Electrolux Washer - EF4 Error Code

The flow meter is not detecting water flow.

Meaning

The flow meter is not detecting water flow.

The Electrolux EF4 error code indicates that the washerโ€™s flow meter is not detecting water flow even though the inlet valve is open. This typically occurs when water pressure is too low, the inlet hose is blocked, or the flow meter has failed. EF4 is similar to EC1 but specifically indicates a lack of pulses rather than incorrect pulses.

Symptoms

  • Washer does not fill
  • EF4 appears immediately after starting
  • Washer stops early in the cycle
