What to check, in order
- Check for leaks
Especially the inlet hose connections.
- Drain the base tray
Disconnect the water and power. Tilt the machine back until there's 10 to 15 cm under the front kickboard, and hold it for 30 to 40 seconds so any water in the base runs out onto a towel laid behind the machine.
- Clean the inlet filters, check the door seal
Refit everything and try a cycle.

Quick answers
What does the Electrolux E30 error code mean?
The machine can't measure or monitor the water level properly. Too much foam, or a blocked pressure system, can cause it. It also shows as C3, or 3 beeps or flashes.
Can I fix Electrolux E30 myself?
Moderate (about 20 minutes). Start with: check for leaks; drain the base tray; clean the inlet filters, check the door seal. If it keeps happening.
Is Electrolux E30 worth repairing?
Worth fixing. Often it's foam or a small leak, and if it's the sensor, that's an inexpensive part.
