Error codeEAE
ApplianceWasher
EAE signals a line safe relay sensing failure. Sensing of that relay has gone wrong, and the control raises the code as a result.
Applies to
Front-loaders on the FAFS4272LR and EWFLS70JRR sheets
Top-load HE washers on the FAHE4045QW sheet
Current series
Owner role
None is listed. The data sheet gives the owner no step and sends a technician to the test it uses for the other supply-side codes. If the washer is misbehaving, switch it off at the plug, keep the cabinet closed and do not open it while it is plugged in.
Washer service for San Francisco and the Bay Area: see Frigidaire washer repair or phone (415) 319-6371. Keep EAE, the model number and notes on what you tried within reach.
Model compatibility: Frigidaire reuses codes across series and model years, so EAE may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
Line safe relay sensing failure.
