What E23 / E24 Means

E23 and E24 on Frigidaire front-load washers with a digital display (including Affinity, Gallery and current front-load models) are listed by Appliance Aid as a failed drain pump relay on the control board — the board is not switching the pump correctly.

Common Causes of E23 / E24

  • Drain pump relay failure on the main board
  • Drain pump drawing abnormal current
  • Wiring fault between board and pump

🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try

Unplug the washer for 5 minutes and plug it back in as a one-time reset. If water remains in the drum, follow the drain pump filter steps in your manual with the washer unplugged and towels down. If the code returns, book service.

⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That

  • Board-level faults require confirming whether the pump damaged the relay; replacing only the board can lead to a repeat failure.
  • Damage caused during a repair attempt may not be covered by your warranty — check your warranty terms first.

Opening a panel to inspect or repair something yourself doesn't automatically cancel your manufacturer's warranty — but it can risk accidental damage, and some manufacturers do have specific service conditions. Check your product's warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

E23 / E24 FAQ

No — E21 is slow draining; E23/E24 point to the board's control of the pump.

It may not. Water can be drained through the filter access per your manual.
