Frigidaire Error Codes
Pick the code your Frigidaire appliance is showing. Each page explains what the code means, the most likely causes ranked by probability, and which fixes are safe to try before calling a technician.
Frigidaire Dishwasher Codes
- i10 Water isn't reaching the tub fast enough — the under-sink valve, a kinked line, or a stuck float explain most i10 errors before any part needs replacing.
- i20 The unit didn't drain properly — Frigidaire's filters and glass trap clog like any brand's, and the drain hose and disposal connection make up the rest of the usual story.
- i30 Water collected in the pan beneath the tub and the anti-leak response took over — the cause ranges from a one-off overflow or suds episode to a genuine seal failure.
- i60 The water isn't heating the way the cycle requires — the element, its relay, or the temperature sensor is at fault, and all of them are mains-voltage parts for a professional.
- i40 Food soil has built up in the sump and filter to the point water can't circulate freely, and Frigidaire's own remedy is to pull the glass trap and filter and rinse them clean.
- CL The control hasn't sensed the door fully shut and latched, so it won't start the cycle — usually a door left a touch ajar, an item poking past the tub, or a strike knocked out of line.
- PF Power to the dishwasher was cut mid-cycle and it's flagging the interruption — a one-off after an outage clears with a button press, while a PF that keeps returning points at the supply.
- Hd Hd and HO aren't errors at all — they show the dishwasher is pausing to bring the wash or rinse water up to temperature, a normal wait that runs longer the colder your incoming water is.
- LOC LOC means the control lock — the child lock — is switched on, freezing the buttons so the cycle can't be changed or started until you unlock it with the Delay Start pad.
- i50 The control board has flagged a problem driving the wash motor — the circulation pump that powers the spray arms — and because that's a mains-voltage motor sealed under the tub, it's a repair for a technician.
- iC0 The dishwasher's control boards have lost reliable communication — the keypad/display board and the main board aren't exchanging signals — which a power reset sometimes clears but otherwise needs a technician.
Frigidaire Washer Codes
- E11 Your Frigidaire front-load washer opened its fill valve but the water level didn't rise fast enough and timed out — almost always a restricted supply at the taps, hoses, or inlet screens rather than a dead valve.
- E13 Your Frigidaire front-load washer has detected a leak — either water escaping the outer tub or, just as often, an air leak in the thin hose that lets the pressure sensor read the water level.
- E20 Your Frigidaire front-load washer can't pump the water out, almost always because something is blocking the drain path — the pump filter, the drain hose, or the standpipe — rather than a failed pump.
- E21 Your Frigidaire front-load washer is draining, but too slowly to satisfy the control within its time limit — usually a partial blockage in the pump filter or hose, or a drain pump that is losing strength.
- E23 Your Frigidaire front-load washer is reporting that the drain-pump relay on its main control board has failed, or the pump's wiring has come loose — a power reset is worth trying, but the repair is a technician's job.
- E31 Your Frigidaire front-load washer's control board has lost communication with the water-level pressure sensor, so it can't tell how full the tub is — a reset may clear a glitch, but a persistent E31 is a sensor or wiring repair.
- E35 Your Frigidaire front-load washer's water-level sensor is reporting more water than it should — either the tub really is overfilling from a stuck inlet valve, or the sensor is misreading; shut the taps and have it checked before running it.
- E41 Your Frigidaire front-load washer isn't getting a 'door locked' signal, so it refuses to start — often just a door that hasn't latched fully, but a worn door-lock assembly is the most common real fault behind E41.
- E47 Your Frigidaire front-load washer saw the door-lock circuit open during the spin step, so it stopped — usually a door-lock assembly that is failing under the vibration of high-speed spin rather than anything you did.
- EF1 Your Frigidaire front-load washer is flagging a clogged drain pump with EF1 — usually debris in the pump filter or heavy suds slowing the drain, and one of the more owner-fixable codes on the machine.
- EF2 Your Frigidaire front-load washer is detecting excessive suds with EF2 — almost always too much detergent or non-HE detergent, fixed by cutting the dose and running a rinse rather than any repair.
- E14 Your Frigidaire front-load washer can't confirm the detergent dispenser drawer is shut, so it stops — usually a drawer that isn't pushed fully in or a dislodged magnet, not a failed part.
- E42 Your Frigidaire front-load washer finished its cycle but the door lock didn't release, so it reports E42 — a power reset frees most cases, though a worn lock that won't disengage is the usual real fault.
- E52 Your Frigidaire front-load washer is getting a faulty signal from the drive-motor tachometer — the sensor that reports drum speed — so it can't control the spin and stops with E52.
- E55 Your Frigidaire front-load washer's drive motor has overheated and tripped its thermal protection, pausing the cycle — often after very heavy or back-to-back loads, though a dragging drum or failing motor can also be behind it.
- E5B Your Frigidaire front-load washer is reporting that the motor-control board — the electronics that drive the motor — has overheated at its heat sink, so it paused; E5A, E5B, and E5C all mean the same thing.
- E5D Your Frigidaire front-load washer's main control board and motor-control board have stopped communicating, so the machine halts with E5D — E5E and E5F report the same break in that link.
- E67 Your Frigidaire front-load washer's main control board is getting an incorrect supply voltage to its microprocessor, so it stops with E67 — a reset clears a transient, but a persistent E67 is a failing board.
- E75 Your Frigidaire front-load washer can't get a valid reading from its wash-water temperature sensor, so it reports E75 — the sensor sits in the inlet-valve assembly and its failure is an internal repair.
- EB1 Your Frigidaire front-load washer sees the incoming power frequency outside its acceptable range and stops with EB1 — most often because it's running on generator, inverter, or UPS power rather than a clean wall supply.
- EB2 Your Frigidaire front-load washer measured incoming voltage above roughly 130 V and stopped to protect itself with EB2 — an over-voltage problem in the household supply rather than a fault inside the machine.
- EB3 Your Frigidaire front-load washer measured incoming voltage below roughly 90 V and stopped with EB3 — an under-voltage or brownout condition in the supply, commonly caused by an extension cord or an overloaded circuit.
