Typical symptoms
01i20 appears on the display or through the appliance indicator pattern

01Dishwasher did not drain properly
02A model-specific condition must be confirmed in the official manual
Safe next steps
- 1Stop the dishwasher
- 2Check that the disposer knockout plug was removed if the drain connects to a disposer
- 3Check the visible drain hose for blockage, pinching, or restriction
- 4Confirm the hose is installed at least 32 inches from the floor as Electrolux specifies
- 5Clean the user-accessible glass trap/filter
- 6Clear the code using Cancel, the breaker, or a three-minute unplug only as the model manual permits
- 7Run one controlled test
Step-by-step repair
- 1Electrolux identifies i20 as incomplete drainage. Check the disposer knockout plug, visible drain hose, hose height, and user-accessible glass trap/filter. After correcting an external restriction, clear the code by the model's permitted Cancel or power-reset method and run one test. A recurring i20 needs service rather than a drain-pump replacement based on the code alone.
