Washer displays E2 and will not drain; water remains in the drum.

Safety first: Unplug the washer. Water may spill when opening the filter—have towels and a shallow pan ready.

• Access the pump filter: On most Haier front-load models, the drain pump filter is behind a small lower front panel or flap. Open it and slowly unscrew the filter cap to let water drain into a pan.
• Clean the filter: Remove coins, lint, buttons, and debris from the filter and pump cavity. Spin the impeller with your finger; it should turn freely.
• Check the drain hose: Inspect the entire length of the drain hose for kinks, clogs, or a blocked standpipe. Flush the hose with water if needed.
• Reassemble and test: Refit the filter cap securely, close the panel, plug the washer back in, and run a drain/spin cycle.
• If E2 persists: The drain pump motor may be weak or burned out. With power disconnected, access the bottom front or rear panel, disconnect pump wiring, and test the pump coil with a multimeter. Replace the drain pump assembly if out of spec or if the impeller is damaged.
