Try first

  1. Switch the machine off at the power for 1 to 2 hours. Then start a wash cycle again.
  2. Clean the drain filter. Follow the steps in your user manual, and keep a towel and tray ready for spilled water.
  3. Check the drain hose height. It should be 60 to 100 cm above the base of the machine, or as your manual says.

Call a pro if

  • The machine still will not drain after you clean the filter and check the drain hose.
  • E20 comes back after you have restarted the machine once.
  • You see water leaking, or the drum stays full of water and you cannot clear it.
