What Does Error Code i60 Mean on a Electrolux Dishwasher?

Water heating fault — water not reaching target temperature.

The control board monitors the flow-through heater and NTC temperature sensor during the main and rinse phases. The i60 fault fires when water fails to reach its target temperature within the allotted time, or when the sensor returns a resistance value outside its plausible range. This distinguishes it from purely sensor-focused faults and from fill or drain codes; here the board specifically flags inadequate or unverifiable heating in the wash tub.

Models affected: Electrolux built-in dishwashers with a flow-through (in-line) heater, including models such as the EI24ID30QS
What owners report: Owners commonly report this code late in a cycle after noticing dishes come out cool, cloudy, or poorly cleaned and cycles running unusually long. It's sometimes falsely triggered by a marginal fill that leaves the heater partly uncovered, so confirming a full fill is a common quick check before replacing parts.

What Causes Error Code i60?

Here are the most common causes in order of frequency. Start with the most likely cause before moving to the next:

  1. 1
    Failed heating element/flow-through heater 45% of cases
  2. 2
    Faulty temperature sensor (NTC) 25% of cases
  3. 3
    Heater relay failure on the control board 20% of cases
  4. 4
    Low fill preventing the heater from covering 10% of cases

How to Fix Electrolux Dishwasher Error Code i60

🔧🔧🔧 Advanced DIY Est. time: 1–3 hours
⚡ Safety first: Unplug the appliance before opening any panels or touching internal components.
  1. 1

    Test the heater

    Power off and measure the flow-through heater element — roughly 10–30Ω is normal; open circuit means replacement.

    🔩 Electrolux heating element ($60–$130)
    ⚠️ Turn off power at the breaker — the heater runs on mains voltage.
  2. 2

    Test the NTC sensor

    Measure the temperature sensor and compare against the resistance chart in the service sheet.

    🔩 Electrolux NTC sensor ($15–$35)
  3. 3

    Replace the control board

    If heater and sensor test good, the heater relay on the board has failed.

    🔩 Electrolux dishwasher main control board ($130–$250)

How to Reset Error Code i60

Turn off power for 5 minutes and run a hot cycle to confirm the fault.

Note: If the error returns after resetting, the underlying issue has not been resolved. Work through the fix steps above.

When to Call a Professional

Heater circuit diagnosis involves mains voltage — call a pro unless you're comfortable with a multimeter and breaker safety.

Average professional repair cost for this issue: $200–$420

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I keep using my Electrolux Dishwasher when error i60 appears? +
You often can for a cycle or two, but the heating issue behind i60 will keep interrupting normal operation until it is fixed. Plan the repair rather than ignoring the code.
What most commonly causes i60 on a Electrolux Dishwasher? +
Across reported Electrolux dishwasher repairs, the most frequent is failed heating element/flow-through heater (45% of cases), faulty temperature sensor (NTC) (25%), then heater relay failure on the control board (20%). Check them in that order before replacing any parts.
i60 keeps coming back after a reset — what should I check next? +
A reset only clears the stored i60 fault; if it returns, the heating problem is still present. Move on to the physical checks — test the heater, then test the NTC sensor — since the code will reappear until the root cause is resolved. This is an advanced repair involving deeper disassembly or electrical testing.
How much does it cost to fix Electrolux Dishwasher error i60? +
A DIY repair typically runs $15–$250 in parts, versus $200–$420 for a professional service call, so handling it yourself saves around $185. Expect the work to take 1–3 hours.
Which Electrolux Dishwasher models show error i60? +
i60 is documented on Electrolux built-in dishwashers with a flow-through (in-line) heater, including models such as the EI24ID30QS. Other units sharing the same control platform can display it too, so the fixes here generally transfer across the series.
