Electrolux Dishwasher Error Code LD9+LD10 flashing

LD9+LD10 flashing indicates the Aqua-Control flood protection system has activated. A float switch in the base tray of the dishwasher has detected water accumulation, which signals a leak somewhere in the appliance. The dishwasher responds by stopping the program, closing the inlet valve, and running the drain pump for about 1 minute. The root cause, a physical water leak, must be found and corrected before the machine can operate normally.

Pressing the ON/OFF key (S0) after the drain pump cycle completes will clear the error code and allow the program to continue. However, if water is still present in the base tray or the leak has not been repaired, the float switch will remain elevated and the error will trigger again immediately. A lasting fix requires identifying and repairing the source of the leak first.

Repair costs vary depending on the cause of the leak. A door gasket replacement is typically a lower-cost repair, with parts generally ranging from $15 to $50 and modest labor if done professionally. An inlet valve or pump seal replacement can range from $80 to $200 or more depending on parts and service rates in your area. If the leak was caused only by incorrect detergent use, there may be no parts cost at all.

Start by pulling the dishwasher out from the cabinet and inspecting the base tray for visible water. Trace the source of the leak by checking the door gasket, all hose connections, the inlet valve, and the pump seals. Once the leak source is repaired and any standing water in the base tray has dried or been removed, press the ON/OFF key (S0) to clear the error and resume operation. Do not skip finding the root cause, as simply resetting without fixing the leak will cause the error to return immediately.

No, you should not continue operating the dishwasher while this error is active. The code indicates water is present in the base tray, which means there is an active leak. Continuing to run the appliance risks further water damage to surrounding cabinetry, flooring, and electrical components inside the machine. Address the leak before resuming use.
