E21 error affinity - Frigidaire ATF6000ES Front Load Washer

i only find e21 error for hoover washers...

Hello Deena,
Error Code e21 means the water is not pumping out fast enough.The most likely reason is because the washer drain filter is clogged.
Here is a solution:

1. Pull the machine out from the wall.
2. Then take the panel out in the rear. Once the panel is off you will see the drain pump.
3. Disconnect the drain Tube between the Tub and the Pump.
4. Look inside the pipe you will find the Drain Filter.
5. Clean the filter out ( you will be surprised of "things" found in the filter) then put the machine back together
6. Try a full cycle.

That should end your problem.
Best of Luck!

Good Morning Friend,

I understand you are receiving an E21 code on your Frigidaire Affinity washer, model# ATF7000E, and it is not draining. The E21 code can possibly mean that the water is not draining out fast enough. Please check the drain hose for any kinks or clogs. Also, make sure that your home's drain pipes are not clogged as well. This could also be a false code. Try resetting your appliance, by either unplugging it or shutting the power off at your home's circuit breaker, for 3-5 minutes. Sometimes there can be a miscommunication between the different boards inside your appliance. Restore power and start any cycle. I ask that you please follow up with a comment on the post, at your convenience, to advise if further troubleshooting is needed or if your appliances status has changed successfully. Hope this is helpful.

Good Morning Friend, this is Z. That's a great question!

If you are getting an error code E21, it usually means that your washer is not pumping out water fast enough. First, check the drain hose for any restrictions or kinks. If you have check the hose and it appears to be clear and free, then potentially the underlying issue may be the main control board or pump. Generally it is a good idea to have a professional take a look at it to get to the root cause. Cost of parts and technical expertise entailed in these types of replacements can be a bit tricky.

Best regards!

Hello - The error code "E21" typically means the water is not draining properly or not pumping out fast enough. Does the washer making a humming noise? If so, either the drain hose may be kinked or the drain in the house is clogged. Once you have confirmed and cleaned the hose and if issue continues contact a professional to move forward accurately. The unit may possibly have a faulty pump or control board.

You have a pump error - 1. Check the drain hose for restrictions. Restriction, correct problem. No restriction, go to step (2). 2. Start the washer and check for 120VAC at the drain pump. Zero, replace the Main Control Board. 120VAC, remove the pump and check it for blockage. If blocked, remove the restriction, if not, replace the pump.

heres a breakdown on how to do that http://www.washingmachineerrorcodes.com/?p=81

E21 is telling you that it has not drained the water out. You may have something stuck in your drain pump.

E21 means "Not pumping out fast enough". Could be debris caught in the pump inlet sump or pump body.
Disconnect the inlet sump from the pump. Disconnect the outlet hose from the pump. Remove the (2) screws, one on each side, holding the pump housing to the washer base. Unplug the wires from the pump motor and lift the pump assembly out.
