Call us — we've seen most Electrolux codes in the field. transparent service-call pricing (applied to repair).

Error code meanings are based on field observation by our technicians. Some codes may indicate multiple underlying issues — a diagnostic visit confirms the root cause. We are an independent appliance repair service and not affiliated with Electrolux or its parent manufacturer. Codes shown reflect common scenarios across the Electrolux product line; specific behavior may vary by model year and configuration.

How our repair process works

Five steps from your first call to the warranty receipt. No surprises.

  1. 1

    Inspection

    Your technician examines the appliance, listens to your description, and notes the model + serial for parts lookup. Visual + audio-based diagnostics first — non-invasive.

  2. 2

    Diagnostics

    Targeted tests on the failing subsystem (compressor, control board, heating element, motor, etc.) to identify the exact root cause. You get a clear explanation, not jargon.

  3. 3

    Fix decision

    Up-front estimate before any work begins: cost, parts, and the realistic likelihood of success vs. recommending replacement on an old or uneconomical unit. You decide.

  4. 4

    Operational test

    After the repair we run the appliance through its normal cycle on-site — never "it should work now, call us if it doesn't." You sign off when it's actually working.

  5. 5

    Warranty + consultation

    Receipt with warranty terms in writing. Plus a quick walkthrough of how to extend the appliance's life (filter cleaning, drain maintenance, etc.) — included free.

Called Star appliance when our 5 year old Lg refrigerator went out. Had waited two days for lg to send a repair company out and the other company never showed up. I called star and Sean was at our house that afternoon. He dealt with lg, handled the warranty…

Sean was very knowledgeable and professional. He saved the day! Our dryer was no longer heating. He came out the same day and diagnosed a burnt out heating coil. He was able to get it replaced and back up and running in about an hour! Thanks again!
