Hey Salvador Juarez, I appreciate your post!

I understand that when you try and press the dryness cycle on your Frigidaire laundry center it provides you an error. I would like to ask you some additional questions in order to best assist you. Does it show you a code or beep? If so, how many times does it beep? I look forward to your response. Thank you. -Matt

Remove the lower panel by taking out the screws at the bottom. Unplug washer. Then reach up inside to the bottom of the door switch and pull down on lever to unlatch the door. Try running machine again after plugging back in.

Hello.

Frigidaire front-loading washing machines have an electronic control panel where the wash cycle and any other wash options are selected, and the wash cycle is initiated and stopped, if necessary. The control panel also has indicator lights that show the washer status and will display an error code if there are issues with the washer. The "E20" error code indicates a possible pump problem.

Blocked Pump

One of the primary reasons why there may be an "E20" error code on a Frigidaire front-loading washing machine is if there is something blocking the pump. Disconnect the washing machine from the power and release the clips on each side to remove the front access panel. Set a container under the pump drain, which is located on the lower right side of the washing machine. Open the pump drain plug and allow it to drain. Clean out any debris that might be causing the obstruction, then close the drain plug. Close the access panel and restore power to the washer.

Drain Hose

If the drain hose is blocked or crimped, the water may not pump out fast enough, causing the pump error to appear on the display. Straighten out the drain hose in the rear of the washing machine and move it away from the washer if it's trapped between the wall and the washing machine.

Oversudsing

If too much detergent--or the wrong kind of detergent--is used in the washing machine, too many suds may result. This can overwhelm the drain and pump system, resulting in the error. Use only high efficiency (HE) laundry detergent with Frigidaire washing machines and follow specific instructions on the laundry container for the recommended amount of detergent. Run a drain cycle if there are excess suds in the washer to clear out the system.

Pressure Switch or Control Boar

The pressure switch may not be communicating properly with the control board, which can cause the E20 error to occur. The other possibility for the E20 error code is if the control board has failed entirely. Try to reset the washing machine by pressing "Stop/Cancel" and disconnecting the washing machine power cord. Wait 30 seconds, then restore power. Make a new cycle selection and press "Start" to see if the error code returns. If it does, turn off the washing machine and contact Frigidaire for repair.

Thanks.

If your machine ius a FAV6800A LED console or FAV9800A LCD console then take a look at this post Clutch Fix if you want to DIY.

I will help you through the process. Your looking at $300 to $400 for a repair if you don't DIY. See if the DIY process is for you if so let me know I have a few additional questions......Rich

Try to reset the machine..Holding in reset button, also try drain cycle

I have a similar problem. It stops and beeps. It seems that the connections to the control unit are really cheap. Every time this happens which is evry time the machine is used, I take the top lid off and jiggle the black plugs into the control unit and it starts. The repair guy told me to replace the control unit, whcich I will have to do before my wife stops doing laundry. This is a 3 yeard old machine.

Same problem with anything electronic.
