Error code77 77
ApplianceRefrigerator
Quick answer
77 77 is demo mode on Electrolux refrigerators, made for store displays. Unplugging the unit for 5 minutes clears it.
Model compatibility: Electrolux reuses codes across series and model years, so 77 77 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
77 77 means demo mode, so the components do not function.
If an Electrolux refrigerator shows 77 77, it is in demo mode. This mode exists for display units in a store, so the functional components stay off and the cabinet will not cool.
How to clear it
Unplug the refrigerator for 5 minutes, then plug it back in. According to the owner guide, this switches demo mode off.
If it does not clear
When 77 77 comes back, the guide tells owners of a unit installed within the past 30 days to go back to the installer. For a unit installed later, it says to contact Electrolux to schedule service.
Other display messages
Sb shows while Sabbath mode is on, which is a setting rather than a fault.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
