Reading the dishwasher display

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. Frigidaire models show E, F or i codes depending on the appliance.

Frigidaire is an Electrolux brand and shares platforms with the Electrolux line. Washers and dryers use E codes, ranges use F codes, dishwashers use i codes, and refrigerators show SY codes. The codes apply to model numbers such as FGID2466QF, FFBD2412SW and FFRE4120SW; check the label on your unit to confirm yours.

Questions

What does the i20 code mean on a Frigidaire dishwasher?

The dishwasher could not empty the tub 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 or sump.
