Your dishwasher washed the appliances but stopped at the draining stage? Is the error 20 on the display of the Electrolux dishwasher? In the PMM without a display, the END indicator may flash twice with interruptions of several seconds. Deciphering the code on the screen will help you find out what causes the problem. You can see the value in the instructions, as well as in our article.
How to fix the problem
First, we will examine why the Electrolux dishwasher gives an error code I20. Modern models are equipped with a self-diagnosis system. It works when a failure occurs, highlighting the icons on the scoreboard. So the user can quickly identify and fix the problem.
PMM brand "Electrolux" may show an error in such cases:
- Within one minute there is no discharge of waste water.
- The drain filter is clogged.
- Faulty drain pump.
- Clogged or twisted drain pipe, hose.
- The pressure switch broke.
The drain filter is often clogged with food debris, small debris, glass fragments. Therefore, it is important to clean twice a month.
What to do and how to fix the situation? Eliminate a system crash by resetting the error:
- remove the plug from the outlet for 10-15 minutes;
- reconnect and look at the screen.
Are the icons highlighted again? Then proceed with decisive action:
- inspect the drain hose - it should be located evenly, without kinks;
- turn off the water supply and disconnect the hose from the sewer (siphon);
- remove the blockage.
Also, the cause of the breakdown may be in the pressure switch or drain pump. Then you need to completely disconnect the machine from communications, turn it over and put it on the back wall, allowing access to the bottom. Next, remove the cover (if any) and gain access to the pump and the water level sensor. You can inspect and check the parts, as well as replace them in case of breakage.
Adhere to the rules of operation, conduct timely cleaning of the PMM to avoid problems with blockages. Read about other errors of the Electrolux dishwashers in a separate article.
