Hi footitrncs- Here are some generics instructions on how to clean out the pump. I advise to please be very cautions.

1. Unplug the unit.

2. Tilt the unit up to where the front feet are in the air and the back feet are still on the ground. Please make sure the unit is propped up safely.

3. Now that the unit is propped up look inside on the bottom right hand side there is a black looking accordion thing. This is the coin trap.

4. Clean the drum out with as much water as possible and have towels ready. The next step you will have the remaining water come out.

5. At the top of the coin trap where it is attached to the drum is a silver spring with a silver screw. Loosen the screw and wiggle the coin trap down from the drum.

5. Reach inside the coin trap and clean what is inside of it out.

6. Put the unit back together following the same steps backwards

However, if you are looking to replace the pump completely, I strongly suggest consulting a professional for further assistance due to the difficult location of the pump itself.

My frigidaire affinity washer doesnt spin during the rinse cycle.

Hi javierc569,

Before the Spin Cycle should start, all water must be drained out of the machine. If it does not start, it could likely mean the Drain pump may be clogged. Please follow my below tip on the fix:

ACCESS, DRAIN & CLEAN THE DRAIN PUMP FILTER...

If this does not help, the drain pump may be faulty.

Kind Regards

Affinity ATF7000E Front Load Washer: where do i find what efo means on my affinity wash...

Frigidaire, Zanussi, AEG, & More....

EFO = Filter Blocked (low flow) and it is accessible from the bottom front of the machine.

1. there is a blockage in the filter or drain hose.takes too long to drain out.
2. over dosing of powder or liquid. again can cause an air lock in the pump which slows the drain pump down.

Check the filter and drain hose and test again. this fault will only come up at the end of a cycle.
You do not need to reset the machine to get rid of the fault code as this is automatically deleted.

Run an empty load with no detergent in an attempt to get rid of the code.

Smell still in clothes

Try adding baking soda to the wash. We have the same issues (son works on a dairy farm) and will on clothing resort to chlorine bleach even on colors in small amounts. Eric

Error message 20

I THINK (but I'm not absolutely sure that E20 is the drain pump clogged. Hence the spin won't run, because there is still water in the drum because the pump can't get it all out in time. I know this model had a filter or trap for the pump, but I'm not sure where. I would guess a door on the front, bottom right?

If you do find the filter and clean it, then you may find that you need to leave the machine powered off and unplugged for an hour (or even overnight) to clear the error code.
