do not put too much liquid soap, everything will be ok

Hi
The most common cause of this is the main drum bearing seal has failed and water has washed all the grease out of the drum bearing and knackered it. You will hear a loud roaring noise on the fast spin when this has happened. As it's certainly not a 5-minute-job, it's not economic to have this fault repaired on an older machine if you are paying for the repairs yourself. Get a new machine.
It is fairly unusual for balance weights to come loose as they are usually held tight by locking nuts. I've seen it happen but not very often. Sometimes they break off the drum completely. Symptoms of this are loud knocking noises, the machine attempting to leave the building while on a fast spin and a heavy piece of metal/concrete on the floor under the machine!

Thanks for contacting Fixya.com

Are you talking about the water drain or are you speaking of the fill pipe.

thermostat/ or element//Good luck

The description of Ef 2 is told as error caused of excessive Detergent. Sir, Please consult another expert seperately for code Ed1. To tell, this error code is not described by anyone.

Thank you Sir, Have a nice day.

E20 is a general error code to get to the real problem try this..
Reading Error Codes 1. Wake the washer by pressing any button. 2. Wait 5 seconds. 3. Press and hold the START/PAUSE and CANCEL buttons simultaneously. As long as the buttons are held, the failure code will appear in the display as an “E” followed by two numbers, a number and a letter or two letters. The control will beep and the Door Lock, Wash, Rinse, and Final Spin indicator lights will flash. let me know what code come up... hope it helps

Could be an obstruction in the blower or your motor is burnt up.

Rare cases if you have a control board the relays on it could be burnt

Clothing gets caught in the front of the dryer as it spins. This is leaving black marks and wholes in our clothing.

norm faulty heater/element iff not faulty pcb

The possible problems here are blockages or pump failure. Blockages are the more likely explanation but pumps can fail. If the washing machine will not empty the water out you may also not be able to open the door on some washing machines although these days it's much rarer to have a pneumatic lock on the door due to cost cutting (if a washing machine has a pneumatic door safety lock a rubber hose is connected to the door interlock from the pressure chamber bottle on the tub - water in the tub forces air up this tube and locks the door, which is released when the water is pumped out and the air pressure drops).

if it is a HE kind of machine it is supposed to stop and start a bunch of times at the beginning of the cleaning cycle. Did you wait for a while to see if it ends up running the cleaning cycle?

the new machines are kind of freaky the way they work.

Please leave a fixya rating for my solution.
Thanks.

Remove top cover and look at outer drum, if it is plastic, then it is a complete stripdown of m/c, not recommended unless you really know what you are doing.
If it is a metal outer drum, then it can be done from rear of washer, without too much hassle.
If you are in the u/k, and you need spares, then go to,

Tghanks.

E20 is saying that the water is not draining, locate and clean filter if washer has one, check pump and outlet hose for possible blockage, make sure drain hose is not trapped or restricted in any way.

E20 code on Zanussi washer dryer ZWD1471
washing machine working but dryer is not .

Any advice please

Washer dryers often have cold water valves with 3 separate solenoids. One for the main wash and rinses (which is clearly ok) and one for the condition rinse (to take the fabric conditioner down) which is probably ok too, and the 3rd one is for the dryer. It's possible this 3rd solenoid has failed.

Washer dryers need on a steady trickle of cold water running into the condenser chamber to convert the steam into water, which then gets pumped down the drain.

E20 normally means there is a blockage in the drain tube/filter. I have the same problem, but the drain tube is clear. I have searched the web and found the solution being down to the "plastic bottle-like condensor having debris/fluff in it".
