Model symptom
Frigidaire dishwasher shows i20 and does not drain
Frigidaire documents i20 as a no-drain condition, so first checks stay with accessible disposer, drain hose and filter conditions.
Applies to
Frigidaire Dishwasher Error Codes; US. This page is not a brand-wide diagnosis.
What this symptom can indicate
The dishwasher may show i20, leave water in the tub, or fail to complete the drain part of a cycle.
Checks that do not require disassembly
- Confirm the display reads i20.
- Check that the disposer knockout plug has been removed if the dishwasher drains through a disposer.
- Check that the drain hose is not blocked, obstructed, pinched, or restricted.
- Make sure the glass trap or filter is clear of food soils if safe access is available.
Signs of a safety issue
Stop if water remains, leakage appears, or the code returns after accessible drain-path checks.
Information to collect before calling a technician
Record model label, exact code, standing water level, drain path, filter condition, disposer setup, and resets tried.
