Possible Causes

Failed drain pump relay on main PCB, Shorted drain pump causing board damage, Loose wiring harness to drain pump, Burned connector at control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the appliance before accessing internal wiring or control boards.

  • 1. Inspect pump wiring: Remove the rear or lower front panel. Locate the drain pump and check the wiring harness and connectors for burns, looseness, or corrosion.
  • 2. Test pump resistance: Using a multimeter, measure the resistance across the pump terminals. Compare to Electrolux specifications (typically in the tens of ohms). An open or shorted pump must be replaced.
  • 3. Check for board damage: Access the main control board (usually behind the top or rear panel). Look for burned spots or damaged components near the pump relay/triac area.

If wiring and pump test good but E23 persists, the main control board is likely faulty and should be replaced by a qualified technician due to the complexity and need for correct part matching.
