E20 is not an exact error code. It's indicating a possible pump out
problem. Here is a few possible causes of an E20 error code:
1. Restriction in the drain pump
2. Failed pump
3. Water not pumping out fast enough (crimped drain hose)
4. Too many suds ( too much detergent or wrong kind)
5. Pressure switch (not communicating with control board)
6. Loose wire at pressure switch
7. Loose wire at pump or control board
8. Failed control board
Most likely there is something blocking the motor spinning. This is from the afore-mentioned article:
"Thanks to the different postings on the net about a E20 error code I
took apart my washer’s drain system ATF7000 to find. A pare of little
girls underpants, one hair band, one plastic green gem, a golf ball
sized wad of wrappers/stickers/???, and almost two dollars in coins.
All caught up in the plastic strainer located inside the black rubber
boot found on the bottom of the tub leading into the drain pump.
Here is how I did it: After emptying the washer of sloppy contents, I
sucked as much of the water out with a shop-vac. I then turned the
washer onto it’s left side gently using a couple of towels as a cushion
(unplugging the washer and hoses first). From the bottom and back panel
you can access the drain hose/pump/coin catch. With a pair of pliers
you can remove the clamp holding smaller end of the rubber coin catch
to the tub, with a Phillips screw driver you can remove the larger
clamp of the rubber coin catch to the tub. From the back panel you
again use your pliers to remove the clamp to the drain line, and
finally with a Philips screw driver remove the two screws holding the
pump to the bottom of the washer. Oh yah, do not forget to unplug the
wire from the pump. Now pull the pump out with the black rubber boot
still attached. Mark the orientation of the pump to the boot with a
sharpie pen, and remove the last clamp. Now look inside the black
rubber boot and gently remove the plastic basket inside, there you will
find the treasures that just wasted the last hour of your time. Now
reveres those steps, reinsert the half washed clothes, and enjoy your
new machine.
Thanks again to everyone that has posted before me, otherwise I
wouldn’t have known were to even start looking. I hope this helps
someone."
Another possible cause of that is the detergent dispenser door is not
closed properly. Just need to make sure it's closed all the way. If
these do not solve the problem, then I recommend calling in the repairman.
Hope that helps!
Frigidaire and their servicing dealers claim there is no such error code, (E20)
