i30 Water detected in base pan (leak protection)
What this code means
Electrolux's own support documentation defines i30 as water detected in the base pan by the flood-protection float switch — not a routine drain-timeout fault.
Most likely causes
- Slow leak from a hose or door gasket
- Prior overfill event that hasn't fully drained
- Condensation pooling in the base pan
What to try first
Check underneath the unit for standing water and dry the base pan before restarting; if water keeps reappearing, that points to an actual leak needing a technician.
Good news: this one is often fixable without a service call. If it persists after the steps above, have it looked at.
