These error code explanations can help you diagnose a problem with your Frigidaire front-load washer. On washers without a digital display, the vertical row of 5 status lights blinks to indicate the first digit of the error code. The Start light blinks a number of times and pauses to indicate the second digit. For error codes that have an alpha character in the third position, the Start light blinks 10 times for A, 11 times for B, 12 times for C, and so on



Code Meaning Possible Cause Possible Parts
E11 Fill time too long Make sure that the water supply faucets behind the washer are fully open. Check for frozen fill lines in the winter. Unplug the washer and disconnect the fill hoses from the back of the washer. Check for proper water flow through the fill hoses. If water flow is inadequate, have a plumber repair the water supply to the faucets. If water flows okay, check the inlet screens on the water inlet valve assembly. If the screens are clogged, replace the water inlet valve assembly rather than cleaning the screens (cleaning could allow debris to enter the valves, resulting in the valves sticking open and causing flooding). Check the drain hose for proper installation. An improperly installed drain hose causes fill water to siphon out through the washer drain. Also, check the drain pump for debris because items such as paper clips and coins can prevent the washer from draining properly and allow fill water to siphon out through the washer drain. If these suggestions don't solve the problem, the inlet water valve assembly probably needs to be replaced Water inlet valve assembly
E13 Water leak in the tub or air leak in the water level pressure sensor air hose Check tub for cracks or leaks such as water dripping from the bottom of the washer tub or a hose. Replace the tub if leaking. If you find no water leaks, check the water level pressure sensor air hose for air leaks. Replace the air hose if it leaks. If the hose doesn't leak, replace the water level pressure sensor because it's not detecting the water level in the washer Outer wash tub, water level pressure sensor air hose, water level pressure sensor
E14 Dispenser drawer not closed Some models have a magnetic reed switch in the dispenser drawer housing that detects whether the dispenser drawer is closed. If the drawer is closed, check to see if the magnet on the bottom side of the drawer is in place. Replace the magnet if necessary. Replace the reed switch if it's defective Dispenser drawer magnet, Reed switch
E21 Drains slowly Check your house's washer drain and the washer's drain hose for clogs and clear any clogs found. Unplug the washer and check the drain pump for a clog. If the drain path is clear, the drain pump usually needs replacing Drain pump
E23 Drain pump relay failed The drain pump relay on the control board failed. Replace the electronic control board Electronic control board
E24 Drain pump relay failed The drain pump relay on the control board failed. Replace the electronic control board Electronic control board
E31 Water level pressure sensor isn't communicating with the electronic control board This error is only on models with a digital display. Unplug the washer and check the wire harness connections between the water level pressure sensor and the control board. If the wiring connections are sound, the water level pressure sensor usually needs to be replaced Water level pressure sensor
E35 Water-level pressure sensor detects overfill This error is only on models with a digital display. If the washer is actually overfilling, check the inlet water fill valves to see if they are shutting off the inlet water flow properly. If they are defective, replace the water inlet valve assembly. If the washer isn't overfilling, the water-level pressure sensor usually needs to be replaced Water-level pressure sensor, Water inlet valve assembly
E43 Control detects a problem with the door lock circuit Unplug the washer and check the wiring harness connections between the door lock assembly and the electronic control board.

E52 Bad signal from the drive motor tachometer Unplug the washer and check the wire harness connections between the drive motor and the motor control board. Reconnect any loose wires or replace the wire harness if damaged. Check the resistance through the tachometer on the drive motor using a multimeter. If you don't measure between 105 and 130 ohms, the tachometer is defective and you'll need to replace the drive motor. The tachometer is built into the drive motor and can't be replaced separately. If tachometer resistance is okay, replace the motor control board Wire harness, drive motor, motor control board
E55 Motor overheating Unplug the washer and remove the drive belt. Spin the motor pulley. If it doesn't spin freely, replace, the drive motor. If the motor spins freely, rotate the large drive pulley on the back of the washer tub to check the spin bearing. If the pulley doesn't spin freely, the outer tub and spin basket usually need to be replaced because a spin bearing failed. If the spin bearing is sound, check the resistance of the motor windings for a reading between 4 and 6 ohms. If the motor has failed, replace it. If the motor is sound, the speed control board usually needs to be replaced Drive motor, Outer wash tub, Spin, basket, Speed control board
E56 High motor current Unplug the washer and remove the drive belt. Spin the motor pulley. If it doesn't spin freely, replace, the drive motor. If the motor spins freely, rotate the large drive pulley on the back of the washer tub to check the spin bearing.
