Frigidaire Washer E97 Error Code

VERIFIED

Error code E97
Appliance Washer

The washer uses E97 when its console or main board runs into a control problem.

Washers that list it

  • Front load: FAFS4272LR and EWFLS70JRR
  • Top-load HE: FAHE4045QW

What to do

  1. Unplug the washer.
  2. Write the code down.
  3. Have a technician run the numbered test named on the sheet. E93 and E94 use the same one, and no owner is expected to attempt it.

Other board codes

  • E93: worded the same way on the sheets
  • E94: a neighboring board fault
  • E98: trouble limited to the console control
