Possible Causes

Water leak into base pan triggering float switch, Loose or damaged door gasket, Cracked or loose circulation pump hose, Leaking Electrolux inlet valve or sump seal

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker and close the water supply valve immediately to prevent further flooding.

  • Check for visible leaks: Open the door and inspect the door gasket for tears, deformation, or debris preventing a proper seal. Clean the gasket and door mating surface with mild detergent.
  • Empty base pan: Carefully pull the dishwasher out from the cabinet. Tilt it slightly backward or to the side (place towels underneath) to allow any water in the base pan to drain out. This may temporarily clear the i30 error.
  • Inspect hoses and components: With the side or bottom panel removed (if accessible), look for water trails around the circulation pump, heater, sump, and inlet valve. Tighten hose clamps and replace any cracked hoses.
  • Test after drying: Once the base is completely dry, restore power and water, then run a short cycle while observing for leaks. If water reappears in the base, the leaking component (often the sump seal, circulation pump housing, or inlet valve) must be replaced.
  • Professional help: If you cannot locate the leak source or if the tub itself is cracked, contact an authorized Electrolux service technician.
