Frigidaire Washer Error Codes — Complete List
Frigidaire's front-load washers report faults with E-codes — E11 for a slow fill, E20 for a drain that won't clear, E41 for a door that won't lock — on the Electrolux-built platform these machines share. The verified guides below put the safe owner checks first: the supply taps and hoses, the pump filter behind the lower panel, the door latch, before anything that needs a technician.
- 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 (E24) 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 (E5A, E5C) 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 (E5E, E5F) 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.
Don't see your code?
Two things shift by model: machines without a digital screen blink these codes on the vertical row of status lights instead of spelling them out, and Frigidaire's top-load washers use a different code system entirely. The error-code list in your model's manual — searchable by the number inside the door frame — settles anything not covered here.
