Error Code: I20, E20, 2 FLASHES Difficulty: Moderate
Problem: Draining issue. The dishwasher is not draining water properly.
How to Fix I20, E20, 2 FLASHES Error (Step-by-Step)
- Disconnect the dishwasher from its power source at the circuit breaker.
- Remove the bottom dish rack to access the filter and sump area at the bottom of the tub.
- Unscrew and remove the filter assembly. Wash it thoroughly with warm, soapy water to remove any built-up grime.
- Inspect the sump area below the filter for any foreign objects or debris that could be blocking the drain pump inlet.
- If the filter and sump are clear, the issue may be the drain pump (Part #154757901). You will need to pull the dishwasher out to access it from underneath.
- Check the pump for blockages or damage. If it appears faulty, replace it.
- Reassemble all components, restore power, and run a drain cycle to confirm the repair.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
What to Check Next on This Electrolux Dishwasher
Focused repair path: dishwasher fill, drain, wash, heat, latch, sensor, and control checks. Do not treat the fault as reset-only if it keeps returning; use the failed function to choose the next test.
- Disconnect power before opening panels, then confirm whether the Electrolux dishwasher repeats the same code after a clean reset.
- Match the symptom to the part of the cycle or function that fails: fill, drain, heat, cool, spin, latch, ignite, fan, sensor, or control response.
- Inspect simple causes first: airflow, water supply, drain path, door closure, filter, venting, wiring connectors, and visible damage.
- Use meter testing or service diagnostics before replacing electronic controls, because wiring, switches, sensors, and loads can mimic board failure.
- Use the complete Electrolux dishwasher model number from the appliance tag before ordering any model-specific part.
Check, inspect, clean, test, measure, remove, reconnect, clear, and replace parts only when the symptom supports that path. If these checks point toward a part, verify the complete Electrolux model number from the appliance tag before ordering.
