Electrolux dishwasher
showing Hd

Hd or HO on an Electrolux is a heat delay: the cycle pauses while water warms to the temperature it needs.

Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from Electrolux's own guidance for Hd on its dishwashers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Give it time; the wait grows with colder inlet water.

02

Before the next load, run hot water at the sink until it comes out hot.

03

Book a visit only if the pause never ends.

Cleared?

No part needed replacing. If the next full cycle still stops partway or leaves water in the tub, treat that as a new problem.

What not to do

Nothing is broken when Hd appears; Electrolux treats it as a mode.

What you may
notice with it.

The dishwasher problem Hd tends to arrive with. Answer these at the dishwasher before anyone is booked.

All problems

No repair indicated

Nothing to repair.

A setting someone turned on, or a reminder the machine shows on purpose — a control lock, a demo mode, a rinse-aid prompt. Nothing is broken and no part is needed.

In Electrolux's own words

This delay is to allow the dishwasher to heat the water to the optimal temperature for best performance.
Electrolux owner support: Dishwasher Error Code Hd or HO

Every code on this site is taken from the manufacturer's documentation, never from a forum or a parts listing. Electrolux's US owner-support articles for its dishwashers; Frigidaire publishes the same list for its own models.

Questions
about Hd.

Can I clear Hd myself?
Give it time; the wait grows with colder inlet water.
How long can the Hd pause last on an Electrolux?
It depends on how cold the incoming water is; colder water means a longer wait. Running the sink's hot tap before starting shortens it.
Is Electrolux HO the same as Hd?
Yes, both show a heat delay while the water warms. A pause that goes on indefinitely is the only reason to call about it.

Still showing Hd?

Book with the characters exactly as shown, the full model number, and whether any water is on the floor — for a code, that is where the diagnosis begins.
