SOURCE: error 20 on washer its
Take off the front panel, two screws on mine. On the right side you will see the pump with a black drain "boot". We raised the washer onto blocks and put a basin under it to catch the excess water. If you can't drain it, your gonna need a shop vac. There were three approximate 1 1/2" clamps, you'll need a pair of straight and channel lock pliers. (I replaced two of the clamps with radiator clamps to make it easier next time) Once you remove the 3 clamps theres a spring loaded clamp at the top of the boot. Lossen that and remove the boot. There is a plasic seine inside with about 3/8" holes. Clean it out. I found the missing blue sock, a string from a sweatshirt, two wire clamps, a paperclip and $1.26 in change. Check the pump impeller and make sure it is clear ans put it back together. Run a load before rplacing the front panel in case you need to tighten the clamps more. Hope this helps.

It won't drain
If your washer won't drain, check these:
It spins, but doesn't pump
It doesn't spin or pump
It pumps, but the water returns
It spins, but doesn't pump
If your washer spins but doesn't pump the water out, the drain line is probably clogged. In many washers, a small sock or other piece of clothing can get between the clothes tub and the outer tub that holds the water. If the clothing gets between the tubs, it may then get into the drain hose that's attached to the pump--or even into the pump itself. If it's in the pump, you need to remove the hoses from the pump and pull the item out.
To remove the sock from the outer tub port, open the washer's main access panel and remove the large-diameter rubber hose that connects the pump to the bottom of the outer tub. Then, using needle-nose pliers, try to grab and remove the clothing through the port.
Sometimes you can't remove the stuck clothing from below. Then you have to remove the agitator, top of the outer drum shield, and inner clothes tub. This isn't easy to do--and you may need special tools--so you might be happier getting a qualified appliance repair technician to do the job.
If the drain line isn't plugged, the problem may be with your pump. Even if the pump appears to be turning, the internal impeller may be broken. If so, you need to replace the pump.
It doesn't spin or pump
If your washer doesn't spin or pump water out but the motor is running, your washer probably has a frozen pump pulley. If so, you need to replace the pump. To check the pulley, remove the pump from the washer and try to rotate the pulley manually. If it doesn't turn freely--if it's frozen or stiff--replace it.
It pumps, but the water returns
If the water that pumps out of the machine goes back into the machine after the spin cycle, your washer may be siphoning the water from a laundry tub that has a slow drain, back into the washer. The usual remedy for this is to improve the draining of the laundry tub. (Is something stuck in the drain?) Also, check for these problems:
SOURCE: frigidaire-washer Error Code E31 What does this
It would seem that these newer washers respond much like a computer. If you have not tried it, and this works for multiple error messages, unplug your machine, wait ten minutes and plug back in. Often this resets the board and your error will not reappear.
Hello Stephanie - If you are receiving error code E31, first check if it is a false error code by resetting the power to the appliance by either unplugging it or flipping off the breaker for about 30 seconds. If the error code persists, it could potentially mean a number of things: a pressure sensor issue, defective wiring, valve assembly problem and/or control board issue. I would strongly recommend connecting with an expert technician to assist further.
Hello Elizabeth - Typically error code E31 indicates that the pressure sensor is not communicating with the main control board. I would suggest contacting a professional to inspect the wiring between both parts. Depending if the wiring is defective or correct might have to replace the pressure sensor. If it does not correct the problem, the unit may possibly have a defective control board and will need replacing.
