Marking of Electrolux washing machines

Users very often cannot recognize the icons on an Electrolux washing machine, especially if they are dealing with models whose control panels come with unsigned icons. It’s good if an eloquent image of a bowl of water is used as an icon, but if it’s some kind of squiggle, then it’s not possible to decipher it using basic everyday logic.

In order to properly use Electrolux brand washing machines, you need to correctly decipher all the icons on its panel; let’s do the decoding together. At the same time, we’ll find out how to correctly decipher the marking designation of a specific model of Electrolux brand washing machines - this will help you learn about the capabilities of our “home assistant.”

Basic icons

Without fail, on the control panel of an Electrolux washing machine you can find a sign that defines a particular mode of washing, laundry care, or related to the general management of the “home assistant”. It is necessary to talk about such signs first of all, because if you do not know their meaning, you can choose the wrong washing program and simply ruin the item.

In general, it is categorically not recommended to operate a modern washing machine at random, so before you start the newly purchased washing machine for the first time, carefully read the instructions and decipher the icons shown on the control panel.

In the picture above you can see 4 icons; they correspond to the four stages of laundry care that an Electrolux brand automatic washing machine can provide. The icon depicting a basin containing the Roman numeral one stands for pre-wash. By the way, you can find this icon on the powder receptacle of the washing machine. The manufacturer applies it so that the user does not confuse the powder compartments when preparing the washing machine to start.

The main wash is indicated by a sign that depicts a basin with the Roman numeral two. The main wash is used in all cases, so you need to decipher this icon first. The drawing of a basin filled with water means rinsing, and the eloquent sign of a spiral means spinning.

In the picture above you can see another group of the most important and frequently used icons.

• If an Electrolux washing machine has a “Rinse Stop” function, then it is indicated by a drawing of a basin filled with water.

Visually, the “rinse” and “rinse stop” icons are noticeably different from each other. The water in the basin of the “rinse” icon is depicted with waves and ripples, when, as in the “rinse stop” picture, the water is transparent.

• The drainage of water from the washing machine tank is drawn in the form of a basin with a hole instead of a bottom. Water pours out of this hole, as indicated by the arrow.
• The “end of the program” sign is drawn in the form of an arrow pointing to the right towards an improvised door, the role of which in the picture is played by a vertical stick.

As you can see, the decoding is not difficult, it can be easily remembered the first time. Some users who use such washing machines make it even easier. Having deciphered the icons on the control panel, they stick paper stickers instead of them, on which they briefly write the decryption data.In our opinion, this is overkill, although, probably, this method also has a right to exist.

Helper icons

Depending on the model and configuration, different Electrolux washing machines have a different set of functions. These functions are also indicated on the washing machine panel with special icons. In addition, significant information that the manufacturer wants to convey to customers for advertising purposes is also depicted on the body of the washing machine in the form of icons. True, they, unlike the signs we described above, are easier to recognize without additional decoding.

1. If the washer is equipped with a “delay start” function, then on the body you will definitely see a square design in which the word TIMER and the number 24, 12 or 8 are written, depending on how long the start delay is possible in this model of the machine.
2. If the model has a low noise level, then on the body you will see a square with the inscription “very quiet” and an image of a sound wave inside.
3. The maximum load of the washing machine drum is eloquently indicated by a weight indicating the value in kilograms.
4. An additional rinse is indicated by a basin of water and an arcing arrow located above the basin and pointing to the right.
5. The “imbalance control” icon is depicted as a circle in a square, inside the circle there is an arc with arrows at both ends.
6. The “easy ironing” function is indicated by an image of an iron enclosed in a square. There are two horizontal lines under the sole of the iron, and there are two dots on its body.
7. And finally, the “foam control” icon is depicted as a square, which is partly filled with water and partly with soap bubbles.

Among the auxiliary icons on the control panel of the Electrolux washing machine, there are designations of washing programs. We have presented a brief explanation of these designations in the figure that you see below.

In addition to those shown in the picture, there are additional icons that may indicate rare washing programs and modes on some Electrolux washing machine models; to decipher them, look at the instructions.

About the marking code

The marking must be affixed to the body of any Electrolux brand washing machine. Here's an example: Electrolux EWS1066CAU. This is a specific model of the Electrolux washing machine, which has certain basic characteristics. They are encrypted in this marking. Let's decipher this designation together.

The first part of the marking code is easy to decipher - this is the brand of the washing machine. In our case Electrolux. Next come three English letters. The first letter again indicates the brand of the washing machine; apparently the manufacturer assumes that the marking will be affixed to the body only as a set of letters and numbers. The second letter indicates the type of equipment, determining that it is an automatic washing machine, and not a refrigerator or microwave oven. The third letter determines the loading type of the washing machine, as well as its type.

Next in the code are 4 digits. The first two digits determine the maximum spin speed. In our case, the speed is 1000 rpm, not much, but washing machines in this series can have a spin speed of up to 1600 rpm. The third number indicates the maximum load of the washing machine drum, in our example – 6 kg.And the fourth digit indicates the type of control of the washing machine, as a rule, it is electronic control. The last letters of the marking code are intended to indicate the types of components and assemblies used in the machine; this information is not particularly necessary for the user.

The last letters of the marking code can be useful if, for example, you have to change the washing machine motor. Knowing the code, you can easily select the desired unit or unit in the store.

In conclusion, we note that modern Eletkrolux washing machines have already decrypted icons on their control panels, but if you come across a model where there is no decryption, this publication will come to the rescue. Well, if you need to decipher the icons on other models of washing machines, this publication will help you Signs on the washing machine. Happy research!
