Meaning

The washer is draining too slowly or not at all.

The Electrolux E20 error code indicates that the washer detected a drainage problem. Electrolux washers monitor drain pump speed and water level; if the water does not evacuate within the expected time, E20 is triggered. This is most commonly caused by a clogged pump filter, blocked drain hose, or foreign objects in the pump impeller.

  • Loud humming from the pump
