Possible Causes
Corrupted control software, Faulty main PCB, Power interruption during cycle, Faulty cycle selector encoder
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before accessing the control panel.
- Power reset: Disconnect power for at least 5–10 minutes, then plug back in to reset the control.
- Check selector knob: If your Danby combo has a rotary selector, ensure it turns smoothly and clicks into positions. A worn encoder can cause E20.
- Inspect control board: Remove the control panel and inspect the main PCB for visible damage or loose connectors.
- Firmware update (if applicable): Some models may support firmware updates via service tools; this is typically done by an authorized technician.
- Replace main PCB: If E20 persists and mechanical components are fine, replace the main control board.
