Kenmore He2 Model 110.47561600 F20 Error Code.
6 minutes into any cycle the washer stops filling and shows the F20 error code. After researching the code I replaced the inlet valve and pressure switch. I confirmed that water is getting into the machine, and drains, it seems fine, when resetting the machine after the f20 code. When replacing the pressure switch I blew into the small hose attached and it didn't seem clogged, though I'm not sure if any resistance should be felt in blowing out the hose - there was some. The drain pump was changed by a service tech. about 6 months ago. Any more suggestions?

If your hoses are the "flood prevention" type they will not work with front load washers and cause the F20.
Water pressure to the washer fine? Try different water temps, hot, cold warm to see if one works and doesn't show the F20.
Here's the repair manual for your model (it says Duet Sport, your HE2t is the same as the Duet Sport made by Whirlpool).
You will need to check your pressure switch on page 5-2.
A few members with this same problem found it was a bad pressure switch.
