Electrolux Washer Error Code E21

Encountering an E21 error code on your Electrolux washer? Fret not; we’re here to guide you through the troubleshooting process with practical DIY solutions. Error code E21 typically signals a drain fault, but fear not – with a bit of investigation and some elbow grease, you can get your washer back in action.

Understanding E21: The Drain Challenge:

When your Electrolux washer displays the E21 error code, it’s indicating an issue with drainage. The culprit could be anything from a blocked or damaged drain hose to a clogged filter. This hinders the smooth flow of water during the washing and draining cycles, leading to the error.

DIY Solutions for E21 Error:

1. Inspect Drain Hoses: Start by checking the drain hoses for any obstructions or kinks. Ensure they are properly connected and not damaged. A clear, unobstructed path is essential for efficient drainage.
2. Examine the Filter: The filter is a common hiding spot for debris and lint. Locate and inspect the filter for any accumulated gunk. Cleaning it regularly can prevent future drainage issues.
3. Check for Blockages: Trace the entire drainage path, from the washer to the external drain. Look for any foreign objects or blockages that might impede the water’s flow.
4. Verify Pump Functionality: If the hoses and filter appear fine, the drain pump might be the culprit. Test its functionality by running a short cycle and listening for unusual sounds. If it’s noisy or not working, a replacement may be necessary.

While the above DIY solutions cover common issues, sometimes a professional touch is needed. If you’ve followed the steps and the E21 error persists, it might be time to consult our expert technicians at Electrolux Appliance Support.
