E21: Draining problem
E21
Drain pipe blocked, Drain pump defective or rotor locked, Pressure Sensor
defective or blocked, Drain pump is not energized (wiring or main board).
Checks to perform:
Replace the Main Control Board and repeat the Diagnostic Cycle to check for any further alarms.
WARNING
Check that all the connectors are correctly inserted
Is the drain pipe clean? (Check for blockage)
Clean Drain pipe and repeat the Diagnostic Cycle to
check for any further alarms.
Is the drain pipe positioned correctly and not causing the
siphon effect? (See Fig.1)
Repair the drain circuit and repeat the Diagnostic Cycle
to check for any further alarms.
Is the resistance
measurement of the pump
approximately 12Ω to 17Ω
? (Measure it directly on the
circuit board side between
terminals J15-3 & J15-4)
(See Fig. 2)
Is the resistance measurement of
the Drain pump approximately 12Ω
to 17Ω? (Measure it directly on the
pump) (See Fig. 3)
Replace the Drain pump and repeat
the Diagnostic Cycle to check for any

Check / Replace the wiring and repeat the Diagnostic Cycle to check for any further alarms.
Is the Drain pump rotor
mechanically blocked or
damaged?
Clean / Replace the Drain Pump and repeat the Diagnostic Cycle to check for any
further alarms.
Is the frequency of Pressure Sensor between 45 Hz to 45.5
Hz? (Measure it on the Pressure Sensor wiring connector in
Main Control Board when machine is powered with empty
tub (No water)) (See Fig.4)
Replace Pressure Sensor and repeat the Diagnostic
Cycle to check for any further alarms.
