When an Electrolux dishwasher shows i10 or i11, it has not received enough water within the allowed time. Confirm first that the property has water and that the appliance tap is fully open. Electrolux proposes a simple pressure check: the same tap should fill a ten-litre bucket in about one minute. Other appliances drawing water at the same time can temporarily reduce flow. Inspect the external inlet hose for kinks, crushing, leaks or damage, then close the tap and unplug before cleaning the user-accessible inlet filter shown in the model manual. Do not dismantle the safety valve or cabinet. Reconnect securely and test a normal start once. If the code returns with adequate flow and a clear hose, an internal valve or sensor needs authorised diagnosis.
Models covered
Safety first
- Close the tap and disconnect power before touching the inlet connection; never test a damaged hose under pressure.
What the symptom may indicate
Checks in the right order
- Confirm household water
Open another tap first; if the property has no water, wait or contact the supplier.
- Open and flow-test the tap
Open fully and check whether it fills a 10-litre bucket in roughly one minute.
- Inspect the inlet hose
Check for kinks, crushing, leaks and damage; stop immediately if the hose is compromised.
- Clean the inlet screen
Close water, unplug and clean only the user-accessible screen specified in the model instructions.
Stop and get qualified help when
- Stop for leaking water, a damaged Aqua-Control hose, moisture near electrics or i10/i11 returning after verified flow and clean connections.
Next step
Repair, replace a part, or arrange a diagnosis?
Use the checks and stop conditions above to choose a cautious next step. A symptom alone never proves that the appliance has failed.
Resolve it without buying anything
Complete the 4 user-accessible checks in order. If normal operation returns and no warning sign remains, no replacement is indicated.
Replace only the confirmed part
If the checks isolate a worn or blocked component, match its complete reference to the exact appliance model before ordering.
This guide does not identify a replacement part. Do not order a generic component from the symptom alone.
Arrange a diagnosis before replacing the appliance
Stop at any warning sign listed above. A qualified diagnosis should confirm that repair is unsafe, unavailable or uneconomical before an appliance replacement is considered.
