What the display is telling you
The user interface of the washer holds a selection table, and E86 says that table is incorrect.
Models and who handles it
The technical data documents E86 for Electrolux front-load washers in the current generation. Looking into selection settings and boards is a technician task, not something to attempt at home.
If E86 stays on your Electrolux washer, our team around San Francisco and the wider Bay Area takes the booking through Electrolux washer repair or by phone at (415) 449-0036. Keep the code, the washer model number and a short note of earlier attempts beside you.
Model compatibility: Electrolux reuses codes across series and model years, so E86 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
E86 means the user interface selection table is incorrect.
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.
