SOURCE: error code F 21
I have a Bosch Classixx 6 1200 express washing machine showing error code F21 on the display, what is it?
SOURCE: On washer got and error code E20??? won't spin
Hi, There is a stupid filter that is really a short rigid tube about 4
inches long that sits inside the black thing that looks a bit like
floppy toilet plunger married to a bladder. It has three points of
attachment. Look to the largest one at the top. That actually has a
clamp that can be opened with a philips screwdirver.
I has to tip my washer onto its front to get access through the bottom of the washer.
Once you get the clamp off, you need to wiggle the tube up and out.
Mine had about $2 in change and a ton of rubbery stuff from a rug.
I emptied it out and put everything back together. Once I figured it out it was easy and took about 15 minutes or less.
Now if you started like me, your washer was filled with water so you would not want to tip it over.
I think that bet way to deal with this is to nure the water out of the tub. I will tell you how I did this.
First- switch the washer control to spin only - this way you won't be adding any more water.
Second (you may want to try to skip this) - I opened up the clamp that
attaches the last hose at the bottom - this is the the washer end of
the hose that travels up along the back of the machine to feed water to
the ouside hose. - Quite a bit of water came out when I did this, so
you will want to protect your forr if neccessary.
Three (try this before my step two), You can feel the filter tube
inside of the black "bladder" try shifting it around inside of the
bladder too get the water to seep around it. I suggest you try to force
it up away from the floor. I could see where there has a sort of vacuum
where the washer could not get any more water out and had "sucked-in"
the bladder.
Then put the hose back on - keep an eye on it rather than clamping it,
since you may need to do this a couple of times - I had to go buy one
of those clamps that you screw shut because I could not get the
original clamp back on.
This link is to a PDF of a good diagram on the parts (best one I found)
ftp://ftp.electrolux-na.com/ProdInfo_PDF/Webster/5995459236.pdf
The two main parts in question are numbers #40 and #41 page 6.
This clamp I mentioned in step two is #48
Take care

SOURCE: error code E20
"F20" is a No Water Detect error. It is an indication that you either have no water coming into the washer, or very little water at all. If the pressure switch has not tripped after 6 minutes, the error code is displayed. This can be a potential problem with the following:
If you have NO water in the wash tub, check the following:
- Inlet water valve may be clogged. Clean inlet screens if necessary.
- Make sure water taps are on.
- Check inlet hoses for kinks or clogs.
If you HAVE water filling the wash tub, check the following:
- Make sure you don't have a siphoning problem. Click the following link for instructions:

- Verify Drain Pump operation.
- Verify the Pressure Switch hoses are intact and connected properly.
- Verify wire harness connections at the pressure switch, inlet valves, drain pump and Central Control Unit (CCU).
To access the Drain Pump - UNPLUG the washer and take the lower panel under the door off by removing the three screws under the bottom edge. HINT: Propping the front feet of the washer up can make access much easier. I use a couple small blocks of wood. With the screws removed, the panel should drop down then come off. If it sticks, tap either side and it should come free. The pump is located directly under the wash tub in the front of the washer. Verify the electrical connections are good and that the pump is running. Click on the following link to check the pump for obstructions:

To access the Pressure Switch – remove the three screws in the top panel along the back of the washer. With the screws removed, the panel should slide back, then, lift off. The pressure switch is located on the right-hand side of the washer in the rear. It is a round plastic device with electrical connections and a plastic air hose attached. Verify the electrical connections are intact, and the air hose is attached and not cracked or leaking.
To access the Central Control Unit (CCU) – with the top panel of the washer removed, the CCU is located directly behind, and just above the rear of the wash tub. There should be a tech sheet directly behind the lower panel or attached to one of the interior cabinet walls. Please refer to this sheet to learn how to perform diagnostics and to verify the wire connections at the CCU. In addition, the tech sheet will also assist in how to locate the components mentioned, and the specific measurements required determining if the components are good or bad.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
LG's 'OE' means 'drain (Output) error.
I would gently suggest as a first step that you clean the drain motor/pump lint tray/filter. So many 'faults' are caused by blocked filters and many machines will not even go to spin or release the door lock if there is any water still left inside.
Here are my complete and generic guidance notes for checking both the drain motor filter and the drain motor ;-0)
If you are unsure where the filter is, it is often behind the front lower (kick) panel (or in some machines at the rear in an awkward position!). These panels are either held on by (plasic) screws or will just pull off. Most filters are held in by a round cover/knob. Sometimes the filter will not come out with the cover and you will have to persuade it to come out to play.
REMOVE POWER AND ENSURE YOU HAVE A WATER RECEPTACLE/RAGS TO SOAK UP THE WATER WHICH IS BOUND TO POUR OUT.
It's surprising what people have found in theirs! It is always worthwhile checking it on a regular basis.
Now- whilst the filter is removed it is normally possible to see the drain motor and ensure it is not jammed by a foreign object such as a needle or a toothpick. It should be able to be turned by hand/finger- the power IS OFF!
At this point it is also possible to test if the motor works. No clothes or water in the machine, select a spin cycle and put the power back on. You should be able to see the motor turning at some point, possibly straight away. Using something suitable like a glove see if it is easy to briefly slow the motor down. If it is easy then the motor is malfunctioning.
If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck!
