But it can still be still an indication of a clogged filter or kinked drain hose. First of all, check the filter of the drain pump and clean it if needed. Then, double check the drain hose and see if there are any bends or twists that can obstruct free water flow. Also, remember that error codes may vary between models. For the most specific information, consult your washer's user manual or perform an online search using your washer's model number.
