Onthejob5130 is right, the machine use E23 too tell you that the pump is obstructed.
before buying anythings, you have too check the manual too see if you didn't put it in factory test mode by accident. the manual is suppose to be under the top,(two screws on the back)
After that, second thing you have too do, remove the back (six screws) the drain pump is located under the the baril. there is a black rubber tube attached to it. In this tube, there is a basket that keed hard thing away from the pump. In my case, some hair pin pass the basket and block the pump rotor. The computer of the machine told me it was Error E23 but after cleaning, everything work like new!!

So try cleaning it yourself, it is easy even with basic skill. You will need a star screwdriver, a scare-screw driver, pliers.

Remember, better have the machine empty before doing anything, because you'll be working on the DRAIN LINE.

Hope that help someone.

I have an Affinity washing machine that shows an E23 error code.

Hello Robert Reische, thank you for your inquiry!

I understand that your Frigidaire washer is showing an "E23" error code. Based off the information I show "E23" stands for drain pump relay on board failed or wire off the pump. Which means you could have an issue within the main control board or wiring to pump. Since it could be any one of these underlying issues I would recommend having a technician come out to properly diagnose and repair your appliance. Hopefully this helps. -Matt

What does error code E23 on a frigidaire affinty front load washing machine mean

Good Morning Friend,

I understand you are receiving an E23 code on your Frigidaire Affinity washer, model# GLTF2940ES. The E23 code states that the drain pump relay on the control board has failed. This could also be a possible false code. I suggest resetting your appliance, by either unplugging it or shutting the power off at the circuit breaker, for 3-5 minutes. Restore power and start any cycle. I ask that you please follow up with a comment on the post, at your convenience, to advise if further troubleshooting is needed or if your appliances status has changed successfully. Hope this is helpful.

-Best Regards-

Hello Juan, thank you for your post!

If you are getting an error code E23, it usually means one of three things: your drain pump relay has failed, a wire may be disconnected from the pump, or your main control board possibly needs replacing. One of the best ways to determine if this is a false error code is to reset the power to your Frigidaire washer by either unplugging it or flipping off the breaker for about ten minutes. If the error code persists, it would be advisable to contact an experienced appliance repair tech to assist further.

Best regards - Z.

Filter replacement for frigidaire gltf2940es

Hello - The error code "E20" typically means the water is not draining properly or not pumping out fast enough. Does the washer making a humming noise? If so, either the drain hose may be kinked or the drain in the house is clogged. Once you have confirmed and cleaned the hose and issue continues contact a professional to move forward accurately. The unit may possibly have a faulty pump or control board.

Error code e20

Hello leah_mcmunn - the error code E-20 indicates that the water doesn't drain. This could be caused by either the drain hose is kinked or your household drain is clogged. If the drain pump is making a humming noise, check the restriction in the drain line. If not, then you might need to contact a professional to possibly replace the pump.

We have an Affinity ATF6000F washing machine that makes s horrible noise during the spin cycle and shuts off with water still in the basin. When we hit Start and Cancel at the same time we get code E23.

Hi,


The error E23 denotes the drain **** relay on control board is failed.


Check whether there is some lose connections in the wires if nothing lose connection is there then you need to replace the control board.

Water in the drum humming noise Code error e23 Kenmore washer

It sounds like your drain pump is blocked.

There should be a small door at the front of the machine. Open it and unscrew the coin trap (plunger) and see if there's anything stuck in there.

If not, then you will have to look under the machine and remove the drain pump manually to clear it.

Hope this helps!?
