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

Unplug the washer from the power outlet and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Place towels on the floor and have a shallow pan or bucket ready to catch water.
Locate the drain pump, usually accessible through the front lower panel or by tilting the machine.
Disconnect the hoses from the pump, allowing any trapped water to drain into your pan.
Disconnect the electrical wires from the pump and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Remove the screws or release the tabs holding the old pump in place and remove it.
Install the new drain pump, reconnect the hoses and wires, and secure the access panel before restoring power.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
