Electrolux ELFW7637AW 4.0 cu ft Front Load Washer with Steam and Sanitize Cycle E13 Error Fix: Water Leak in Tub — Leak Detected

The control board has detected a water leak in the outer tub or internal plumbing. Water is escaping from the wash system. Pull the washer out and inspect underneath for moisture. Check the tub-to-pump seal, the door boot seal (bellows) and its retaining ring, the drain hose connection, and the inlet hose connections. A cracked outer tub is rare but possible. Check the pressure switch hose for holes — a leaking hose can cause the control to misread water levels. Dry the base area and run a test cycle to identify the leak source.
