Frigidaire Washer Error Codes — Complete List

Frigidaire front-load washers share Electrolux's code scheme: E11 for a slow fill, E13 for a leak, E21 and E23 on the drain side, E31 and E35 for the water-level sensor, E41 and E42 for the door, and E52 for the motor speed signal. EF1 and EF2 are the clogged-drain and too-much-detergent warnings, and EB1 to EB3 report problems with the mains supply.

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
