Check the part before you book service.

Frigidaire washer error codes are usually grouped by what the machine tried to do: fill, drain, lock the door, sense water level, or balance the load. Start with the simple checks, because hoses, filters, and locks cause more failures than control boards.

Common Codes

CodeMeaningFirst check
E10Fill problemWater valves and inlet screens
E11Slow fillHose kinks and water pressure
E13Water leak or pressure issueDrain path and pressure hose
E20Drain problemDrain filter and pump
E21Slow drainDrain hose and pump obstruction
LOCControl lockHold lock button to clear

Step-by-Step Fix

  1. Reset once. Unplug the washer for one minute. If the same code returns, troubleshoot the system named by the code.

  2. For fill codes, check water supply. Open both valves fully, straighten hoses, and clean the small inlet screens.

  3. For drain codes, clear the drain path. Check the drain hose, standpipe height, pump filter, and pump impeller.

  4. For lock codes, inspect the door. Make sure the strike is not cracked and the latch clicks cleanly.

  5. For pressure codes, inspect the hose. A kinked or clogged pressure hose can report the wrong water level.
