What the LD9+LD11 flashing error code actually means

Your Electrolux dishwasher has detected that the pump responsible for circulating water during the wash cycle is sending signals when it should be completely off. This points to a failed electronic component on the main control board that is supposed to control when the pump runs. The dishwasher has shut down to prevent further damage and is asking you to restart it, but if the error keeps coming back, the control board likely needs to be replaced.

Questions people ask about LD9+LD11 flashing

What does LD9+LD11 flashing mean on a Electrolux dishwasher?
LD9+LD11 flashing indicates a recycling pump triac short circuit on the main control board. The dishwasher's control system is detecting tachometer signals from the recycling pump even though the board has not activated the pump, which means the triac controlling the pump is stuck in a conducting state. This is a hardware-level fault that most commonly requires control board replacement.
Is it safe to keep using my dishwasher when the LD9+LD11 error is showing?
It is not advisable to continue using the dishwasher while this error is active. A shorted triac means the recycling pump may run outside of its intended operating parameters and outside of the control board's command, which can lead to overheating or further electrical damage. Stop using the appliance and have it inspected before running another cycle.
How much does it cost to repair the LD9+LD11 error on an Electrolux dishwasher?
Repair costs will vary depending on your region and whether you use a professional technician or perform the repair yourself. A replacement main control board for an Electrolux dishwasher typically ranges from $80 to $250 or more for the part alone. With professional labor added, total repair costs can range from $150 to $400 or higher depending on the technician's rates and your specific model.
Will resetting my Electrolux dishwasher clear the LD9+LD11 error?
Pressing the ON/OFF key to restart the dishwasher may clear the error temporarily if it was caused by a transient electronic event. However, if the error returns after restarting, it indicates a genuine hardware fault, specifically a shorted triac on the control board, which will not be resolved by resetting alone. Repeated occurrences are a strong sign that the control board needs to be replaced.
How do I fix the LD9+LD11 error on my Electrolux dishwasher?
Start by pressing the ON/OFF key to restart the machine and observe whether the error returns. If it recurs, inspect the wiring harness between the control board and the recycling pump for visible damage, shorts, or loose connections. If the wiring is intact, the fault most likely lies with the main control board, which will need to be replaced. Contact Electrolux Customer Support for further diagnosis and to obtain the correct replacement board for your model.
