E20 is difficulties in draining for washing. which can be drain tube kinked or blocked, drain filter clogged or dirty or the pump impeller behind filter is getting jammed by a coin or cotton or anything wrapped around it, remove filter and look at back of hole and see if impeller will turn use a long screwdriver to turn it, obviously with the power off

I also had the "E20" error code come on my EWF 1090 washing machine several times. This is after error free operations for about 2 years. I opened the small access panel on the lower right front of the machine and unscrewed the filter plug. Out came about 15 coins and one collar stay! There was also a lot of dirt caked to the sides, which I cleaned out. Undoubtedly all this gunk clogged the small drainage tube and may have also impeded the impeller. It is a relatively convenient way to clean out the drainage system in the washer. You can easily do it yourself with no tools. I'm sure this is 99% of most E20 problems, if you have not moved your washer in the course of its lifetime.

my washing machine is doing the same. try adding water in manually via the dispenser drawer. see it this helps, it should then advance to the next stage. you'll have to repeat when it requires water. i'm currently fault finding myself to see what the next solution should be.

I'm fairly sure that this is a warning that the filter is blocked. There is a filter in the bottom right hand corner of the machine.
Now, as stated by the other user here, your problem is that you have a machine full of water and if you remove the filter, you are going to get a very wet floor. The trick here is:
Turn the power off at the mains and remove the plug from the wall. Wait ten minutes. This SHOULD power off the safety feature that allows you to open the front load door.
Presuming it does, pull the machine out if it is under a work surface and taking great care because of the weight, tip tha machine backwards until the water level is below the door (Having a chair or a box to rest the back of the machine on is a good plan here, so you don't tip it beyond about 45% and have it fall on ots back.
If the door will open, then you can now rescue any clothes and bale out the water with a cup. Once you gave got to all the water you can (Memember there is still more waqter out of sight and in the pipe going to the filter!) You can now tip the machine back a little further until the water is clear of the filter in the botton right of the machine.
NOW, you can take the filter out, remove the fliff, couns, old sock and other debris clogging it and screw it back in place. TIp the machine back on to its feet and put it back.
Now, make a note in your diary to check the filter ever 6-8 weeks or so. Once you have done a few check and cleans, you will figure out how oftem you need to clean the filter, which depends on what you wash and how much you wash it.

This is a problem associated with the drum not emptying water - usually a blocked empty pump filter. Electrolux have an excellent support site. Go to:
