I have read your previous advice on the F20 error code on a "wash cycle". I checked the supply lines - definitely on. I am getting water in the tub. In addition to the F20 error code, water is leaking out of the machine (slow leak, not a flood) at the beginning of the cycle.
I can get the washing mahine to successfully complete a rinse, spin and drain cycle after getting the F20 error code.
Is there a particular solution/part I should try first? Drain pump?
Thank you

If you HAVE water entering the wash tub, first verify that you do not have a siphoning condition. This is where the drain line does not have the proper air gap to drain properly and creates a vacuum on the drain line. This will cause drain problems and may prevent the washer from filling all the way. Or, you may have trouble maintaining the water level. When you stated you had water leaking, is this a visible leak? Or, do you have water slowly draining from the tub? Double check your drain line to be sure.
Next, check the drain pump to ensure it is not clogged or obstructed which minimizes drain flow. Also, make sure the pump is running. Remove the access cover and clean out the pump reservoir. In addition, check the drain line from the bottom of the wash tub to the inlet side of the drain pump. I have personally found small articles of clothing stuck in this line, preventing drain flow.
