How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit and allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes.
- Reduce load: Remove some items and avoid overloading the drum, especially with heavy textiles.
- Check ventilation: Ensure there is adequate clearance around the washer-dryer and that vents are not blocked by cabinets or other appliances.
- Inspect motor (advanced): Remove the rear panel and check for signs of overheating on the motor (burnt smell, discoloration). If present, the motor may need replacement.
Persistent E20 even with normal loads suggests a failing motor or control board and should be evaluated by a technician.
