The ES heading
In the dehumidifier error code guide for owners, ES appears under the heading saying a temperature or humidity sensor has failed.
What owners are told
Book a technician visit. No test is offered for you to run first. A dehumidifier installed 30 days ago or less should be taken up with the installer; for older units, support is where service gets scheduled.
Same heading, other codes
Five more codes share it: AS, F1, F2, L1 and F5. Read F1 or F2 if one of those is what you see. EC is a different case, a sealed system failure.

Model compatibility: Frigidaire reuses codes across series and model years, so ES may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
