Electrolux Intermittent Electrical Connection

Indicator lights or display flicker when the unit is moved or the handle is adjusted.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Loose wiring harness in handle, Damaged flex cable, Poor connection at control board, Cracked solder joints

Safety first: Unplug before opening the handle or control housing.

Wiggle test (diagnostic only): With the unit plugged in and powered (exercise caution), gently move the handle and observe flicker. Then unplug and inspect the areas that caused flicker.
Check handle wiring: Open the handle and inspect the harness for broken conductors.
Reseat connectors: Firmly reconnect all plugs on the control board.
Board inspection: Look for cracked solder joints on high-stress connectors; replace the board if necessary.
