Can't remember the exact error code, but my crosley front loader would not spin. I found out this was because all the water was not being pumped out. I wash a lot of dog blankets and found out the drain basket was completely blocked. I was able to remove and clean from the back and this fixed my problem. I guess it could be the pump but check this basket first. The way I did it from the back was hard so I suspect there is a better way to access the basket.

  • When the "F21" error code appears, try pressing "Pause/Cancel" to stop the current wash cycle. If water remains in the washing machine tub, touch "Drain/Spin" to force a secondary drain cycle to remove the water. Once all the water drains, try selecting a new wash cycle and pushing "Start."
Drain Hose
  • If the "F21" error code repeats after performing the reset, a problem exists with the drain system. Set towels on the floor to protect it from any water leaks, then disconnect the drain hose from the rear of the washing machine. Clean entrance to the hose out and shake the hose firmly to dislodge any clogs. When you reconnect the drain hose to the washing machine, straighten the hose out because bends in the hose might also cause a drain issue.
also check pump for clog.

Testimonial: "Thanks Dean! I did try restarting it but will give disconnecting the hose a try- I hate to just throw it away because I feel like it's just clogged somewhere.. You're suggestion makes me feel like I can figure it out :)"

SOURCE: crosley front load washer one year old. doored

your drain pump or hoses are blocked with foreign material,either coins,hairpins,detergent residue from earlier washings,remove the front lower access panel if provided to access the drain hoses and pump and also check the drain itself,some washers have the access door in the back side of the machine,if the stand pipe in the house is slow to drain it can back up and cause back pressure and the machine will sense this and stop also

Samsung front load washing machine 5E Error code

If your Samsung washer is in the middle of a drain cycle and the 5E error code shows on your washers display, it means that the water is not properly draining out of the washer. Something may be clogged, jammed, or blocked and thus preventing water from draining out of the washer.

Whirlpool front loader duet hd washer gets stuck in the wash cycle with the error code of F02. What is F02 mean?

Whirlpool Duet front-load washer F02 usually means it is taking over 8 minutes for the washer to sense that the rinse or wash water has drained, which either means that the drain/filter is clogged or the pressure switch/tube is clogged (causing both the washer to over-fill with water and not sensing that water has drained).

To clear out the drain/filter, tilt the washer backwards a little for easier to the kick-plate and support the front bottom with a wood block or similar, remove the front kick-plate's (3) retaining screws and swing the kick-plate up out of the way. The filter drain is behind the white knob in the center, be prepared with something to catch any remaining water and lots of towels to soak up any spills, and turn the knob counter-clockwise to remove the filter.

1 1/2 year old lg WM2496H showed oe error code while washing a heavy unbalanced load. I removed the wet blanket (sitting in water) and tried drain/spin command with empty washer but washer will not go into...

The LG error code OE simply means "the pump is blocked". Presumably the water isn't being emptied properly. As with all error codes it is possible that there is a cause other than the exact description in the error code explanation but basically this error means as far as the washing machine is concerned it thinks the water isn't pumping out. A pump, or filter blockage is the most common cause but it could be caused by other faults such as a faulty pump, or even a blockage in the drain hose or somewhere else in the system etc.


LG themselves have some information on this error code..

Whirlpool duet sport wfw8300sw00 f-21 error

Unplug the machine. Unscrew the 3 screws under the front edge of the washer. The service technician manual is attached to the panel that slides down and off. Find F21 code. See suggested procedures. Note: My drain pump filter had a baby wash cloth in it along with some change that was disrupting the flow. It is exceptionally easy to remove, clean, and reinstall. Just line up installation notches when reinstalling. Whirlpool should have mentioned this filter in the User & Care Guide, but I could not find it anywhere in there.
