Questions
about i40.

Can I clear i40 myself?
Take out the glass trap, rinse the filter, and clear the sump beneath it. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
What is the glass trap that Electrolux mentions for i40?
It is the filter assembly at the bottom of the tub where food residue collects. Taking it out and rinsing it, along with the sump below, is the fix Electrolux gives for i40.
Does Electrolux i40 mean the control board has failed?
No, i40 points at a clogged filter or sump. Book a visit only if it returns with a freshly cleaned trap.
