What to do when Er dr shows on the applianceKind of codeWater supply and drain
The new appliance is reporting what it gets from the water connections behind it. A no-water or slow-fill message on the first fill usually means the supply valve is still closed or only half open, or the new line kinked when the unit slid back; a drain message means the drain hose is pinched, pushed too deep into the standpipe, or looped higher or lower than the installation instructions allow. Open the valve fully, straighten the hose, set it to the height the manual gives, and run the cycle again.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Speed Queen's own guidance for Er dr on its appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Check that the drain hose and drain receptacle are installed properly and not blocked.
Clean the foreign-object trap in the pump per the manual’s maintenance section, in case debris entered during the first loads.
Unplug the machine for 15 seconds to clear the code before testing again.
If Er dr returns with the drain hose and receptacle confirmed clear, book a visit rather than keep clearing the code.

It usually turns into water supply and shutoff connection. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
Er dr is a drainage alert about water remaining at the end of a cycle, not a fill problem or an unbalance code — it shows up after the tub has already filled and tried to empty. A machine that never fills in the first place is a separate code.

A booking moves faster with three things: the message exactly as the display shows it, the model number from the carton or the rating plate, and the moment it first appeared. With those, the office can tell whether it is a setup step or a connection to put right, and send the part that fixes it.
