How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the coffee maker before reaching inside the brew compartment.

User-level checks:

  • 1. Remove and clean brew group: Open the service door, remove the brew group (if removable on your model), and rinse it thoroughly under warm water. Remove coffee residues and old grounds. Let it dry and reinstall firmly.
  • 2. Check for obstructions: Inspect the brew chamber for loose coffee pucks, foreign objects, or misaligned parts that could block movement.
  • 3. Lubricate moving parts: Apply food-grade silicone grease to the brew group rails and moving joints as recommended by Electrolux.

Advanced checks:

  • 4. Inspect drive gears: Remove the side panel to access the brew drive motor and gear train. Look for cracked or missing teeth on plastic gears.
  • 5. Test motor: With the motor disconnected, apply the rated DC voltage (per service manual) briefly to confirm it spins freely. Replace if seized or non-functional.
  • 6. Check position switches: Locate the brew group home and brew position microswitches or Hall sensors. Test continuity when actuated. Replace faulty sensors.

Resolution: Most E06 errors are resolved by cleaning and lubricating the brew group. If mechanical parts are damaged, replace the brew group assembly or drive motor kit.
