Electrolux Dishwasher Error Code i58

The i58 code means the dishwasher detected a fault in the wash pump motor connection based on current measurement. The control board monitors how much current the motor draws and triggers this code when the reading stays within plus or minus 21 milliamps for 1.5 seconds during operation. This indicates the motor is not receiving proper electrical input, which can be caused by a loose connector, damaged wiring, a lost supply phase, or a failed motor coil. The cycle stops and resets automatically when this fault is detected.

The dishwasher stops and resets automatically when the i58 fault occurs, so it will not continue running normally. Attempting repeated cycle restarts without addressing the underlying fault is not recommended, as it could worsen a wiring or connector issue. The appliance should be diagnosed and repaired before returning it to regular use.

Repair costs depend on which component is at fault. If only the connector needs reseating or cleaning, the cost may be limited to a service call fee, typically in the range of $75 to $150. A replacement wiring harness or wash pump motor will add parts costs, bringing the total to roughly $150 to $400 or more depending on labor rates in your area. A control board replacement is generally the most expensive scenario, often ranging from $250 to $500 or higher.

A knowledgeable DIYer can start by inspecting and reseating the wash pump motor connector, which is the most common cause of this fault. If the connector looks clean and secure, further diagnosis requires testing wiring continuity and motor winding resistance, which calls for a multimeter and some comfort working with electrical components. Replacing the motor or control board is more involved and may be better handled by a qualified technician.

A reset may temporarily clear the i58 code and allow the dishwasher to attempt another cycle, since the fault does trigger an automatic reset. However, if the underlying cause is not repaired, the code will return as soon as the control board detects the same abnormal current condition again. A reset is useful for confirming whether the fault is intermittent, but it is not a permanent solution.
