Hi everyone and welcome back to the Sawickipedia. Today we're looking at the
different error codes that may be thrown up by your Bosch, Siemens, Neff, Kenmore
dishwasher. There's going to be separate videos for each error code so I've split
these up into a big playlist so you can look at your particular error code
without having to look through all the other crap about the rest of the error
codes. I'd suggest hitting the subscribe button
now just so you can easily come back to these videos whenever you need to, it's
going to make it a lot easier to find them for you, but apart from that we'll
get straight into it. The E20 code relates to an issue with a short-circuit
in the pump, so you'll need to remove the front panel and the bottom plate in
order to get access. Okay so just a couple of things to check before you go
pulling everything apart, obviously check the drain filter and make sure there's
nothing blocked up in here, just be careful because there may be broken
glass down in there if that's happened, and also check the other areas for any
blockages. Down the back there is the dryer fan outlet so make sure that's not
blocked up, and if everything is clear there just double-check your water inlet
and outlet pipes, just be aware that water is likely to come out when you remove
these. So this is the water outlet or drain pipe, everything looks clear there
just remember to fasten that clip back up otherwise you might make quite a mess.
And the other thing to check would be the inlet pipe,
I'll just turn it off and pull that out so we can have a closer look, and once
again keep in mind water will definitely come out of this one. As you
can see there's a filter in the end of it which does also come out
so just double-check that's all clear, and everything in the pipe is clear.
There is also another filter in there which does not come out so don't try and
pull it out.
But once you've established that everything's all good there double-check
that the error code is still present and if so we'll move on to the next step.
All right now before we do anything else just make sure that the power to the
dishwasher is turned off and also the water to the dishwasher is also turned off. If
you've got an inbuilt unit you will have to remove your kick board in order to
access the bottom of the dishwasher. So in order to remove the front panel you
need a Torx t15 bit, you can pick these up from your local hardware store or
electronics hobbyist store. So open up the front of the dishwasher and you'll
find a total of six Torx bits around the back here, there are also a few up the
front that holds the control panel on but you don't need to remove those, so
just remove these six Torx bits/Torx screws.
Alright once they're out, close the door back up, grab around the bottom at the
sides and just pull outwards. Alright and now you'll have access to these screws
at the bottom here, so again they're Torx t15 bits
so remove those and then you can just pull this out, just be careful
because it is pretty sharp. Remove this sound deadening material and now
you've got access underneath. So the E20 code relates to a fault
with the circulation pump. So just make sure the pump itself is firmly connected
and the wiring is not damaged anywhere around it, you can also check the
resistance on the pump itself which we will do now. Alright so just trying
probe the pump itself and we should get somewhere around 43 ohms
between the pins, quite a tight space it's hard to get in there. The other
option would be to back probe the plug itself. There we go so it's about 43 ohms
so you should get that reading. If you don't then there's likely an issue with
the pump itself in which case you'll need to replace it in order to repair
the E20 code. That's about it for this video, I hope it's helped you out. The
only thing I'd ask in return is for you to subscribe to this channel which you
can find a link to in the bottom corner of this video, there's also another one
popping up in the top corner of your screen somewhere around now. As always
