Crosley compact top-load washer code normal-express-wash-and-long-drain
A long drain: the tub took too long to empty, which on this washer usually means the pump is fighting suds or a blockage.
Look at the drain hose for a clog and check whether the tub is full of suds.
Too many suds stop the pump from moving water, so give the suds time to settle and press Start/Off to let the control drain the tub and carry on with the cycle. If the tub still will not empty once the hose and suds are ruled out, unplug the washer and replace the drain pump.
Crosley compact top-load washer code super-wash-normal-and-slow-fill
A slow fill: water reached the tub more slowly than the control expected.
If the washer is set up as a portable unit, select the cold water button only.
On a portable installation the sink faucets set the temperature, so only the cold button should be used. Then unplug the washer and look at the inlet valve screens. A clogged screen is a reason to replace the whole inlet valve rather than clean it, because loosened debris can leave the valve stuck open and flood the room. A valve that does not open when asked is replaced as well.
Crosley compact top-load washer code super-wash-normal-and-unexpected-fill-during-agitation
An unexpected fill during agitation or soak: the control saw the water level change while it was not asking for water.
Think about whether anyone took clothes out of the basket after the washer filled.
Removing garments mid-cycle lifts the level and trips this code, and pressing Start/Off resets the control so that it refills and carries on. If nothing was removed, the tub may be leaking: unplug the washer and check the tub, the drain pump and the drain hose for leaks, and replace whatever is found to leak.

Crosley compact top-load washer codes
Crosley compact top-load washers use light patterns for lid, water and spin faults. Check that the lid is closed and the lid switch area is clean, that both taps are open and the hoses are clear, and that the drain hose is not kinked. A small washer is easily unbalanced, so do not wash a single heavy item.
Switch the washer off at the outlet for a minute and try a short cycle. A pattern that returns after those checks points to the lid switch, the water valve or the control, and needs a technician.
Compact washers have small tubs and light motors, so they are sensitive to overloading and to detergent. A little HE detergent is enough, and too much leaves suds that slow the spin. Level the washer by turning its feet and place it on a firm floor. If the machine stops mid-cycle and flashes a light, the load is probably out of balance; open the lid, spread the clothes and restart. Check the drain hose height, since a hose set too low can siphon water out.
Crosley's compact top-load washer is a small machine for apartments, with a plastic tub and a simple control. The codes in the table cover the water supply, the drain, the lid and the load balance, and the usual complaints are that the washer will not fill, will not drain or stops during the spin. Because the machine is light, it moves when the load is uneven, so level it and keep loads small.
A compact washer fills to a set level and drains through a pump or by gravity, depending on the model. If it will not drain, check the hose for kinks and the height of its end, which should be within the manual's range. A hose that is too low can siphon water out as it fills. A clogged pump is rare in compact models but possible; a technician can clear it.
Detergent matters in a small tub. Use a high efficiency detergent in a small measure, since suds fill the tub and trigger errors. Do not overload the washer; it should have space for the clothes to move. Wipe the lid seal and leave the lid open between loads. If the washer is moved often, check the hoses and the feet each time. The model and serial are on a label at the back.
