Our Kenmore Elite front load washer is less than three years old. Lately, we have been intermittently been getting a "0E" error code. According to the manual, it means the drain pipe could be kinked/pinched/clogged, the drain pump filter could be clogged, or the drain discharge pipe is more than 96" above bottom of washer.

We have checked all of the above, and nothing seems to be wrong...but we still intermittently get the code and have to drain the washer.

Sometimes that fixes it for a load or two, other times we have to do it repeatedly and then it works fine for another load or two.

Has anyone had this issue? If so, what did you do to fix it? We will call for service, but I thought I'd ask here first...
