How to Fix Er,dr Error (Step-by-Step)

- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
- Check for simple blockages in the drain path or filter area and clean anything you find.

Likely Parts to Check

Washer drain pump assemblyCommon replacement category: Drain pumpFit note: Exact OEM part number varies by model. Confirm compatibility using the full model number before buying.Confidence: High
A drain error means the washer still senses water after the drain cycle. If the pump is clogged, weak, or failed, water may not leave the tub properly. Exact OEM part number depends on the washer model, so this uses a category search instead of a guessed part number. -
Washer drain hoseCommon replacement category: Drain hoseFit note: Exact OEM part number varies by model. Confirm compatibility using the full model number before buying.Confidence: Medium
A kinked, blocked, split, or restricted drain hose can stop water from draining correctly. The correct hose can vary by Speed Queen washer model, so this is listed as a part category rather than an exact part number. -
Washer drain pump filter or debris trapCommon replacement category: Drain filter / debris trapFit note: Exact OEM part number varies by model. Confirm compatibility using the full model number before buying.Confidence: Medium
Coins, lint, fabric pieces, or debris can block the drain path and trigger a drain error. Some models use a clean-out/filter area while others vary by design, so this should be checked by model before purchase.
Before ordering: match the part to the complete model number on the appliance tag.
