Error codes My washer dryer keeps coming up with e20 error code during the cycle of washing or drying i can't find a manual with the error codes, i have cleaned the filter so i know it can't be fluff. I would appreciate any suggestions or the error codes. Thanks Washing machine Daewoo Lavadora DWD-F1011 stops working after 10-15 minutes of "normal" washing and displays error code F9 and F2 trying to drain the water. Cannot find what th error codes mean. While I am washing it stops and pops up with an error f20. What am I supposed to do?? What does this mean. I just bought this washer a month ago so I hope this problem is easy to fix!!

Ok if its only bring the E20 up on the drying side then this will be a blocked dryer condenser chamber.

To get at this you need to take the back half of the washer off and from there you will see a big plastic chamber going from the bottom up to the top.

Take this chamber off and give it a good clean out with a hose pipe.

Once this is clear refit it and the dryer should be back to normal from there.

If the filter is clean and the hoses are free of obstructions,you will need to replace the pump

not familar with the code but usually wash has a built in thermo stop to wait for water to heat to correct temp,if it works normally in a rince cycle and spins out and finishes properly i would look at heat element or stat,hope this helps

Hi

E20 means there is a bolckage in there
remove filter and clear any debris in there and check impeller is turning ok.

regards

I suggest you snake out the drain into which the machine waste hose goes, the standpipe that is. The drain could be blocked somewhere causing pressure problems which is conveyed to the machine. Be sure to replace the machine exit hose at about 3 feet from ground level, and dont shove it too much into the standpipe. Do not block up the point where the machine hose goes into the standpipe, it shouldn't be air tight.

if this is a fridgidaire washer, I guess it's a clogged coin catcher. You have remove the front access panel and clean it out. I am working on that now.

Hi Helenw,
The error message E20, simply means the filter plastic cage which is located behind the trap door bottom right side of the machine is full and needs to be cleaned out.
All the fibres and lint gets trapped in here and prevents the waste water from escaping, hence Error code E20.

David

if the wash cycle runs ok then unlikely to be the drain pump or hoses. put drain hose into a bucket and check waster comes out during dry - it wont be large amounts of water. can you hear the drain pump running during the dry cycle?

Hi, I also got the error code E20 when the filter became totally blocked during the washing cycle (due to a pair of my son's old work jeans!). Once I cleaned out the filter everything worked ok again. Put a large bowl under the filter as you unscrew it; a fair amount of water could be there. Regards, John
