Inspect the drain pump cover to ensure it is properly attached.

5. Carefully remove any foreign objects from the impeller and surrounding area.
Foreign objects (e.g. pieces of glass, plastic, bones or toothpicks, etc) decrease the cleaning performance and can cause damage to the drain pump.
6. Insert the plastic cover back in place. Make sure it is not loose.
7. Install the filter system and plug the appliance back.
Cause:
The drain pump cover is loose or missing - i23 error code is displayed.
