How to Fix E13 Error (Step-by-Step)

  1. Immediately unplug the washer from its power source to prevent electrical hazards.
  2. Turn off the hot and cold water supply valves and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
  3. Begin by inspecting the most common sources of leaks. Check the connections of the water inlet hoses at both the faucet and the back of the machine. Tighten if loose.
  4. Examine the drain hose to ensure it is properly secured in the standpipe and is not cracked or split.
  5. Open the washer door and carefully inspect the rubber door seal (bellow) for any rips, tears, or holes where water could escape during a cycle.
  6. Remove the lower front access panel to check for water in the bottom pan. If water is present, the leak is internal.
  7. Carefully dry the water and inspect internal components like the drain pump, tub hoses, and pressure switch hose for the source of the leak. Replace the damaged part once identified.
  8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
