Electrolux Dishwasher Error Code LD9:off LD10:on LD11:off

This error code indicates a discharge pump error where the pressostat has not returned to its baseline position after two pumping cycles. In practical terms, the dishwasher attempted to drain twice and the pressure sensor never confirmed successful drainage. The machine stops the program to avoid a potential overflow or pump damage. The most common cause is a clog in the filter, pump, or drain hose.

Pressing the ON/OFF key (S0) is the designated way to resume the program after addressing the drain issue, but it will not permanently clear the error if the underlying cause is still present. If the drain path is not cleared or the faulty component is not repaired, the dishwasher will generate the error again during the next drain cycle. A reset only allows the program to continue once you have corrected the problem.

If the cause is simply a clog in the filter or drain hose, the repair can be done at no cost beyond your time. If a component has failed, replacement parts and labor costs will vary: a pressostat typically costs between $20 and $60 for the part, while a drain pump motor can range from $40 to $120 or more. Professional labor charges on top of parts typically add $80 to $200 depending on your location and the technician.

Start by removing and cleaning the drain filter assembly, then inspect the pump impeller area for debris or obstructions. Check the drain hose for kinks or clogs and verify that the sink drain or garbage disposal it connects to is clear. Once the drain path is clear, press the ON/OFF key (S0) to resume the program. If the error returns, the pressostat or drain pump motor may need further testing and possible replacement.

It is not advisable to continue running the dishwasher while this error is active. The control board halts operation precisely to prevent standing water from overflowing or the drain pump motor from running dry and overheating. Address the drain blockage or component fault before resuming normal use to avoid water damage to the unit or your kitchen.
