Electrolux Dishwasher Error Code iB0

The iB0 code indicates a turbidity sensor calibration problem. On older models, it means the sensor did not complete calibration within 15 seconds at cycle start. On newer models, it signals a general calibration error not covered by more specific codes. The 'B' may appear as 'H' on some displays, so the code could show as iH0.

Yes, the dishwasher is designed to continue operating when iB0 is detected. It defaults to the highest soiling level setting and completes the cycle normally, so there is no immediate safety concern. However, ongoing use without repair may result in higher water and energy consumption than necessary.

If only cleaning the sensor or reseating a connector is required, the repair can be done at no parts cost. Replacing a turbidity sensor generally falls in the range of $30 to $80 for the part, plus labor if a technician is needed. If the control board is at fault, costs are typically higher, often ranging from $150 to $350 depending on the model and service rates in your area.

In many cases, yes. Start by inspecting the turbidity sensor for grease or mineral buildup and clean the sensor face if it appears fouled. Also check that the sensor's wiring connector is fully seated and free of corrosion. If cleaning and reseating the connection resolve the issue, no parts or professional service are needed.

A reset may clear the code temporarily, but if the underlying sensor or wiring issue is not resolved, iB0 will return at the next cycle when calibration is attempted again. A reset alone is not a fix and should be followed by a proper inspection of the turbidity sensor and its connections.
