Electrolux Washer E21 Error Code

VERIFIED

Error code E21
Appliance Washer

An Electrolux front-load washer showing E21 is draining sluggishly; Electrolux describes it as water not pumping out fast enough.

Work through these in order

  1. Follow the drain hose end to end for anything that restricts it; kinks cause it most often.
  2. See that hot water enters through the hot inlet and cold through the cold one, because crossed hoses are a recognised installation problem.
  3. Check that the drain hose is fitted as the use and care manual illustrates.

If the washer was only just installed or moved, the installer should verify the work.

If it carries on

If the washer is under 30 days old, the installer is who to go back to. Older than that, contact service.
