Possible Causes of F20 error code:

• Closed or partially closed water faucets: Ensure both hot and cold water faucets are fully open.
• Kinked or blocked water inlet hoses: Inspect the hoses for any bends or kinks that might restrict water flow. Clean any visible debris from the hose screens.
• Low water pressure: Check if your home's water pressure is adequate. You can usually get this information from your local water utility company.
• Clogged water valve inlet screens: The screens at the washer's inlet valves might be clogged with debris, preventing proper water flow.
• Faulty water inlet valve: In rare cases, the valve itself might be malfunctioning and unable to regulate water flow.
• Faulty control board: In even rarer cases, the control board might be misinterpreting sensor readings or sending incorrect signals to the water valve.

Important Note:

Determining the exact cause of the F20 error requires knowing your specific Maytag model and its year of manufacture. Different models might have additional interpretations or troubleshooting steps.
