Washing Machine Showing Error Code E35? Here’s How to Fix It!
Is your AEG, Electrolux, Quelle, or Privileg washing machine displaying error code E35? This indicates a water level that is too high in the drum. Don’t panic, we’ll help you solve the problem step by step.
What does error code E35 mean?
Error code E35 means that the washing machine has detected a water level that is too high. This is a safety mechanism to prevent water damage.
Possible Causes:
- Defective pressure sensor: This sensor measures the water level. A defective sensor transmits incorrect values.
- Blocked air trap or pressure hose: Check if the air trap and the hose to the pressure sensor are blocked.
- Defective inlet valve: A sticking or leaking inlet valve causes a constant water supply.
- Defective control board: A problem with the electronics can misinterpret sensor signals.
Solution:
- Turn off the washing machine and unplug it from the power outlet.
- Visual inspection: Check the air trap and the pressure hose for blockages or damage. Clean or replace them if necessary.
- Check the pressure sensor: Locate the pressure sensor (consult your manual) and check the electrical connections. Test the sensor with a multimeter (if possible). Replace the sensor if it is defective.
- Check the inlet valve: Ensure the inlet valve closes properly when the machine is off. Replace the valve if it leaks or is not functioning correctly.
- Inspect the control board: Check the control board for visible damage. Have it checked and replaced by an expert if necessary.
- Reset the washing machine: Plug the machine back into the power outlet and start a short wash cycle to see if the error has been resolved.
