Electrolux Washer - EC1 Error Code

The washer received an incorrect signal from the flow meter.

Meaning

The washer received an incorrect signal from the flow meter.

The Electrolux EC1 error code indicates that the washerโ€™s flow meter is sending incorrect, inconsistent, or out-of-range signals to the control board. The flow meter measures how much water enters the washer. If it detects too little, too much, or no pulses at all, the washer cannot determine the correct fill level and triggers EC1. This error is common on models with electronic flow meters rather than purely pressure-based fill systems.

Symptoms

  • Washer stops during filling
  • Washer overfills or underfills
  • EC1 appears early in the cycle

Causes

  • Faulty flow meter
  • Blocked or kinked inlet hose
  • Low water pressure
  • Wiring issues between flow meter and control board
