I am having problems with an electrolux 12680 W. PNC 914522501 2007 production yr. It was making a strange sound and not pumping out water. No problem, I removed the front plug and cleaned out around the impellor. Now there is no water from the intake, it makes a constant sound as if the drain pump is running and if I put water into it manually it pumps it straight out. If I let it run through its 2 min drain cycle at the end of the cycle it will give an error beep with error code of E20.

    Hey thanks for the reply I pulled the tube from tub to pump with out seeing any filter just a white plastic ball in the black tube with some quarter sized coins and a plastic star about the size of a half dollar. I don´t know how it got there but I cleaned it out. there is a split off that goes to the side of the drum attached to an empty cylindrical plastic holding tank that has a small black rubber tube going to the top of the machine and attaches to a switch, I am guessing. When it drains water that I put in manually it pumps out extremely well, fast and efficient. Which means that if I put water to normal operating level and turn it on it will pump out in normal time as when the machine was working properly

The hose coming from tub to the pump has a filter in it.you need to pull filter out and empty it.E20 means that you have a slow drain,or clog.If the pump is noisier than ussual then you may need to replace pump.but check filter first.

My electrolux washing machine displayed E1 error and no water will go in? what to do with this?

Is the pump making a humming sound? If you can answer yes, than it could be just a restriction in the drain line. If you do not hear a humming sound you may have a bad pump or timer. If all of these suggestions pan out and the problem still persists, think about what may have happened prior to this occurrence. For instance, did you notice any error codes, odors, or other strange functions prior to this issue?

What does code E1 mean?

Hi Alan, I understand that your washer is not draining. Is the pump making a humming sound? If you can answer yes, than it could be just a restriction in the drain line. If you do not hear a humming sound you may have a bad pump or timer. If all of these suggestions pan out and the problem still persists, think about what may have happened prior to this occurrence. For instance, did you notice any error codes, odors, or other strange functions prior to this issue? If you are still having these issues and can think of anything in particular, please feel free to reconnect. Hope this helps! -JK

The main microwave source element has degraded. The cost to repair is more than the cost of a new replacement oven.

My Electrolux EW23CS65GS1 model JCD-23 the freezer makes a strange noise at the rear it sounds like it comes from inside what is it and what can I do?

Thanks for your post, Rob Muzich!
From the information you have provided your Electrolux refrigerator is making a strange noise at the rear. Depending on what type of noise you are hearing it could be a normal operating sound. In the manual it provides a list of sounds on page 23. I have included a digital copy of the manual for you to review. If you need any additional assistance please feel free to reconnect. -Matt

My pump is 3 years old. I replaced the shaft seal assembly and now the motor is making a strange sound (much quieter than normal) and shutting off every minute or so. There is no pressure on the filter and...

Sounds like the motor is not turning. Check your impeller and motor to see if it spins freely by hand.

If not then you either have something stuck in the pump or the bearings are bad. If it is freely spinning, check your start capacitor
