Crosley Washer Error Code E13

E13 on a Crosley washer indicates that the control board has detected a water leak in the tub or an air leak in the air bell assembly. The air bell monitors water levels using air pressure, and a leak in either system throws off those readings. The washer will stop normal operation until the issue is resolved. Start by checking around and under the machine for any visible water.

It is not recommended to continue using the washer while E13 is active. A water leak inside the machine can cause water to reach electrical components, creating a shock or fire hazard. It can also cause water damage to your floor or subfloor. Disconnect the washer from power and water supply until the leak source is identified and repaired.

Repair costs vary depending on the cause. Replacing a door gasket or air bell hose typically falls in the lower cost range, generally between $20 and $80 for parts, with additional labor if a technician is hired. A damaged tub or failed pump will cost more, potentially ranging from $100 to $300 or higher depending on parts and service rates in your area. Diagnosing the exact cause first will give you a clearer picture of the total expense.

Begin by inspecting the washer for visible water on the floor or around the base, which points to a physical water leak from a seal, hose, or tub component. If no water is found, examine the air bell hose for cracks, kinks, or loose connections at the pressure switch and air bell. Repair or replace whichever component is faulty. Once the leak source is corrected, run a test cycle to confirm the error does not return.

Resetting the washer may temporarily clear the E13 code, but it will return as soon as the control board detects the leak condition again. The underlying cause, whether a water leak or an air bell hose issue, must be physically corrected before the code will stay clear. A reset alone is not a repair and should not be relied on as a solution.
