  If your Electrolux Washer/Dryer is vibrating or noisy, ensure that the transit bolts and packing have been removed and that the support feet are properly adjusted. Make sure the laundry is evenly distributed in the drum; if not, pause the machine and redistribute it manually. Also, ensure you are not using too much detergent. If the floors are unstable, refer to the relevant paragraph in the 'Positioning' section.

  If your Electrolux Washer/Dryer door won't open, wait until the washing cycle is complete or about 5 minutes for the door lock to release. If there is water in the drum, select the ‘Spin’ program to drain it. If the issue persists, it could indicate a failure, and you should read carefully “Emergency door opening”.

  If your Electrolux Washer/Dryer isn't starting, make sure the door is firmly closed, the plug is properly inserted into the power socket, and the Start/Pause button has been pressed. Also, check your domestic electrical installation to ensure there is power at the socket. If a delayed start is set, cancel it to begin the wash cycle immediately.

Why does Electrolux EWW12742 display time is frozen at the end of drying cycle?
- B
  Brenda BennettSep 12, 2025
  This is a normal behavior of the Electrolux Washer/Dryer and not a cause for concern as it does not compromise its performance. The machine is optimizing the drying cycle according to the laundry type and load size. It will vary for each kind of fabric as the water absorption is different.
