Error code E 23 How do I test drain pump? The unit rolls to the left then shuts off with a beep beep beep.

Hello David, I appreciate your post!
Based off my understanding your Frigidaire refrigerator will not stop beeping. Is it beeping due to no power or the door being opened for too long? Is it displaying an error code? Where is the noise coming from? Once you have provided me with some additional information I can further assist you. -Matt

The F33 error means that the washer control unit didn't get the expected response from the drain pump drive during a self-test (before starting the washer cycle). This is usually a wiring issue. Unplug the washer and drain out any water in the unit. Remove the clothing and pull the washer out so that you can reach the access panel. Take a look at the wiring between the drain pump and the CCU (control unit) DP2 connector. Make sure that all of the wiring harnesses are connected. Look for any broken wires or ones that are detached from the wiring harness. With an multimeter, check for continuity in these wires. If there are any broken wires, replace the wiring (Main Harness).

If the wiring is okay, check if the drain pump filter is clogged with a foreign object. Disassemble the drain pump and check if the impeller is intact and on its shaft. Replace the pump if the impeller is damaged. Reconnect the power to the washer and check if the error recurs.

I hope this helps. If you add a comment with the model number, I may be able to provide more information on the parts.

old post. but I am posting here, to help , searchers.
this model has a full computer behind that panel
with service modes and factory test modes.
and a service manual..
try cycling power, (pull main power plug for 5min.)
make sure the drain line is not blocked. (i use a 5 gallon bucket to test my washer drain hose. 2 person, one to hold the hose firmly in his hands , aimed at buck. (the resest button kills all actions)

the beeps are error warnings, covered in the manuals.
there are many beep modes.
even door left open, does that, soap dispenser (option) empty.
the first tests on a PDW, washers, is the rinse, only mode.

when started, it first pumps the sump dry. (old water ejected)
if the pump do dose not start, but humms.. the drain is blocked.
then does a full rinse run. if not make sure the water valves are on.
these models have a Service mode, and a factory test mode
both are covered in the service manual, and allows the manual
testing of each mode and device in the washer.
The turbity sensor can get limed up , so run 1/2 cup of vinegar
in rinse mode. once running.


GE does not offer the serv. manual to DIY, but google does find them, if you search long and hard. "for sure"

is is a generic help page, but do not down load his helper browser bad (jeckle and hyde site) the HTML pages are safe.

The meaning of the code depends on the machine's manufacturer.

On Siemens built machines (Siemens, Electrolux, hotpoints etc.) F23 Means that there is overflow and anti flood device has been activated.
In this case:

Disconnect power.
Remove all water at the base of the machine.
Take off the rear panel, or access the drain pump from front door(depends on model).
Check drain hose height and check hose connected to drain pump.
Connect power back.
If problem does not clear after connecting back, replace pressure switch.

With Wirlpool built machines instead (Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore etc.) f23 means there is a communication within the CCU and the MCU.

CCU is the main control module (central control unit), and MCU is the Motor Control Unit. MCU is a sealed module located deep inside the appliance, and connected on one side to the motor, and on the other to the CCU. Testing F23 on a Whirlpool is more difficult and requires a technician. In this case all you can do is disconnecting power, if error does not go away call the service number listed on manual.

HI. this code represents a Long Drain issue.

If the drain time exceeds 8 minutes, the water valves are turned off and F02 is flashed.

Press PAUSE/CANCEL twice to clear the display.

NOTE: After 4 minutes the “Sud” error will be displayed, then 4 minutes later the F02 error code will be displayed.

Potential Causes

• Check the drain hose and make sure it is not plugged or kinked
• Check the electrical connections at the pump and make sure the pump is running.
• Check the drain pump filter for foreign objects(Actual drain filter location and procedure below)
• If the above does not correct the problem replace the pump



How to Check your drain pump filter for foreign objects:

Most likely, this issue will be the cause of a clogged drain filter. Use my procedure below to help locate and clean this filter.

First, you will need to unplug your unit and shut off the rear water faucets that feed the unit.The pump has a clean out filter located at the front, behind the lower section of the front panel, that allows for the removal of large objects that may have passed from the basket. You will need to remove the front panel to access this large object filter device. Now, Once you have located the drain filter cap; Push twits and pull out the filter cap that is visible. Clear out any debris and wipe the filter and the surrounding area with a mild detergent. If needed, wear gloves and use vinegar or bleach to remove odors, mold and mildew. Rinse the parts completely, if possible. Next; Remove the drain hose and clean it with a mild detergent or warm water. If necessary, again use vinegar or bleach to remove odors and mildew. Completely purge this hose. Once the drain hose has been purged, Reconnect the drain hose and filter. Next; Place the front panel back on the unit. Reconnect the inlet hoses and plug in the unit and turn it back on for a test run. If the cleansing dose not produce positive results, replace the drain pump.


Click here to access service manual for your unit. The actual component access procedures dealing with this issue will be on page 3-10 in the manual provided under the title"PUMP MOTOR". Front door and panel removal procedures are also described in this manual. This will start on page 4-1. Foucuse on pages 4-3 and 4-4 for front panel removal to access the drain pump and filter assembly.

run it through a diagnostic test cycle; with unit plugged in, but not in operation, press and hold the rinse button for 4 sec, then release for 4 sec, press for 4 sec, release for 4 sec, press for 4 sec,then all the lights on the main control panel will come on indicating enterance into diag mode, let this test cycle through until you get an error code, then correspond that error code with the one in your owners manual and correct as needed, or if there is no error code, check the drain pump by removing the back panel of the unit while there is no power to the unit and disconnecting the hoses from the drain pump and checking for any blockage... if that checks out ok, you may have a software problem and should test these as needed per the service manual that you can order at sears for your unit.

The F21 error code is an indication that the unit has too long of a drain out condition. If the control calls for the unit to drain & the water does not drain out in 8 minutes or less the unit will stop & flash the F21 error code. I would recommend checking the drain pump & pressure switch circuit.

Clear pump of debris. Tilt machine. Take off front panel. Unscrew large white drain plug. Remove debris.

Unplug from power source...remove front lower panel (3 sheet metal screw wirh 1/4" drive head located on the lower lop of the panel)...open pump strainer (looks like a large stove knob, Turn it counter clokwise, lookout! lots of water will gush out... back flush the pump by filling the outet of the drain hose ( this may dislodge debris that may jam your pump)...re-assemble, plug to power, and turn-on. That will help get rid off the debris.

It can be done if you are patient and able to figure out how the plastic thing comes apart. Good luck!

Open the panel at the bottom using a 2p coin by turning clockwise
Pull the rubber hose out of the holder and drain water into a container until stops
turn large plastic screw to the left for access to the pump
Clear away and debris bits of metal, plastic, etc that has stopped the pump.
Opposite of above to reassemble
Switch on and test... good luck!

Check the drain pump. First, manually initiate drain by pressing the second and fourth buttons on the keypad at the same time. If it pumps out, disregard the rest. If it doesn't at least hum, check for power at the motor.
Remove lower rack, lower spray arm, and screens in bottom, remove all water inside. Check for debris under pump cover in bottom of sump. The drain pump suction is through the hole on the left.
Behind the toe panel on the left is the drain motor, If no debris was found inside, the drain pump may have failed. Remove outer door panel (you may need to remove the two screws on the sides of the control panel.) Remove the metal panel across the top of the motor area , disconnect hose in front of pump, disconnect wires to pump, press tab at top of pump and rotate clockwise to remove pump. The impeller could be loose on the motor shaft, or the motor windings failed.
