⚠️ Safety Warning: Appliance repair involves electricity, gas, and moving parts. Always disconnect power before working on any appliance.
Error Code: E20 Difficulty: Hard
Problem: Water doesn’t drain.
How to Fix E20 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Unplug the dryer from the electrical outlet for safety and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Locate the drain pump, usually at the bottom front of the dryer. You may need to remove a lower access panel.
- Place a shallow pan and towels under the pump to catch any residual water.
- Unscrew the pump filter cap and carefully pull it out. Clean any lint or debris from the filter and the housing.
- Check the drain hose connected to the pump for any kinks, clogs, or obstructions. Disconnect it and clear any blockages.
- If the filter and hose are clear, the issue may be with the drain pump motor or the main control board (Part 137221600), which requires professional diagnosis.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
