Frequently Asked Questions - EW1551 ELECTROLUX
How do I clean the pump filter?
You should clean the pump filter every two months. Turn off and unplug the washing machine, open the lower kick panel, place a low container under the filter cap, turn the cap counterclockwise and remove it carefully. Clean out lint, coins and other debris, rinse the filter under running water, then reinsert and tighten the cap.
Why does the washing machine vibrate during a spin cycle?
Most often, vibration is caused by unbalanced loads or shipping bolts. Make sure the drum is not overloaded and that bulky items are mixed with smaller pieces. Also check that the machine is level and the locknuts on the feet are tightened. Remove any transit bolts if you have recently installed the unit.
Can I open the door during a washing cycle?
No. For safety, the door is locked from the moment the machine starts until the cycle is fully finished. If you need to stop the machine, press the Pause button, wait for the door lock indicator to go out, and then open the door. If the water level is high or the drum is hot, the door will stay locked until it becomes safe.
What does the door lock indicator light mean?
The indicator lights when the door is locked and the appliance is operating. It stays on during the spin and heating phases, and it stays on if the tub still contains hot water. Wait for the light to switch off before opening the door.
How do I fix the machine if it does not start?
Check that the door is fully closed, the selected program is set, and the Start/Pause button has been pressed. Verify the water tap is open and the supply hose is not bent. If nothing happens, make sure the electrical plug is connected and the fuse has not blown.
Is it safe to plug the washing machine into an extension cord?
Best practice is to plug it directly into a dedicated grounded outlet. An extension cord may cause voltage drop and overheating, especially during heating and spin cycles. Use a surge-protected cord with at least 1.5 mm2 cross-section only for temporary use, but a direct socket is always safer.
What is the maximum load for a cotton program?
For a standard cotton cycle, the maximum dry load is 5.5 kg. Do not overfill the drum, as this reduces washing efficiency, increases wear, and can trigger vibration faults. Wash heavy and light items together for better balance.
Why is there foam leaking from the detergent drawer?
Using too much detergent or the wrong type of detergent creates excessive foam. Stop the machine, run a rinse and spin cycle without detergent, and reduce the dose for the next wash. For front loaders, always use a low-sudsing detergent marked for automatic washing machines.
What should I do if the spin cycle is incomplete?
Check that the drain hose is not kinked and the pump filter is clean. If water remains in the tub, the machine cannot spin. Also, a large unbalanced load may cause the spin to stop earlier to protect the drum bearings. Rebalance the load and select the Drain or Rinse & Spin program.
What spare parts are commonly available for the EW1551?
Common replacement parts include the pump filter, drain hose, drive belt, door seal and water inlet valve. These are available from Electrolux service partners and online spare-parts suppliers. Always order using the model number EW1551 printed on the rating plate.
