Electrolux Dishwasher i40 Error Code

The flood sensor in the base tray has detected water, stopping the cycle to prevent damage.

Common causes

  • Leaking hose connection
  • Cracked tub or sump
  • Overfilled water due to faulty valve

How to fix it

  1. Turn off power and water supply, then check for visible water under the dishwasher.
  2. Dry the base tray thoroughly and check all hose connections for leaks.
  3. Run a rinse cycle test; if water reappears in the tray, locate the source.
⚠ When to call a pro: If you cannot find the leak source or it reappears, call a technician to avoid water damage.
