Why my Electrolux Washing machine does not start?
- T
  Traci ScottAug 12, 2025
  Your Electrolux washing machine might not be starting due to several reasons: the door may not be fully closed, so close the door firmly. The plug might not be properly inserted into the power socket, so insert the plug. There may be no power at the socket, so please check your domestic electrical installation. The Start/Pause button may not have been pressed, so press the Start/Pause button. Finally, the delay start may have been selected; if you want to wash immediately, cancel the delay start.

Why my Electrolux EWF 14012 is not filling with water?
- N
  Neil HayesAug 16, 2025
  If your Electrolux washing machine isn't filling with water, it could be because the water tap is closed, so open the water tap. The inlet hose might be squashed or kinked, so check the inlet hose connection. The filter in the inlet hose could be blocked, so clean the water inlet hose filter. Also, make sure the door is properly closed; close it firmly if it is not.

How to fix Electrolux EWF 14012 that vibrates or is noisy?
- L
  lutzkathleenAug 19, 2025
  If your Electrolux washing machine is vibrating or making a lot of noise, it could be due to several factors. The transit bolts and packing may not have been removed, so check the correct installation of the appliance. The support feet may not have been adjusted, so check the correct levelling of the appliance. The laundry might not be evenly distributed in the drum, so pause the machine and redistribute laundry manually. There might be very little laundry in the drum, so load more laundry. Finally, detergent over dose, so reduce the detergent quantity or use another one.

What to do if the door of my Electrolux Washing machine will not open?

  Kimberly KellyAug 23, 2025
  If the door of your Electrolux washing machine won't open, it could be that the program is still running, so wait until the end of washing cycle. The door lock may not have been released yet, so wait about 5 minutes. There might also be water in the drum, so select ‘Spin’ program to empty out the water.

  Michelle ButlerAug 27, 2025
  If the spinning cycle on your Electrolux washing machine starts late or doesn't spin at all, it's possible that the electronic unbalance detection device has been activated because the laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum. Pause the machine and redistribute laundry manually.

What to do if there is water on the floor from my Electrolux EWF 14012?
- M
  Mark TaylorAug 31, 2025
  If you find water on the floor near your Electrolux washing machine, it could be due to a few reasons. You might have used too much or unsuitable detergent, which creates excessive foam, so reduce the detergent quantity or use another one. Check the water inlet hose connection for leaks; look for dampness as water may run down the hose. Also, inspect the drain hose for damage and change it with a new one if needed.

Why Electrolux EWF 14012 fills then empties immediately?
- K
  Kathryn JohnsonSep 4, 2025
  If your Electrolux washing machine fills with water and then empties immediately, it could be because the end of the drain hose is too low. Also, the drain hose might be squashed or kinked, so check the drain hose connection. The drain pump could be clogged, so clean the drain filter. Another possibility is that the option ‘Rinse Hold’ or ‘No Spin’ has been selected, so disable the option and select spin program.

Why Electrolux EWF 14012 has unsatisfactory washing results?
- W
  Wendy CarlsonSep 7, 2025
  If you're getting unsatisfactory washing results from your Electrolux washing machine, it could be due to a few reasons. You might have used too little or unsuitable detergent, so increase the detergent quantity or use another one. Stubborn stains may not have been treated prior to washing, so use commercial products to treat the stubborn stains. The correct temperature may not have been selected, so check if you have selected the correct temperature. Finally, there might be excessive laundry load, so reduce load.
