Report EF9 on (415) 449-0036 if it persists once the hoses are reversed. The San Francisco and Bay Area team will want the model number and a word about the swap; Electrolux washer repair has more.
Model compatibility: Electrolux reuses codes across series and model years, so EF9 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

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.
