Error E60 in the Electrolux washing machine

If for urban residents the error E60 in the Electrolux washing machine is practically unfamiliar, then those who live in small towns have to deal with it quite often. It is all about power surges that make themselves felt outside megacities and lead to a burnt out interference filter. We offer you to learn more about the malfunction and learn how to deal with it yourself.

The main reasons for the appearance of the E60

The main reason for the E60 DTC on the Electrolux is not in the machine itself, but outside it. And the “burnt” or too sensitive interference filter is “to blame” for this. The first is rare. As soon as the device detects a sharp drop or increase in voltage in the mains, a danger signal is transmitted to the control board and, for security reasons, the system suspends the operation of the machine. Sometimes even high-quality does not save from jumps and their smoothing.stabilizer - the device still catches current fluctuations and turns on the protective mode.

The cause of the E60 error often lies in the sensitive interference filter.

There is only one solution to the problem - to abandon sensitive Electroluxes and purchase a machine that does not respond to power surges to a summer cottage or cottage. So far, there is no other option, because the manufacturer does not meet the Russians and does not adjust the interference filter to Russian realities. Moreover, it is impossible to rebuild the machine even by independently changing the factory parameters, since the company does not supply the appropriate software and does not give supporting instructions.

How to test the interference filter?

When the display gives an error E60, the first thing we check is the noise filter. To do this, you will need to find it, test it, and if necessary replace it with a working analog. Perhaps it burned out, and without his "help" the system will not be able to start a new cycle. To diagnose the filter, you must:

• disconnect the machine from power, water and sewage;
• remove the top cover of the washer;
• find the hole through which the network cable passes;
• find an interference filter - a small part in a white or black-plastic case that looks like a battery;
• remove the part by disconnecting the connector.

Taking the filter in hand, you must carefully examine it for signs of burning. In 98%, burnt contacts and an unpleasant smell are said to be malfunctioning. When there are “symptoms”, you can correct the situation by replacing the device without additional checks. If visually the “battery” is intact, you should use a multimeter and check the part according to the following algorithm:

• set the tester to dialing mode;
• apply probes to the contacts of the capacitor;
• measure the voltage at the input and output. If in the second case the device does not show the presence of current, then a filter replacement is required.

It will not work to fix a burnt-out interference filter - only a semiconductor replacement will help bring the machine back to life.

With a burnt out filter, the washing machine repair is not needed - even the novice master will easily remove the defective part and install a new one. You just need to choose the right semiconductor to replace. A win-win option would be to use a dismantled "battery" as a model for a sales assistant in a store.

It’s easy to figure out what to do next. We bring the filter home, put it in its original place, put the cover back in place and connect the washer to the communications. It is difficult to make mistakes during assembly, therefore it is highly likely that the test wash will turn on without problems.
