Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the appliance before any internal inspection. Hot water and steam can cause burns.
User-level actions:
- 1. Remove water filter: If your Electrolux model uses a tank filter cartridge, remove it and try operating without it. A clogged filter can trigger E10.
- 2. Full descaling: Run at least one complete descaling cycle with Electrolux-approved descaler. If the error persists, repeat once more.
- 3. Check tank seating and level: Ensure the tank is fully inserted and filled above the minimum mark.
Advanced actions:
- 4. Inspect internal tubing: Open the housing and check all silicone hoses for blockages, kinks, or collapsed sections. Replace any suspect hoses.
- 5. Verify sensors: Depending on model, check the water level sensor (float or conductivity type) and flowmeter for proper connection and cleanliness.
Resolution: If E10 remains after descaling and hose inspection, a sensor or control board fault is likely and should be diagnosed by a professional.
