Er13 explained
The control has lost its place in the state machine, which makes this a system wide fault rather than one component.

Action
Er13 is not an owner repair. If the dishwasher misbehaves, pull its plug and leave the tracing of the fault to a technician; nobody should open the machine while it is still connected.
For control faults like this, ring (415) 449-0036; the team serves San Francisco and the Bay Area, and Electrolux dishwasher repair covers the scope. Share the code, the model number and what you attempted.
Model compatibility: Electrolux reuses codes across series and model years, so Er13, Er 13 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
