What EtUb means on a Electrolux oven
The EtUb error code on an Electrolux oven indicates a boiler over-temperature condition, identified internally by the sensor designation TBOI (Temperature Boiler Input). When the boiler exceeds its safe operating temperature threshold, the appliance immediately halts the active cycle to prevent damage to internal components and potential safety hazards. This protective shutdown is triggered by the control board when the boiler temperature reading surpasses the configured BOT (Boiler Over Temperature) parameter value.
The most frequent root cause of this fault is insufficient water supply to the boiler. Without adequate water, the heating element rapidly raises the temperature of whatever residual liquid or scale remains, causing the sensor to register a runaway temperature spike. Limestone accumulation is another primary contributor: mineral deposits coat the heating element and boiler walls, insulating them from the water and causing localized overheating even when water is present. In some cases, the BOT parameter itself may be configured too low, causing the system to trip at temperatures that would otherwise be within a safe operating range.
Diagnostic approach depends on the model variant. For Digit-type models, the recommended starting point is allowing the boiler to cool completely, then running a full cleaning cycle using rinse and descale with two C25 tabs. For Touch-type models, the built-in Boiler Maintenance procedure should be performed instead. If descaling does not resolve the fault and the error returns, further investigation into water supply continuity, boiler sensor function, and BOT parameter settings is warranted.

Common causes of EtUb
- 01
Missing or insufficient water in boiler
Wiring / connectionIf the boiler does not have enough water during a cycle, the heating element overheats rapidly with no liquid to absorb the heat. Check that the water supply is connected and that the boiler is filling correctly before each cycle.
- 02
Limestone or mineral scale accumulation
Wiring / connectionHard water deposits build up on the boiler walls and heating element over time, reducing heat transfer efficiency and causing localized overheating. Running a descaling procedure with C25 tabs (two tabs for Digit models) is the primary remedy.
- 03
BOT parameter set too low
Wiring / connectionThe Boiler Over Temperature threshold (BOT parameter) in the control board settings may be configured below the actual operating temperature range, causing premature fault triggering. A technician would need to review and adjust this parameter through the service menu.
- 04
Faulty boiler temperature sensor (TBOI)
Part replacementIf the TBOI sensor is malfunctioning, it may report falsely elevated temperatures even when the boiler is operating normally. This would require testing the sensor output and replacing it if readings are inaccurate.
- 05
Blocked or failed water inlet to boiler
Part replacementA clogged inlet valve or failed solenoid can prevent proper water flow into the boiler, effectively replicating a low-water condition. Inspect the inlet valve for blockages or electrical failure if descaling does not resolve the fault.
