EA5 on the display tells you the washer failed to sense its main voltage correctly. In plain terms, the control could not read the incoming supply voltage.

Who handles it
The sheet asks nothing of the owner at the machine. It refers a technician to a test shared with the other supply and line-sensing codes, so disconnect the plug before any panel comes off. EA5 sits with the power supply messages and not with the board communication ones.
Frigidaire washer repair for San Francisco and the Bay Area begins at Frigidaire washer repair or (415) 319-6371. Have EA5 and the model number ready, along with notes on anything attempted.
Model compatibility: Frigidaire reuses codes across series and model years, so EA5 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
