what is E20 error code on zanussi washing machine?

E20 is blocked filter. I have been having the same error messages over the past 2 days. On a whim i unscrewed and removed the filter, and it was horribly blocked up. Removed all of the gunk, and et voila. It is working fine

I have the same problem with my Zanussi. I've removed the white filter handle in an effort to access the pump and impeller but there's a bright yellow plug of plastic that won't budge between the filter handle and the pump.

Does it unscrew or should I continue with my efforts to prise it out with a screwdriver?

E20 is a blocked filter/no drain issue.empty the filter bottom right.Also can be because something has jammed in the drain pump impellor.once filter has been removed shine a torch in to the filter housing and with a long screwdriver make sure the impellor rotates.if everything is ok then could be a blocked drain hose,blocked bottom tub hose,faulty drain pump or faulty pcb
