Possible Causes
Shorted drain pump causing triac damage, Faulty main control board triac, Wiring short between pump and PCB, Water ingress on PCB
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer. Electronic repairs involve live circuits—if unsure, contact a professional.
- Inspect drain pump: Check the pump for signs of burning, melted plastic, or a burnt smell. Replace the pump if damaged.
- Check wiring harness: Follow the wires from the pump to the main PCB. Look for chafing, pinched sections, or exposed copper. Repair or replace damaged wiring.
- Examine control board: Remove the control panel housing and inspect the PCB for burnt spots near the pump triac area. If present, the board must be replaced.
Because E23 often indicates board-level failure, replacing both the pump (if suspect) and the main PCB may be necessary.
