How to resolve a drainage issue on an ELECTROLUX EWP147105W washing machine?

Question

Accepted Answer

If your ELECTROLUX EWP147105W washing machine refuses to drain water at the end of the cycle, several simple checks can resolve the issue. Most drainage faults come from easily accessible blockages or a mispositioned drainage hose.

Start by checking the drainage filter, located at the lower front of the appliance. Before opening it, place a container or towel to collect any residual water. Unscrew or unfold the cover according to your model, remove the filter, and clean it under hot water to eliminate any debris, lint, and small objects that may be blocking it. Also, check that the turbine inside the filter is not stuck and turns freely. Ensure that the compression chamber behind the filter is also free of obstructions.

Check the drainage hose that exits at the back of the machine. A pinched, crushed, bent, or blocked hose prevents water from draining properly. Make sure the hose is not twisted or blocked by an object. If necessary, disconnect it at both ends and rinse it thoroughly with hot water to remove any limescale or accumulated deposits. Also, ensure that the end of the hose in the sink or siphon is not submerged, which would create an air blockage preventing drainage.

Check the water inlet hoses, as insufficient descaling can affect the pressure switch that controls drainage. Regularly clean the detergent drawer, door seal, and compression chamber to prevent limescale or mold buildup.

If an error code appears, particularly error E23, this indicates a confirmed drainage fault by the electronics. In this case, after following the previous checks, test a new complete cycle to see if the problem persists.

If after these checks the washing machine still does not drain, unplug it for a few minutes, then plug it back in to reset the electronic circuit. If the problem is not resolved, the drainage pump itself or the electronic board may be defective and require the intervention of a qualified technician. A persistent drainage issue should not be ignored, as stagnant water can damage the internal components of the appliance.
