Washer-dryer combo does not drain; water remains in drum and E2 is displayed.

Safety first: Unplug the appliance. Water may spill when opening filters or hoses; keep towels and a shallow pan ready.

• Access the drain filter: On most Danby combos, the drain pump filter is behind a small lower front access panel. Open it and slowly unscrew the filter cap, allowing water to drain into a pan.
• Clean the filter: Remove lint, coins, buttons, and debris from the filter and pump cavity. Spin the pump impeller with your finger; it should turn freely without grinding.
• Inspect drain hose: Check the rear drain hose for kinks, clogs, or freezing (in cold environments). Detach from the standpipe and blow through it or flush with water to confirm it is clear.
• Check pump wiring: With power still off, remove the lower front panel (if applicable) and inspect the drain pump wiring harness for loose connectors or burnt contacts. Reseat connectors firmly.
• Test the pump: If you have a multimeter, test the pump motor for continuity. An open circuit indicates a failed pump that must be replaced.
• Reassemble and test: Refit the filter, close the access panel, reconnect the drain hose, restore power, and run a drain/spin cycle. If E2 persists and hoses/filters are clear, replace the drain pump assembly.
