How to Fix F20 Error (Step-by-Step)

Check that the hot and cold water faucets connected to the washer are turned on fully.
Unplug the washer from the power outlet and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Turn off the water faucets and disconnect the inlet hoses from the back of the washer.
Check the small filter screens inside the hose connections on the washer. Use a small brush or pliers to gently remove any sediment or debris.
Check the hoses themselves for any kinks or twists that could be blocking water flow. Straighten them if necessary.
Reconnect the hoses securely, turn the water faucets back on, and plug the washer in.
Start a new cycle to confirm water is now entering the machine.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

Still Not Working?
If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.
