Quick answer
EH2 — Electrolux washer code EH2 indicates supply voltage is too high.
Model compatibility: Electrolux reuses codes across series and model years, so EH2 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
An Electrolux washer displaying EH2 is reporting supply voltage is too high. Start with the simple checks that are safe to do from outside the appliance, then stop if the code returns. Do not replace parts from the code alone; use the full model number and the observed symptoms to confirm the cause.

Before you call
Safe checks you can make
These are simple, non-hazardous checks only. If anything is unclear, stop and contact a technician.
Turn the washer off and disconnect it from power.
Check whether the breaker has tripped or other appliances on the circuit are behaving abnormally.
Do not use an extension cord or power strip.
If the supply appears unstable or the code returns, have the electrical supply and washer checked.
Important safety warning. Stop if the breaker repeatedly trips, the outlet shows heat or damage, or other appliances on the circuit are also affected.

When to call a technician
