IF0
Electrolux iF0 on a dishwasher: abnormal water level
Risk level
Low
Usually safe to check without specialist tools.
Urgency
Medium
Quick answer
Electrolux links iF0 (also iFo or iF1) to a water level problem. Unplug the dishwasher, clean all the filters, clear foam and debris from the sump and run a programme again. If the code comes back, book a repair.
Safety first
Stop and check this first
- Always unplug before taking out the filters: the sump holds water and the pump sits right below it.
Safe checks you can perform

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.
Level control diagnosis
What they doWith the appliance disconnected, the technician inspects the system that controls the water level and compares its readings with Electrolux specification.
They must show youthe reading or fault found, with a photo.
In writingwhat was checked, the result and the reference of any replaced part.
Check cycle
What they doAfter the repair, the technician lets a programme finish and checks iF0 does not return.
They must show youthe finished programme with no code.
In writingthe test and the date.

What it means
According to Electrolux, iF0 and iF1 mean the appliance has detected an abnormal water level condition in the tub. Unlike i10 (no water in) or i20 (no drain), Electrolux gives no more specific cause for iF0: its only home step is a reset by unplugging and cleaning the filters and sump of foam and debris. Electrolux notes that a code does not always mean a failed part. If it returns with everything clean, the code does not say what is wrong and a technician checks it.
Warnings and stop conditions

Symptoms and causes
Probable causes · in order
- Foam or dirt in the sumpPossible
It is the only thing Electrolux asks you to check at home. If there was foam or debris and the programme then finishes without iF0, this was it.

- Fault in the level systemPossible
If the code returns with a clean sump, the problem is inside the appliance. Electrolux names no part; a technician diagnoses it.
