E20

There is the error message "E20" in the display of my dryer.

Issue:
E20 (or 2 beeps as an acoustic alarm in some models) indicates a water drainage or pump problem.
Advice:
Please check correct installation to external drainage if applicable. You can connect an external water hose to a condensation dryer with a water reservoir at the top, to drain the water away straight in the drain. There is a red hose at the top on the rear of the tumble dryer. This hose needs to be disconnected at the top and extended to hang in the drain. The water then no longer gets in the water reservoir but runs straight off via the drain. Please check that the hose does not have any kinks or blockages in it. Try to avoid any loops in the hose, shorten the length of the hose so the nozzle is at bottom of the appliance, otherwise, leakage can occur. If the fault persists, please arrange an engineer visit.
