• Water is typed too much;
• Liquid is continuously recruited and drained;
• In some cases, it is possible to stop the machine on the rinsing process, spinning does not occur.

Causes of error H20

This code indicates that the washing machine fails to collect the amount of water necessary for the washing process within a certain period of time.

There are several main reasons:

• It is possible that the tap is closed or there is simply no water or insufficient pressure in the water supply. Specialists note that most owners of washing machines do not check the availability of water from the tap.
• It is necessary to clean the coarse screen installed before the priming valve. To do this, the filler hose is unscrewed, then using a pair of pliers, the net is carefully removed and washed under running water.

Important! It is also possible to soak the filter for a quarter of an hour in a container with a solution of citric acid, thus removing not only debris, but also lime plaque.

• The fault can be located in the priming valve itself.
• It is necessary to check the drain hose leaving the bottom of the machine "Indesit".In the washing machine, the error h20 occurs when both the hose and the location of its entry into the sewer are located low from the floor. Remembering the principle of communicating vessels, it is easy to understand why the flooded water immediately drains into the sewer pipe. To eliminate this problem, it is sufficient to fix the hose to the specially designed fasteners on the back of the device. The highest point of the hose should be placed almost on the top of the machine.

Important! If the drain hose is not long enough for such fastening, it can be increased. To do this, you need another hose, adapter and two clamps.

• Simultaneous activation of the priming valve and drain pump is also possible due to malfunctions of the electronic control module.
• The cause can be covered in a clogged pump filter.
• The nozzle must be changed or cleaned.
• There was a foreign object in the drain hose.
• Small foreign objects may appear in the pump itself.
• Litter formed in the sewer or siphon.

If you get an error with h20, do not panic. It can be an ordinary failure, which disappears after the machine is turned off and turned on. Most of the problems associated with this code are minor. Some problems can be eliminated by yourself, for example, clean the filter or attach the water inlet hose. But in some cases, when you need a more serious detail, such as a control module, you should still contact a specialist.
