If u check the filter at the bottom there will likely be something blocking it in my case it was sock from my 2 year old lol, but be warned you will have a flood on your hands. after this if you turn it off at the plug for a few mins then back on again it should be fine.

As stated, opened up drain valve & soaked the floor.

This solved the prob immediately, it was a hair clip preventing drainage.

Switched back on and now fully working.

Thanks.

E12 is a water fill time out error,in other words the water never got to a set level within the given time.it could also mean the inlet valve has failed
E21 is a blocked drain issue.You say you have checked the filter at the bottom right?.Remove the filter again and shine a torch in to the filter housing and check if anything is jamming the drain pump impellor.flick impellor round using a long screwdriver to make sure it rotates freely
Now put it back together and retest
