Comfee Washer E5 — What It Means & How to Fix It
Your Comfee washer shows E5 when the water has filled past its preset level — turn off the faucet, and call the service center as the manual directs.
What this code means
E5 on a Comfee portable washer is the overfill code: the manual gives the cause as "The water fills too much to exceed its preset level", and its only solution is to call the service center for help. The fault is inside the fill system, so there is no owner repair.
Comfee's owner's manual for the CLV09N1AMG and CLV09N1AWW lists E5 as the water filling past its preset level and directs owners to the service center. Other Comfee washers may number their codes differently, so check the table in your own model's manual.
Most likely causes
| Cause | How likely | DIY-fixable? |
|---|---|---|
| Water inlet valve not closing fully | Common | No — technician job |
| Water level sensor or its air hose faulty | Common | No — technician job |
| One-off control glitch | Occasional | Yes — power reset |
What you can try yourself
- Turn off the faucet the washer is connected to.
- Unplug the washer and wait a minute before plugging it back in.
- Run a Spin cycle to empty the tub.
- If E5 returns on the next fill, leave the water off and call the service center.

When to call a technician
- E5 returns on the next fill.
- Water keeps running into the tub with the washer switched off.
- Water has reached the top of the tub or spilled onto the floor.
Typical professional repair cost: Inlet valve or water-level sensor repairs on a portable washer typically run $100—$200 including labor; check your warranty first.
