Good Morning friend, thanks for your inquiry!

Based off the information you have provided your Electrolux frontload washer the door will not open and the timer is stuck. I would recommend performing a reset on your washer and you can do that by unplugging the power cord or flipping the household circuit off for ten minutes. If that does not help to resolve your issue I would suggest consulting with a professional technician for an accurate diagnosis. It could be a potential problem with your control panel or door latch assembly. I hope this information is helpful. -Matt

I have an Electrolux front loading washer. I just got done washing a load of laundry and the door will not unlock. I tried washing it for a second time thinking maybe it would open again. No luck.

I really did not fix the problem. I think the plastic linkage may have been broken and I was looking for a fixto open the door.

Thanks anyway,

SOURCE: Our Electrolux front loadeing washer wont drain,

Hello,
You will have to get the water out,down by the filter at bottom lhs see if there is a small rubber hose next to filter if there is it should pull out so far then you can remove the small plug on end to drain into a container.If no hose down then try putting the drain hose down to floor level into a bucket or out of an exit door to syphon out water.Or get machine filter by an exit door and release the filter plug and let water drain out.E21 means that there is either some blockage in the pump or the drain pipe may be kinked or blocked.

SOURCE: ge front loading washer door won't unlock

I had the same problem. I didn't want to spend the money or go to the trouble of replacing the whole latch assembly with the GE latch repair kit.
I found that the plastic latch piece screwed to the door had broken and one of the two latch "fingers" was stuck in one of the latch openings on the washer. I fixed the problem by removing the broken part from the washer and drilling and countersinking very small holes (1/16" I think) in the plastic latch piece on either side of the "latch finger". I then put the broken off piece back in place and drillled pilot holes for #4 sheet metal screws in the door where the latch is located. The door liner is plastic and I think I used a 1/32 inch drill bit. I reattached the broken latch piece with two 1/2 inch stainles steel #4 flat head phillips screws from Home Depot. The screws hold the broken latch piece in place as orinilally positioned.
The repair is working fine and the door now latches like it did before the latch part broke

Disconnect power supply. Remove top panel.

Set timer

Good Afternoon Faye, this is Z! Thank you for your post!

I see you are interested in how to set timer and delay start on your Electrolux washer. However, may I please have the model number? The serial tag, which lists your model number, is typically located on the upper front, as you open the door. With this information I provide you the correct instructions on how to do so. Thank you!

Not draining burning smell electrolux front load

Hello - Does the drain pump make a humming noise? If so, you possibly have a restriction in the drain line or siphoning. Try setting the cycle to spin only and verify if water pumps out. If it does not, the unit could possibly be experiencing an issue with the pump, door lock assembly or timer. Contact a professional to move forward accurately.

My electrolux ewf 1481 front loader wont spin

Open the flap, bottom right of the front panel and check the filter is clear. Most machines will not spin until they have expelled all the water. You may want to check the hose is not block and any connections to the sink if it's not on a standpipe.
Most new machines have quite sensitive out of balance detection so if it an odd load try again but add a few extra items to allow the machine to distribute the load evenly prior to spin. Hope this helps
