Electrolux Dishwasher Error Code i10

The i10 code means the dishwasher did not reach the required water level within the allowed fill time. During static filling, the pressure switch must signal FULL within 90 seconds. During dynamic filling at 2800 RPM, it must signal FULL within 60 seconds. If either condition fails, the machine stops and displays i10 to prevent running dry.

No, you should not attempt to run the dishwasher while i10 is active. The machine has stopped the cycle because it cannot confirm adequate water is present, and running wash or drain components without sufficient water risks damaging the pump and heating element. Resolve the fill fault before restarting a cycle.

Repair costs vary widely depending on the faulty component. Replacing an inlet solenoid valve typically falls in the range of $60 to $150 including parts and labor. A pressure switch replacement is generally similar in cost. If the main control board requires replacement due to a failed triac, expect costs in the range of $150 to $350 or more depending on the model and labor rates in your area.

Some causes of i10 are straightforward to address without professional help, such as opening a closed water tap or cleaning a clogged inlet valve screen. If the fault lies with the pressure switch, wiring, or control board triac, those repairs require more technical skill, correct test equipment, and in some cases component replacement. If basic supply checks do not resolve the code, a qualified technician should inspect the electrical components.

A reset may clear the displayed code temporarily, but if the underlying fault is still present the error will return as soon as the next fill cycle begins. Resetting is useful for confirming whether the fault was a one-time event, such as a momentary pressure drop, but it is not a repair. Address the root cause before assuming the problem is resolved.
