Electrolux Washer won't stop

If your Electrolux washer won't stop, keeps running, or is stuck on a cycle, check for water siphoning first. If the drain hose outlet is below the tub's water level, sealed tightly at the standpipe, or pushed too far down the drainpipe, water can leave the tub continuously and make the washing machine seem like it will not stop. Position the hose according to your model's requirements, typically 30 to 36 inches above the floor, with an air gap at the standpipe. If the washer drains normally but still will not stop, a defective control board is the next likely cause. Inspect the control board for burned areas or shorted components, though it cannot usually be tested easily. A faulty main control board can cause the same washer not stopping problem. Finally, the timer may be defective. Test it with a multimeter and the wiring diagram, then replace it if it fails. Enter your Electrolux washer's model number to find the exact replacement control board, main control board, or timer for your specific machine.

01 - Water siphoning from tub

If the water is siphoning from the tub the outlet end of the drain hose is likely lower than the water level in the tub. The drain hose should terminate between 30 inches to 36 inches (77 centimeters to 92 centimeters) above the floor, depending on the model, in a standpipe or laundry tub. If the drain hose is sealed at the top of the standpipe or excess hose is pushed too far down into the pipe, siphoning can also occur.

02 - Electrolux Washing Machine Control Board

If the washer can successfully drain the water from the tub then a defective control board could be responsible for the washer not stopping. The control board cannot be easily tested, but you can try to inspect it for signs of burning or a shorted-out component to help determine if the part should be replaced.
