Zanussi washing machine error codes
Zanussi washing machines (Electrolux group) share the AEG code system: E-number codes such as E20 (drain), E10 (inlet) and E40 (door). Meanings are the same across Zanussi front-loader lines.
| Code | Meaning | Severity | First action |
|---|---|---|---|
| E20 | Drain fault | Often fixable at home | The machine could not drain — water is left in the drum. |
| E10 | Water inlet fault | Often fixable at home | The machine did not fill with water, or filled too slowly. |
| E40 | Door fault | Often fixable at home | The door is not properly closed or the lock is not engaging, so the programme will not start. |
| E50 | Motor fault | Often fixable at home | The motor is not responding as expected — often carbon brush wear on older machines. |
| EF5 | Pressure sensor fault | Often fixable at home | The water-level (pressure) sensor is reporting values the control board cannot use. |
Safety first
Unplug before any check. Never open panels beyond the filter flap. Anything involving internal wiring, the heater or gas must go to a professional — see each code page for its "call a professional when" line.
