Is your Electrolux washing machine beeping? Here are the issues to look for…
1. Error Code

2. Machine Is Unbalanced
If your washing machine goes out of balance, it can cause the appliance to keep beeping. Here are the issues to look for if your Electrolux washing machine is going out of balance…
Uneven Legs
Your washing machine will go out of balance if the legs are uneven. Make sure your washing machine stands on a firm, even surface. To help ensure that your machine is balanced, use a spirit level tool.
If you notice that the legs aren’t properly balanced, carefully tip the washing and place a support underneath (get someone to help you hold the machine if needed).
Using channel lock pliers, adjust the legs as needed. Set your washing machine back onto its feet, then use the spirit level tool once more.
Unhooked Suspension Spring
Another thing you should check if your machine is going out of balance is the suspension springs.
Take the top panel off the machine and ensure that both springs are attached to the tub. If one of the springs has come off as a result of improper installation, you’ll need to fix it. Here’s how to do this…
Step 1. In order to prevent electrical damage, ensure that your washing machine is disconnected from the outlet before starting this repair.
Step 2. With a Philips screwdriver, remove the screws holding the top panel to the machine. Slide the top panel backwards, then lift it off the machine.
