Risk level

Medium

Proceed carefully and stop if the check is unclear.

Urgency

High

Quick answer

On an Electrolux tumble dryer, EH0 (or EHO) means a power supply problem: voltage too low, too high or unstable. Test the socket with another appliance, remove any extension lead and reset by unplugging for 30 seconds.

Safety first

Stop and check this first

  • Do not connect the dryer to an extension lead or power strip: Electrolux warns of a short circuit or fire hazard.

Safe checks you can perform

  • Connection without an extension lead
  • Socket test with another appliance
  • 30 second reset
  • Home supply voltage measurement

Leave these tasks to a qualified professional

  • Do not attempt this professional task: Socket voltage measurement
  • Do not attempt this professional task: Dryer check with a correct supply

What a technician must be able to justify

Technician visit

These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.

These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.

  1. Socket voltage measurement

    What they doThe electrician uses a multimeter to measure the voltage at the dryer socket and checks the home circuit.

    They must show youthe voltage measured at the socket.

    In writingthe measured value, the state of the circuit and what was corrected.

  2. Dryer check with a correct supply

    What they doIf the wiring is fine, the Electrolux technician checks the dryer electronics that monitor the voltage.

    They must show youthe electronics reading and the electrician's report ruling out the wiring.

    In writingthe diagnosis, any replaced part with its reference and the reason, and a test with no code.

Before accepting a part or repair

Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.

Follow these steps

Note: Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.

  1. Connection without an extension lead

    No special tools

    Who:
    you, no tools.
    How:
    check the dryer is plugged straight into the wall, with no extension lead or power strip.
    Result that matters:
    a direct connection.
    If it was on an extension lead or strip:
    connect it directly to a suitable socket; Electrolux warns of a short circuit or fire hazard.
    If it was already direct:
    move on to testing the socket.
    Evidence to keep:
    a photo of the connection.

    Evidence: Tumble dryer displays error message EHO, EH0

  2. Socket test with another appliance

    No special tools

    Who:
    you, without opening anything.
    How:
    plug another appliance into the same socket and see whether it works.
    Result that matters:
    whether the socket supplies power normally.
    If the other appliance also misbehaves:
    the problem is the wiring; call an electrician.
    If it works:
    the socket does not look like the cause; reset the dryer.
    Evidence to keep:
    a note of which appliance you tried and what happened.

    Evidence: Tumble dryer displays error message EHO, EH0

  3. 30 second reset

    No special tools

    Who:
    you.
    How:
    unplug the dryer (or switch off its breaker) for 30 seconds, reconnect it and select a programme.
    Result that matters:
    whether EH0 comes back.
    If it does not:
    it was a one off dip; watch for repeats.
    If it returns with the socket checked:
    book Electrolux service.
    Evidence to keep:
    a note of date, time and whether other heavy appliances were on.

    Evidence: Tumble dryer displays error message EHO, EH0

  4. Home supply voltage measurement

    Tools required

    Who:
    an electrician.
    How:
    they measure the voltage at the dryer socket and check the wiring.
    Result that matters:
    whether the voltage is normal and stable.
    If the voltage is abnormal:
    the problem is the wiring or the grid, not the dryer.
    If it is correct and stable:
    the service technician must check the dryer.
    Evidence to keep:
    the electrician's report with the measured voltage.

    Measuring mains voltage is electrician work. Do not open socket boxes or the consumer unit yourself.

What it means

Electrolux defines EH0 on condenser and heat pump dryers as a problem with the power supply, such as too low or too high voltage or an unstable supply. The dryer control monitors the voltage it gets from the mains. The code points to the supply, which can fail at the socket, in the home wiring or on the grid, and it does not prove the dryer is faulty; if the socket is fine and the code stays, Electrolux refers you to a repair technician.

Warnings and stop conditions

  • Highsource verified

    Do not connect the dryer to an extension lead or power strip: Electrolux warns of a short circuit or fire hazard.

    Evidence: Tumble dryer displays error message EHO, EH0

Symptoms and causes

Probable causes · in order

  • Faulty socketPossible

    Told apart by plugging another appliance into the same socket: if it also misbehaves, the fault is in the socket or the home wiring.

    Evidence: Tumble dryer displays error message EHO, EH0

  • Extension lead or power stripPossible

    Electrolux says never to use an extension cable; if the dryer was connected that way, it is the first thing to remove.

    Evidence: Tumble dryer displays error message EHO, EH0

  • Unstable mains voltagePossible

    If the socket works for other appliances but EH0 returns now and then, the voltage may vary; an electrician confirms it by measuring.

    Evidence: Tumble dryer displays error message EHO, EH0
