Electrolux Dishwasher Error Code i20: Meaning and Fix

A dishwasher reports its fault in the display window, or by blinking a cycle light a set number of times with a pause between groups. Count the blinks and pauses before opening the door. Electrolux uses the same E, F and i prefixes as Frigidaire.

Electrolux builds the platforms behind both its own line and Frigidaire, so its codes line up closely with Frigidaire ones. Look for E codes on laundry, F codes on ranges and i codes on dishwashers. The codes apply to model numbers such as EIDW5905JS, EDSH4944AS and EFME527UIW; check the label on your unit to confirm yours.

What does the i20 code mean on a Electrolux dishwasher?

The tub did not drain in time.

Can I fix the i20 code myself?

Often yes. The most likely repair is the drain / circulation pump, a part most owners can swap with basic hand tools after unplugging the appliance, and it is usually quicker than a service visit.

How do I clear the i20 code?

Switch off the dishwasher breaker or hold Cancel/Drain, wait a few minutes and run a short rinse. If i20 comes back, the underlying fault is still there; start with this: clogged filter.
