Electrolux Dishwasher Error Code i60

The i60 code means the dishwasher detected water temperature above 78°C, or it found that the water was not heating at the required rate during a wash cycle. When either condition occurs, the machine stops the current cycle and runs the drain pump to remove the water. The fault points to the heating circuit, temperature sensor, water circulation system, or control board.

No, you should not continue running the dishwasher while the i60 fault is active. The code indicates a real or detected overheating condition, and running the appliance without resolving the underlying cause risks damage to internal components, wiring, or seals. The machine will also stop mid-cycle and drain anyway, so completing a wash load is not possible until the fault is cleared.

Repair costs vary depending on which component has failed. Replacing an NTC sensor or safety thermostat is generally on the lower end, typically in the range of $75 to $175 including parts and labor. A heating element replacement may run $100 to $250 depending on parts cost and labor rates in your area. Main control board replacement is usually the most expensive repair, often falling in the $200 to $400 range or higher depending on the specific model.

Some causes of i60 are accessible to a knowledgeable DIYer, such as clearing a blocked wash pump impeller or checking wiring connections to the NTC sensor. However, testing component resistance values, replacing the heating element, or diagnosing the main control board typically requires a multimeter and comfort working with electrical components. If you are not confident working around live appliance circuits, a qualified technician is the safer choice.

A power reset may clear the code temporarily and allow the dishwasher to start a new cycle, but if the underlying fault persists, the i60 code will return. Resetting without diagnosing and repairing the root cause is not a reliable fix. The code will continue to appear until the defective component, wiring issue, or circulation problem is properly addressed.
