• Check your home's circuit breaker panel and ensure the breaker serving the washer is in the ON position; reset it by switching OFF for 30 seconds then back ON
• Inspect the entire drain hose from the back of the washer to the drain outlet for kinks, bends, or compression; straighten any kinked sections
• Verify the drain hose is not inserted too far into the standpipe or household drain, which can create a siphon; the hose should sit 4-6 inches above the drain opening
• Check that the drain hose is securely connected to both the washer outlet and the household drain; tighten any loose hose clamps
• Remove and inspect the accessible drain filter (if your model has a cleanout port near the bottom front) for lint and debris buildup; clean thoroughly
• Ensure your household drain line is not clogged by running water from a sink or tub; if slow draining occurs, contact a plumber
• Verify the washer is not overloaded; remove excess laundry and retry the cycle with a smaller load
• Confirm the washer door is fully closed and the door latch clicks securely into place
• Power reset the washer by turning off the circuit breaker for 60 seconds, then turning it back ON; run a test cycle to see if the error clears
• Check that both hot and cold water supply valves behind the washer are fully open, as low water pressure can affect drain pump function
