Frigidaire Dehumidifier E5 Error Code

VERIFIED

Error code E5
Appliance Dehumidifier

What E5 tells you

Compressor overload protection is active. In the owner guide E5 and H3 share one entry.

Checks the guide gives owners

  • Installation: the dehumidifier needs proper clearance around it.
  • Filter: inspect it, and clean it if it needs cleaning.
  • Room: the temperature should remain between 41F and 89F.
  • Power: unplug the unit and give it time to cool.

If E5 does not clear

Book a technician visit. Within 30 days of installation, go to the installer; later, support schedules service.

Compare

  • F0: a sealed system failure.
  • C5: a control failure.
