How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Unplug the unit and shut off water. Water in the sump may be sharp with ice; use gloves.

  • Check water level: Ensure the sump has adequate water. A dry sump can cause the pump to run dry and trigger E11.
  • Inspect pump inlet: Access the circulation pump under the sump. Remove any screens or covers and clear debris or scale blocking the inlet.
  • Bleed air: After refilling the sump, tilt the unit slightly or manually prime the pump (if possible) to remove trapped air.
  • Test pump motor: Disconnect the pump and measure resistance across the motor leads. If open or shorted, replace the pump. Verify the harness is fully seated at both ends.
  • Replace circulation pump: Remove mounting screws and hose clamps, swap in the new Electrolux circulation pump, secure hoses, and check for leaks. Restore power and confirm strong water flow over the evaporator.
