MY AEG F40650 is flashing error code 20 and will not fill with water. Please can you tell me what this erro actually means. I suspect the electrical inlet valve situated at the tap end of the inlet hose. Is this a common problem? Is there a quick fix?

Hi,
I get this quite often, its usually caused by sweet papers left in my son's trouser pockets!
Easy solution, your pump filter is blocked. There is usually a tube behind a panel at the bottom of the machine, undo this and drain into a suitable container, then unscrew the drain plug and clear the blockage (usually fluff or sweetpapers!). This is probably in your handbook under emergency emptying/drain pump clearing. Beware lots of water can come out!!
