Possible Causes
Overloaded drum, Stiff drum bearings increasing motor load, Blocked motor cooling, Faulty motor temperature sensor (if equipped)
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer and allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes.
- Step 1 – Reduce load: Remove some laundry and try a smaller load to see if the error recurs.
- Step 2 – Check drum rotation: Spin the drum by hand. If it feels rough, noisy, or very stiff, the bearings or spider may be failing and overloading the motor.
- Step 3 – Inspect motor: Remove the rear panel and check for lint buildup around the motor that could impede cooling. Clean carefully.
- Step 4 – Professional diagnosis: If E20 returns with normal loads, have a technician test the motor windings and any thermal sensors.
