I10
Electrolux i10 on a dishwasher: no water coming in
Risk level
Low
Usually safe to check without specialist tools.
Urgency
Medium
Quick answer
An Electrolux dishwasher shows i10 (or i11) when no water reaches it or it cannot detect the inflow. Open the supply tap fully and check that the inlet hose is not kinked. If the hose is damaged, unplug the appliance and shut off the water.
Safety first
Stop and check this first
- If the inlet hose is damaged, unplug the dishwasher before touching it and close the tap: it is water under pressure next to a mains powered appliance.

What a technician must be able to justify
A technician is coming
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.
Inlet valve check
What they doWith the appliance disconnected, the technician checks the inlet solenoid valve and its connection and measures against Electrolux specification for your model.
They must show youthe measurement against the manufacturer specification.
In writingwhat was measured, the result and the reference of any replaced part.
Fill test after the repair
What they doThe technician runs a programme and checks that the dishwasher fills without i10 returning.
They must show youa complete fill with no code.
In writingthe test, the result and the date.
Before accepting a part or repair
Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.
Checks and evidence, step by step
Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.
- 1
Supply tap and household pressure
No special tools
Procedure
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- switch the dishwasher off, open its supply tap fully and open another tap in the house. If you doubt the pressure, see whether you can fill a 5 litre bucket in 30 seconds, the test Electrolux suggests.
- Result that matters:
- knowing whether water arrives with enough pressure.
- If the tap was half closed and the programme fills once opened:
- that was the cause.
- If the bucket takes longer:
- the pressure is low; contact your water supplier, it is not a dishwasher fault.
- Evidence to keep:
- the bucket time and whether other appliances were using water.

Inlet hose
No special tools
Procedure
- Who:
- you, no tools.
- How:
- with the appliance off, follow the hose from the tap to the dishwasher and look for kinks, twists or cuts.
- Result that matters:
- a straight, undamaged hose.
- If it was kinked and water flows once straightened:
- that solves it.
- If you see a cut or crack:
- unplug now, close the tap and call an engineer; do not use it.
- Evidence to keep:
- a photo of the hose.

Inlet connector filter
No special tools
Procedure
- Who:
- you, following the manual.
- How:
- close the tap, unscrew the hose at the tap end and take out the filter in the connector; clean it and refit it.
- Result that matters:
- a clean filter without scale.
- If it was scaled and the programme starts after cleaning:
- that was the cause.
- If it was clean and i10 returns:
- check the filters and drain hose height in the manual; if it persists, book a repair.
- Evidence to keep:
- a photo of the filter before and after.

What it means
According to Electrolux, i10 and i11 point to a water inlet problem: the dishwasher is not getting enough water or cannot detect the incoming supply. Electrolux lists a closed tap, low household pressure, several appliances drawing water at once, a kinked or damaged inlet hose and a scaled inlet hose filter. It also asks you to check the filters and drain. The code does not name a failed part: if all of that is fine and it persists, a technician is needed.
Warnings and stop conditions
- Mediumeditorial warning
If the inlet hose is damaged, unplug the dishwasher before touching it and close the tap: it is water under pressure next to a mains powered appliance.

Symptoms and causes
Probable causes · in order
- Closed tap or low pressureCommon
Electrolux lists a supply tap that is not fully open and low pressure. The bucket test separates them: if you cannot fill 5 litres in 30 seconds from one tap, the pressure is too low.
Evidence: Dishwasher displays error code i10, i11, AL5, C1, beeps once, or the warning light flashes once
- Kinked or damaged inlet hosePossible
You can see it. A kink is fixed by straightening the hose; damage is not a home fix: Electrolux says to unplug, shut off the water and have an engineer inspect it.
Evidence: Dishwasher displays error code i10, i11, AL5, C1, beeps once, or the warning light flashes once
- Blocked inlet hose filterPossible
The filter sits in the connector next to the tap. If it shows scale or dirt when you clean it and the programme then starts, that was the cause.
Evidence: Dishwasher displays error code i10, i11, AL5, C1, beeps once, or the warning light flashes once
