Frigidaire washer not draining is a known issue affecting FFTW4120S series. Our technicians specialize in Frigidaire-specific diagnostics and repair.
Frigidaire washer not draining is typically caused by clogged drain pump filter or failed drain pump. Frigidaire-specific factor: drain pump coin trap clog — small items accumulate in the pump housing filter. Repair costs $100-$300 with free diagnostic and 90-day warranty.
Drain pump coin trap clog — small items accumulate in the pump housing filter
Drain pump impeller crack from foreign object impact — bra wires and coins are most common
Pressure switch tube clog from detergent residue — machine thinks tub is empty when full

Seeing one of these codes? It likely indicates not draining.
Sacramento Frigidaire washer drain pump failures trace to hard water mineral buildup on the pump impeller — calcium deposits reduce clearance until the motor overheats. The EFLS627U front-loader is common in Sacramento-area new construction, and its pump filter requires cleaning every 2-3 months in hard water markets. Technicians carry replacement pumps for Sacramento Frigidaire calls because pump motor burnout is frequent.
Access drain pump filter on front-loaders: open lower front panel, twist filter cap counterclockwise — have pan ready for water release
Inspect pump impeller for cracks or foreign objects through filter opening — use flashlight to examine blade condition
Blow through pressure switch tube (disconnect at tub end) — any resistance means cleaning or tube replacement
Test drain pump motor: disconnect wiring connector, apply 120V directly — pump should run immediately; no response means motor failure
The technician cleans the pump filter first — this resolves about 50% of Frigidaire drain complaints. If the impeller is cracked from foreign object damage, the entire pump assembly is replaced from the front or bottom of the unit. Frigidaire drain pumps are a 30-40 minute replacement. The technician also verifies drain hose routing and standpipe height, especially in Sacramento homes where hard water scale narrows hose interiors over time.
