Frigidaire Washer E2 Error Code

VERIFIED

Error code E2
Appliance Washer

What E2 says

A top loading Frigidaire washer shows E2 when the water drains too slowly or does not drain at all. Frigidaire describes the code for top loading models only.

Five checks in Frigidaire’s order

  1. Look at the fuse or circuit breaker.
  2. Measure the standpipe height. Where the washer was installed or moved in the last 30 days, the installer is the one to contact.
  3. Close the lid and press Start/Pause. As a safety measure the washer will not spin while the lid is up.
  4. Take any kink out of the drain hose.
  5. Clear a clogged drain hose.

When E2 does not go away

Inside the first 30 days after installation, go back to the installer. After that, contact service to schedule a visit.

Drain and lid codes

  • E21: water was not pumped out fast enough
  • E23: the drain pump relay on the control board failed, a wire is off the pump, or the pump is defective
  • E3: the lid is open or the lid lock failed
