Error codei50
ApplianceDishwasher
Affected model seriesEI24ID50Q family
Quick answer
Electrolux dishwasher code i50 indicates drain or wash motor problem detected.
Model compatibility: Electrolux reuses codes across series and control generations, so i50 may mean something different on another appliance or platform. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
Electrolux dishwasher code i50 points to drain or wash motor problem detected. The display narrows the diagnostic path, but it does not prove which component should be replaced. Use the observed symptoms and the full model number to confirm the correct diagnostic path.
For this control generation, the useful interpretation is specific: drain or wash motor problem detected. A symptom such as spray action may stop can fit more than one cause, including wash or drain motor problem or blocked pump path.
This code is documented for Electrolux dishwasher platforms including the EI24ID50Q family. Confirm the exact model before applying service-level diagnostics.

Turn the dishwasher off for several minutes.

When to call a technician
A recurring i50 motor code needs internal pump, wiring, and control diagnosis.
If the display comes back, record i50, the model number, and whether spray action may stop. Those details help the repair visit start with checks around wash or drain motor problem instead of a generic parts swap.
