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

This indicator combination signals an Aqua-Control error, meaning the float switch in the drip tray at the base of the dishwasher has detected standing water. The machine responds by stopping the current program, closing the water inlet valve, and running the drain pump for approximately 1 minute to remove the water. This is a safety feature designed to prevent flooding from an internal leak.

No, you should not continue using the dishwasher until the leak source is identified and corrected. The machine does stop itself and shut off the water inlet as a protective measure, but the underlying leak can worsen over time and cause water damage to cabinetry, flooring, or electrical components beneath the appliance. Address the root cause before restarting.

Repair cost depends entirely on what is causing the leak. If the fix involves cleaning a stuck float switch or correcting a detergent issue, there may be no parts cost at all. Replacing a door gasket typically falls in the range of $20 to $60 for the part, while a pump seal or hose replacement with professional labor can range from $100 to $250 or more depending on local rates and parts availability.

Start by allowing the automatic pump cycle to finish, then tip the machine slightly to help drain any remaining water from the base tray if needed. Inspect the interior for the source of the leak, checking hoses, the door seal, the pump area, and all water connections. Once the leak is identified and repaired and the tray is dry, press the ON/OFF key (S0) to clear the fault and resume the program.

Pressing the ON/OFF key (S0) after the pump-down cycle is the required step to clear the fault and resume the program. However, if the leak source has not been repaired, the float switch will detect water again during the next cycle and the error will return immediately. A reset alone does not resolve the underlying problem.
