Electrolux Start Circuit / User Interface Fault

Washer powers on but will not start any cycle; Start button unresponsive or cycle cancels immediately.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Faulty Start/Pause button on UI, Child lock enabled, Door not detected as locked, Defective user interface board

Safety: Unplug the washer before removing the control panel.

Check child lock: Look for a key or lock symbol on the display. Disable child lock according to the user manual (often by holding specific buttons).
Confirm door lock: Ensure the door closes firmly and you hear the lock engage when starting a cycle.
Reset control: Disconnect power for 5–10 minutes, then reconnect and try again.
Inspect UI: If the Start button feels stuck or does not click, the UI board or button assembly may need replacement.
