Possible Causes
Shorted drain pump drawing excessive current, Damaged wiring harness to pump, Failed triac or driver circuit on main PCB, Moisture on control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance before inspecting electrical components.
- Inspect pump and wiring: Check the drain pump for signs of overheating or burning. Inspect the harness for melted insulation or shorts to chassis.
- Test pump current draw (advanced): Using a clamp meter and proper safety precautions, measure pump current during operation. Excessive current suggests a failing pump.
- Check control board: Remove the main PCB cover and look for burned components near the pump triac area.
- Replace faulty parts: If the pump is shorted, replace it and re-test. If the board is visibly damaged or E23 persists with a good pump, the main PCB will likely need replacement.
