Electrolux Dishwasher Error Code i62

The i62 code indicates that one or both heater relays on the main circuit board have failed. This fault is specific to older Electrolux dishwasher platforms. When this code is triggered, the dishwasher disables the heating function for the remainder of the cycle and stores the alarm in memory. The code is only visible when the machine is accessed in service mode.

The dishwasher will continue to operate with the i62 code active, but the heating circuit is disabled, so water will not be heated and the drying cycle will not function properly. There is no immediate safety hazard from continuing to run the machine, but dishes will not be sanitized by heat and may not dry adequately. Scheduling a repair promptly is advisable.

Resetting the dishwasher will not resolve the i62 error because the fault is a physical failure of the relay components inside the circuit board. The alarm is stored in the machine's memory and will remain or return after a reset since the underlying hardware problem has not been corrected. Clearing the code requires replacing the faulty circuit board assembly.

The required repair is replacement of the circuit board assembly, which involves working with electrical components inside the dishwasher. Experienced DIYers who are comfortable with appliance disassembly and electrical safety precautions can attempt this repair. However, because the fault is internal to the board and requires service mode access to confirm, many homeowners prefer to have a technician handle it.

Repair costs depend on the specific circuit board part and labor rates in your area. Circuit board replacements for dishwashers typically range from around $150 to $400 or more when parts and labor are combined. Getting a quote from a local appliance repair technician is the best way to get an accurate estimate for your specific model.
