Frigidaire Washer E1 Error Code

VERIFIED

Error code E1
Appliance Washer

E1 and the fill time

A top loading Frigidaire washer shows E1 when water either does not come in or arrives too slowly. The code is listed for top loading models.

Frigidaire’s checklist

  • Lid: it needs to be shut.
  • Faucets: both hot and cold fully open.
  • Supply pressure: enough for a normal fill.
  • Inlet hoses: any kinks removed.
  • Hose filter screens: possibly clogged, so detach the hoses and wash the screens.
  • Tub: inspect it for leaking water.

If nothing on the list solves it, Frigidaire’s advice is to book a service visit.

Similar washer codes

  • E11: another long-fill code
  • E3: the lid is up, or its lock gave out
  • E13: water escaping the tub, or air escaping the air bell

Plain language

What this code means

E1 means water is not entering the washer or is filling slowly, so the fill time ran too long.

Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
