Black+Decker Washer Error Codes — Complete List

Black+Decker's portable and compact washers use a short E-code set — E1 when filling overruns its 30-minute limit, E3 when the lid isn't closed or the load won't balance, E4 when draining fails. The verified guides below walk through the safe checks for each on these small faucet-fed machines.

• E1 Your Black+Decker washer didn't fill in time — E1 appears after about 30 minutes of filling without reaching the set level, nearly always a supply problem.
• E3 Your Black+Decker washer flags E3 when the lid isn't sensed as closed and locked, or the spin went out of balance several times — close the lid firmly and redistribute the wet load.
• E4 Your Black+Decker washer can't drain — E4 points to a drainage problem (or the water-level sensor), usually a kinked or badly placed drain hose or a clogged filter.

Don't see your code?

Black+Decker washers follow the familiar compact-washer pattern, so the codes echo other portables, but model details vary. An E2 code shows on some units (drain pump, or a lid-lock warning right at the start); because its meaning isn't consistent we've left it off. For anything not listed here, your model's manual is the authority.
