Affinity Washers I have an Affinity washer and I keep getting an E-20 reading.. Any Help will be appreciated

Your pump strainer is plug with change, hair, baby socks hair ties or such. If you have never worked on washers you might ask around for help It is not a job for a newbie. You have take the front off the washer cabinet off and the filter is inside the large boot that attaches to the pump. The here is manual link. http://www.sears.ca/manuals/div-26/26_C970_38927%20%20FAFW351KA_38928%20%20FAFW3514KN_BOM_2009.pdf

Hello - The error code "E20" typically means the water is not draining properly or not pumping out fast enough. Does the washer making a humming noise? If so, either the drain hose may be kinked or the drain in the house is clogged. Once you have confirmed and cleaned the hose and issue continues contact a professional to move forward accurately. The unit may possibly have a faulty pump or control board.

Wait until the washer gets done, and then try unplugging the washer for fifteen minutes.

Ok using those links you should get a lot of help. How to sort your problem.
Often when you do this, and it still doesn't work, assuming it has all been done correctly, Check, check, and check again, then the master controller is most likely to blame.

My daughter's front loader did the same thing, and she cleaned it with a bleach and water solution, then rinsed with water. we were told that you have to keep the door open to keep it from molding and mildewing.

don't know maybe moisture in the eletronics or outlet hose could be blocked, or it is out of balance

error 20 in a general error try to 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.
