The F21 error code indicates a “long drain”. If the unit is draining correctly I would recommend checking the pressure switch & hose. Another possibility would be the air dome.
The restriction or blockage is likely in the drain pump. I added the instructions how to access the drain pump in the image below. Note: Disconnect the power cord from the power source before removing the lower access panel.
I hope this is helpful to you!
