Electrolux Error Code OP
Sensor open circuit
Common Causes
- 1Broken sensor wire
- 2Disconnected sensor plug
- 3Sensor element failure
Step-by-Step Troubleshooting
- 1
Check sensor connector at main board — reseat and test
- 2
Measure sensor resistance — open circuit (OL/infinite) confirms break
- 3
Trace sensor wire from board to evaporator for physical damage
- 4

Pro Diagnostic Tip
OP and SH are complementary faults (open vs short); if sensor reads OL on multimeter, the element itself has failed — replacing just the connector will not fix it
