# WithdrawFailed (/docs/errors/chain/WithdrawFailed)

Withdrawing the transaction fee from the sender's mapped account failed even though the balance check passed, e.g. due to locks, holds, or existential deposit constraints. Check the account's locks and its free versus withdrawable balance.

Declared by the `EVM` pallet; it classifies to the semantic code [`insufficient_balance`](/docs/errors/insufficient-balance).

## Remediation [#remediation]
