Gorenje washing machine E10 error
ErrorE10
Gorenje identifies E10 as a water-level-sensor error. The published first check is a safe isolation, drain, and accessible filter or trap inspection.
What the code means
The washing machine has detected a water-level sensor problem
Unplug the washer before draining or cleaning the pump filter. Do not open the sensor circuit or test internal wiring from E10 alone.
Typical symptoms
01E10 appears during a programme
02The water level may not behave normally
03The code returns after the washer is restarted
Likely causes
Start with the least invasive explanation and stop if the check requires internal electrical or sealed-system access.
01A water-level sensing fault
02A blocked washer filter or wall trap affecting draining
03A model-specific wiring or control fault
Safe next steps
- 1Record E10 and the complete model number
- 2Unplug the washer for at least one minute
- 3Drain the appliance safely and clean the accessible pump filter
- 4Check the visible wall trap or siphon for blockage
- 5Reconnect and run one controlled test; contact service if E10 returns
Step-by-step repair
- 1Gorenje's published user boundary is power isolation plus clearing the accessible drain path. Do not open or replace the level sensor, hose, or control component without exact-model diagnosis.
