Marking of washing machines Electrolux

Electrolux iconsThe icons on the Electrolux washing machine are often not recognized by users, especially if they are dealing with models that have control panels with unsigned icons. It is good if an eloquent image of a basin of water is used as an icon, but if it is some kind of squiggle, then it is not possible to decipher it using elementary everyday logic.

In order to properly use the Electrolux brand washing machines, it is necessary to correctly decrypt all the icons on its panel, we will deal with decryption together. At the same time, we will find out how to correctly decode the marking of a particular model of Electrolux brand washing machines - this will help to find out about the capabilities of our "home assistant".

Key Icons

Without fail, you can see a sign on the control panel of the Electrolux washing machine that defines one or another washing, grooming, or related to the general management of the “home assistant”. It is necessary to talk about such signs in the first place, because if you do not know their decoding, you can choose the wrong washing program and ruin the thing.

In general, it’s strongly discouraged to operate a modern washing machine using the “stick method”, so before you start the first start of a newly purchased washing machine, carefully read the instructions and decipher the icons shown on the control panel.

basic icons

In the picture above you can see 4 icons, they correspond to the four stages of laundry care, which can be provided by an automatic washing machine brand Electrolux. The icon depicting the basin, in which the Roman numeral one is located, stands for prewash. By the way, you can find this icon on the powder receiver of the washing machine. Its manufacturer applies so that the user does not confuse the powder compartments when he prepares the washing machine for launch.

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

washing steps

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

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

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

  • The drain of water from the tank of the washing machine is drawn in the form of a basin with an opening instead of the bottom. Water spills from this hole, as indicated by the arrow.
  • The sign "end of the program" is drawn in the form of an arrow pointing to the right to an impromptu door, the role of which in the figure is played by a vertically placed wand.

As you can see, the decoding is not complicated, it can be easily remembered the first time. Some users using such washing machines make it even easier. Having decrypted the icons on the control panel, they paste paper stickers instead of them, on which the decryption data is briefly written. In our opinion, this is a bust, 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 washer panel with special icons. In addition, the significant information that the manufacturer wants to convey to customers for advertising purposes is also displayed on the body of the washing machine in the form of icons. True, they, unlike the signs described by us above, are more easily recognized without additional decryption.

additional icons

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

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

In addition to those indicated in the picture, there are additional icons that may indicate rare washing programs and modes on some models of Electrolux washing machines, to decrypt them, look in the instructions.

About the marking code

marking of the washing machine Electrolux

Deciphering the first part of the marking code is easy - this is the brand of the washing machine. In our case, Electrolux. Next are three English letters. The first letter, again, indicates the brand of the washer, apparently the manufacturer admits that the marking will be affixed to the body with only a set of letters and numbers. The second letter indicates a type of technique, determining that it is a washing machine, and not a refrigerator or microwave. The third letter defines the type of loading 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 of this series can have a spin speed of up to 1600 rpm. The third digit indicates the maximum load of the washing drum, in our example - 6 kg. And the fourth digit indicates the type of control of the washing machine, as a rule, this 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 may come in handy if you have to, for example, change the washing machine engine. Knowing the code, you can easily select the desired unit or assembly in the store.
