Hi all! I had to remove my coin catcher on my Electrolux EIFLS60JIW1 Washer because it wouldn’t drain and would not complete the cycle. Removed the three tiny socks and seventy cents change from the filter. We also removed the plastic filter itself in order to remove any other smaller debris and to clean it out completely. We then put the washer back together. Ran a load of laundry and had water leakage. When I got back inside, the tub to coin catcher was leaking. We thought it was because we missed the edge of the rubber to tub seal in the back. We fixed that issue but the washer continues to leak from the rear of the tub to coin catcher. How do we remedy this issue because we have done everything we can think of to rectify the leak? Also, would it easier to access the tub to coin catcher and make certain it was properly mounted and easier to access from the rear? We know there is quite a bit more disassembly with gaining access from the rear but so hard to visualize and access the offending part! We are desperate for clean laundry and have been without a working washer for about a week now. We are getting tired of disassembling and reassembling the washer! Your insight would be a big help! Thanks a lot!

SOURCE: ce code and leaking water

CE Communications ErrorIf there is any breakdown in communication between the machine controller and the motor controller, CE flashes and the unit beeps once.


Some common causes of CE errors include:

· Conformal coating on serial communications pins between the machine controller and motor controller. After disconnecting power to the unit, try scraping this coating off the pins.

· Check the resistance values between the serial communications pins with the connectors in place. Make sure the harness does not have a bad connection.

· Check the quick disconnect at the motor terminal. The drive motor must be hooked up properly or a CE error will occur.

· Drive motor thermal protector has opened.

·Motor controller is not powered or fuse has opened. Replace motor controller.

SOURCE: whirlpool duet washer ht is leaking near the drain

1. Find out where the leak is coming from. Does it leak constantly or during one part of the cycle?
A constant leak means the leak is in the valve where the hoses hook to the washer, the supply valves, or the lines to the washer from the water supply.
The other two options are when the washer is agitating or pumping the water out between cycles.


2. See if it leaks during both cycles and the test there would be to lift the lid just as it starts to drain and wait to see if the water stops leaking.
If it doesn't, then run the drain cycle to see if it gets worse or better.
Results may not be immediate as it would take a few minutes for whatever water there to finish dripping.


3. Wait until the water has been pumped out, lift the lid and check the drip again.
When the location of the leak has been determined, unless the washer has been frozen, most leaks can be fixed without parts and just using hand tools.
If you have an older, top load washer, the back or front will come off so you can observe where the leak is coming from.

WARNING. You are working with a moving, electrically hot machine that could flood.
You must take your time and not put your hand or hair in somewhere that can catch you.
You should not have to get into the upper control center, thus reducing the shock hazard.

4. Before turning the machine on, remove a cover. On some washers, there are two screws on the bottom L & R front corners that take the front panel loose.
Once the screws are removed, the front cover is hinged at the top and you simply pull the bottom away from the machine until it comes un-hooked, and set the cover aside.

There shouldn't be many exposed wires or ends, but a few. Don't touch the terminals or lay something metal in the machine that could fall on the terminals.


5. Take a flashlight, look for obvious leaks or better, water stains around nuts, hose clamps, etc.
Most likely you'll see some water residue here and there and that would be normal as a washer is wet. Look for puddles, long white streaks, calcium deposits.
Most likely, you won't find standing water, but some clues of where you should look when the machine is running.
Unless this leak is so obivous you can see what's wrong, you don't need to start it and you should repair the problem.
Once possible areas have been identified, you should start the machine as if you had a load in it and start to watch for the leak.

WARNING- Make sure you have no tools laying in the machine and you are out of the way. There are spinning parts and live wires once you turn the machine on.
Stay clear, and watch your hair and hands.

Once the machine is full and starts its cycle, look for leaks.
Let the machine do its cycle and as it goes into each part of the cycle, look for the leak.
Once you find a drip, stop the machine by lifting the lid or pulling out on the control knob, and now observe more closely.
Remember, water runs down; where it drips is not necessarily the place of origin.

6 Find the leak and make the needed adjustment (which will be all that is necessary most of the time).
If it is a part you need, get the make, model number and serial number of the washer and call an appliance parts dealer or repair service if you don't think you can repair the problem.



