Electrolux Dishwasher Repair – Canton, OH (EWDW6505GS0)

We recently serviced an Electrolux dishwasher in Canton, OH that was giving an error code 001 about two minutes after starting the cycle. The customer had tried letting it dry out over the weekend and turning off the breaker, but the error persisted. Our diagnosis revealed a float switch issue caused by accumulated dirt.

The Problem

The dishwasher was giving an error code 001 about two minutes after starting the cycle. The customer left the washer open all weekend to hopefully dry it out, but it still gave the error. It had been about a week since it ran last. They had problems in the past if they tried to run two loads back to back, or too quickly together, and suspected a small leak was causing the issue. The dishwasher wouldn’t run regardless of how much time it was given to dry, and turning the breaker off for an hour didn’t work either.

Diagnosis

We found that the float for the float switch was filled with dirt. This debris prevented the float from operating properly, causing the error code 001 to trigger. The accumulated dirt was interfering with the dishwasher’s ability to detect water levels correctly.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: No parts needed
• Work performed: Cleaned out under float, leveled dishwasher
• Result: Error code resolved, dishwasher running normally

Is It Worth Repairing?

Electrolux dishwashers are generally well-built appliances, and this model represents good value when maintained properly. A simple cleaning repair like this makes perfect sense — no parts cost and the unit should provide years of reliable service. This type of maintenance issue is common and easily preventable with regular cleaning.

Maintenance Tips for Electrolux Dishwashers

• Check and clean around the float assembly monthly to prevent dirt buildup
• Ensure your dishwasher remains level — an unlevel unit can cause drainage and float switch problems
• Run a cleaning cycle with dishwasher cleaner monthly to remove soap residue and debris
