SN marks a 60cm machine and SR a 45cm one. Worth checking before ordering any part, because the spray arms, baskets and door furniture differ.
Codes on the Siemens SR, slimline 45cm follow the same Siemens scheme as the rest of the range. Where a code behaves differently on this generation, the code page says so.

- E20The rinsing circuit has reported a fault, and Siemens point at the circulation pump. This is the pump that drives the spray arms, not the one that empties the machine.Get it checked
- E08There is too little water in the machine for it to rinse properly, and Siemens’ first suggestion is not a repair at all — it is how you loaded it.Usually simple to fix
