Hi Douglas Haskell, I know you will laugh at this but try Coke a Cola. Fill the Drain Pump Hose with Coke and let it Soak overnight.

Or CLR might help also

SOURCE: I neet o replace drain pump on a LG wm1832cw model

its not easy, but you'll have to lay the washer on its back and take off the crate like bottom panel. Discontect all the hoses. Disconnect the electrical line going to the pump. If you can, try and seperate the pump motor from the housing by unscrewing two screws on the housing, which will seperate the motor from the housing, If you cant get to it, I actually broke the screws on the drain filter housing to get it loose. I secured it back with the other front loading screw and some gorilla glue, shouldnt be a problem. I should at least get another 6 years out of this pump. Good luck.

    SOURCE: how do i reset an electrolux 1080

    E20 is an error code for a drain pump issue. The error will reset itself if the issue has been resolved. If it or another code continued to appear, then the unit has not been accurately fixed.

    I have an Electrolux Front load washer, model number EWFLS70JIW0. After fixing an E21 error by clearing the drain, halfway through the 2nd load, it flooded the floor and gave an E131 error. I've checked...

    Get a hand crank type drain snake, and continue to snake your drain till you pull out what is down deep in the drain. You will be surprised what else you will pull up from the drain. You can buy this tool for around $25.00. This will be a handy tool . Good Luck Friend.

    E21 error is showing on my electrolux EWF14811 washing machine. What does this mean and how do I clear it?

    E21 means a problem with the water draining.
    Could be defective: drain pump, pressure switch, wiring, current leak between heating element and ground and finally main board.
    Also could be drain filter or drain tube (kinked or clogged) and leaks from water circuit on pressure switch.

    WHAT IS THE FIX FOR ERROR CODE 21? THANKS

    Hi.

    Code E21 means that there is a drain problem. The repair is carried checking the drain hose at the back and accessing the drain filter (in front at the bottom with most machines from those manufacturers. IF there is no problem with drain lines then the pressure switch , the pump or the electronic control may be responsible. For some general troubleshooting see : My washing machine does not drain.

    Regards.

    My washing machine keeps coming up with an E21 error code

    Hi.

    The definitive answer depends on the machine model numbers. In Frigidaire, Zanussi, OKO, Electrolux, SMEG and other machines E21 means that there is a drain problem. The repair is carried checking the drain hose at the back and accessing the drain filter (in front at the bottom with most machines from those manufacturers.

    Have a erro code E21 What is it

    The E21 error code means the water in the washer is not pumping out fast enough. The solution is to check the washer installation. Make sure the drain hose is not kinked. Make sure the drain pump has 120 volts in the drain cycle. If it reads zero the control board will need to be replaced. If not, then it's the pump.

    E21 is flashing on the screen what does this mean?

    E21 indicates that water is not draining from the machine fast enough. This can be caused by a kink in the drain hose, a problem with the pump or a problem with the pressure sensor.

    On my washer, there's a copy of the service manual inside the machine - remove two screws in the back and take off the top. The manual includes the error codes and the steps to take.
