What is error code E23 for the Frigidaire Affinty front loading washer

Before buying anythings, you have too check the manual too see if you didn't put it in factory test mode by accident. the manual is suppose to be under the top,(two screws on the back)
After that, second thing you have too do, remove the back (six screws) the drain pump is located under the the baril. there is a black rubber tube attached to it. In this tube, there is a basket that keed hard thing away from the pump. In my case, some hair pin pass the basket and block the pump rotor. The computer of the machine told me it was Error E23 but after cleaning, everything work like new!!

So try cleaning it yourself, it is easy even with basic skill. You will need a star screwdriver, a scare-screw driver, pliers.

Remember, better have the machine empty before doing anything, because you'll be working on the DRAIN LINE.

Hope that help someone.

I had the e23 code as well which indicated the control board but I could still hear the drain pump motor trying to move. I took the rubber drain off the pump and found a goldmine of stuff: a screw, a hairpin, and a curved wire which turned out to be part of my wife's bra. That was the main piece that jammed up the motor. Removed it all, reattached the rubber part and everything checked out. Remember to clear the last error too before running the diagnostics again.

Something in drain pump.clean out and unit will work ok unless the impeller to pump is bad.

E23 - Drain pump relay on control board failed.

Replace control board or wire.