If the washing machine leaks water while it is filling, pull it away from the wall and see if the water drips from the inlet hoses or valves as the unit fills.
If it does, tighten the faucet packing nuts. Then, inspect the hoses and replace them if they have become cracked.
Also look for cracks in the casing of the inlet valves. Unplug the unit and lift the top to better inspect the valves.

Replace any valves that are cracked.

Valves usually crack when the hot water in the house water supply is heated to greater than 170 degrees.
They also crack if the house is left cold during the water and water is not drained from the unit. A cracked inlet nozzle can leak during fill.
The leaking water will drip down the outside of the tub and collect under the unit. Be sure that the hose connected to the inlet nozzle is tightly clamped.
Replace the nozzle if you find cracks in it.

If the leaking occurs at some time during the wash sequence other than when the machine is filling with water, unplug the unit, remove the back panel and examine the parts under the machine.
You can make a closer inspection by tipping the unit over onto it's front or side.

Tighten hose clamps that have become loose. If water is leaking from the pump, replace the pump.

The gasket between the tub and the splash guard may wear out and leak. To check the gasket, lift the top and remove the snubber and splash guard.
Replace a worn gasket. A hole in the bottom of the tub can develop.
If the hole is less than 1/4 inch in diameter, remove the agitator and basket and seal the hole.
If the hole is larger, replace the washing machine or tub.

How do I access my drain filter on a Electrolux model EFLS517SIWO

You need to remove the top panel, laundry soap dispenser, the outer door boot and retainer and the front of the machine.
There is a wonderful tutorial on repair clinic if you search your model and the disassembly video. Then, you can bring up the specific operation in order to remove what I believe you are referring to as the coin catcher! If I am incorrect, you can still find what you need on the repair clinic website! Good luck!

What is the problem why water does not drain after rinse cycle?

Hello friend, thanks for your post!

I understand that your Electrolux washer is not draining properly. Some possibilities for your washer not draining could be an issue with the drain pump or control panel. You should additionally check the drain hose to make sure there are no restrictions. If your washer continues to not drain properly you should seek assistance from a professional to repair the appliance. I hope this is helpful. -Matt

Where is the coin catcher on a frigidaire front load washer?

Good Afternoon Friend,

I understand you want to know where the coin catcher is located. The coin catcher is located inside your washer, at the bottom right-hand side, attached to the drain pump. If you want to get to the coin catcher, I suggest contacting your local authorized technician for assistance. Hope this is helpful.

-Best Regards-

Kenmore oasis codes

The SD code means that excessive suds were detected. There are a few possible causes: 1) too much detergent, 2) not using a HE detergent, 3) something clogging the pump debris catcher (coin catcher) or drain, 4) a problem with the pump.

First try pressing Cancel and wait for any suds to subside. Then try the spin cycle again. If that works, try running the washer a few times with no clothing and no detergent. This will rinse any excess soap out.

Since the spin/drain cycle isn't completing, I suggest you prepare to pull the pump. Unplug the washer and remove the hoses (inlet and drain). Tape the door shut. You will need to tilt the washer onto the front (put some towels on the floor). Have a bucket ready to catch the water from the unit. Disconnect the drain hose from the larger pump you see by loosening the clamp. Look for any foreign objects in the pump. Similarly remove the inlet hose from the pump. To get the pump completely free, remove the end cover and remove the wire connector. Then remove the three screws that hold the pump. Check the pump again for foreign objects. Make sure that the hoses are also clear. If the pump doesn't work and there are no foreign objects, you probably need to replace the pump. If the washer is under warranty, contact Sears. Replace the pump by reversing the steps.

I hope this helps.

Washer won't drain, burning smell on rinse cycle. appears to be spinning just not draining

Check the 'coin-catcher'. It's a small compartment in front of the pump. It's supposed to catch all the big stuff (coins, nails, screws, etc) before it damages the pump. Sometimes lint and other items will snag in the coin-catcher and clog it up... Once it clogs, it will not allow enough water to go thru to drain the machine. I would not use the machine until I got it fixed (or looked at by a repairman)... the smell you're getting could be the pump not getting enough water thru and burning itself up....

Washer wont spin

either a bad motor control board or your coin catcher is full of stuff. i would check the coin catcher first. open the front panel and you can see the pump the coin catcher is the part that comes from the bottom of the tub to the pump.Careful when you take it out there will be water in it and you will have to be ready with a towel or shop vac. put it into drain first before taking apart. it will not drain all of the water.
