or low pressure
Clogged inlet screens
The water inlet valve
The pressure sensor or main control

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Make sure both water faucets are fully open and the hoses are not kinked. 2. Check that the hot and cold lines are not reversed. 3. Check the water supply requirements in the Use and Care guide. 4. If you unplug the washer, remember it restarts the six-minute lock. Call us if E11 returns.

! Why to stop there

The code shows slow filling but not whether the supply, a screen, the valve or a sensor is the cause, so we test each.
We check the inlet screens before suggesting a valve.
We give you the price on paper before we touch the washer, and our workmanship is warranted for 30 days.

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.

E11E11 questions

Why does E11 lock my washer?

After a fill problem the washer can lock for up to six minutes. Unplugging it restarts that wait, so it is better to leave it alone and let it finish.

Could my hoses be on the wrong sides?

Yes. Reversed hot and cold lines are a known installation issue that can cause E11. Check that each hose goes to the correct faucet and the correct washer inlet.

Is low water pressure the cause of E11?

It can be. We check supply pressure, the faucets, hose kinks and the inlet screens first, and then move on to the inlet valve, the pressure sensor and the control.
