Error codeE47
ApplianceWasher
Short answer
An open door PTC circuit is what E47 reports on front-load Frigidaire washers. The washers involved are the FAFS4272LR and the FAFW3577KA, which is from an older series.
Sheet wording
FAFW3577KA: in the spin phase the console board reads the PTC circuit of the door as open.
FAFS4272LR: the door PTC sensing reads open.
Action
Each sheet names a test for a technician; owners get nothing to do.
Sibling codes
E48 is the closed reading. E4A is a sensing problem with the door PTC. E43 varies by series between a PTC circuit problem and a locking device fault.

Model compatibility: Frigidaire reuses codes across series and model years, so E47 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
