Struggling with F20 error code. Checked that all filters, hoses, air hose, pump filter, pump, door gasket are clean and clear. No siphoning problem because drains to laundry tub next to washer. Replaced the analog pressure switch but still getting F20. Please help! Will replacing water valves and/or water flow regulator help? How can tell if CCU is going bad?

Answer Hello Jean & Howard,
The tech sheet says this about the F20 fault code:
If after 30 seconds not minimum 0.1l of water entered or maximum fill time of 13 minutes is exceeded, the valves will be turned off and the error code will be displayed. Press PAUSE/CANCEL twice to clear the display.
Possible Causes/Procedure
If there is no water in the unit:
Make sure that both valves at the water source(s) are turned on all the way.
Check for plugged or kinked inlet hoses or plugged screens in the inlet valves.
Verify inlet valve operation.
If there is water in the unit:
Verify that the pressure switch hose is in good condition and properly connected to tub and pressure switch.
Unplug washer or disconnect power.
Verify there is not a siphon problem.
Verify wire harness connections to inlet valves, pressure switch, flow meter, and Central Control Unit (CCU).
Check all hoses for possible leaks.
Plug in washer or reconnect power.
Verify pressure switch operation.
Verify flow meter operation by blowing air through the part and measuring the resistance.
Verify CCU operation by running a Diagnostic test or any cycle.
I have found that the flow meter fails very commonly. I would be very skeptical of it. As for your last question, the CCU is tested by running a diagnostic test. This is done as follows:
Starting Error History, Software Versions, and Diagnostic Test:
NOTE: Washer must be empty and the control must be in the OFF state.
Close the door.
Select any one key (except “Stop/Cancel and Control Lock
(EOC)) and follow the steps below, using the same key:
Press/hold for 2-5 sec
Press/hold for 2-5 sec
Press/hold for 2-5 sec
Press/hold for 2-5 sec
Press/hold for 2-5 sec.
Upon release, all yellow/green console LED lights will turn ON for 5 sec.
If there are any failure codes stored by the washer the display shows them.
Note: the last 4 errors will be displayed.
Press the same key to advance to the next code.
After the indication of error codes, the UI, CCU and MCU SW version will be displayed.
The number of cycles since last clean washer cycle is displayed.
All green console LED lights will turn ON for 5 seconds.
Next washer begins the automated diagnostic test.
To cancel out of service mode press “stop” button.
