What the four codes describe
i20, C2, F2 and AL6 are four ways of showing a single condition: the Electrolux dishwasher did not drain completely. The UK support page words it as the water not leaving the tub in the time expected, and ties it to two beeps.
Drain checks, in the order the owner guide gives them
- If a garbage disposer is connected, confirm its knockout plug has been taken out.
- Make sure nothing is blocking or obstructing the drain hose.
- Look for a pinch or restriction in the hose.
- Confirm the hose is kept at least 32 inches above the floor.
- Wash food soils out of the glass trap, the filters and the sump.
Clearing the code afterward
The owner guide offers three reset options. You can press or hold the cancel button, switch the power off at the breaker, or pull the plug and leave the dishwasher unplugged for 3 minutes.
If it keeps appearing
Electrolux support points out that a code does not necessarily mean a part has failed, because blocked filters, drainage restrictions or a recent power interruption can bring it on. When the same code returns after the checks, arrange service.
Nearby codes

Electrolux dishwasher repair in the Bay Area
If i20 will not go away on a dishwasher in San Francisco or the wider Bay Area, call (415) 449-0036 and ask about Electrolux dishwasher repair. It helps to share the exact code, the model number and which of the drain checks and resets you already carried out.
Model compatibility: Electrolux reuses codes across series and model years, so i20 / C2 / F2 / AL6 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
