Frigidaire Washer · Code E11 / E10

Frigidaire Washer E11 code: Fill time too long (front-load)

On Frigidaire front-load washers, E11 (and E10 on some models) means the washer took too long to fill with water.

Most common causes

  1. Water faucets not fully open
  2. Low water pressure
  3. Clogged inlet screens or kinked fill hoses
  4. Drain hose installed too low, so water siphons out while filling
  5. Faulty water inlet valve

What you can safely check yourself

  1. Open both faucets behind the washer all the way.
  2. Check the fill hoses for kinks.
  3. Make sure the drain hose is hooked high in the standpipe and not pushed too far down.
  4. Clean the drain pump filter, since a blocked pump can also let fill water escape.

Unplug the appliance before moving or cleaning anything. Do not open panels, touch gas connections or bypass safety switches.

Can I clear the E11 code myself?

Try these first: Open both faucets behind the washer all the way. Check the fill hoses for kinks. Make sure the drain hose is hooked high in the standpipe and not pushed too far down. Clean the drain pump filter, since a blocked pump can also let fill water escape. Call a technician if water pressure is good and the hoses are fine but E11 continues. The inlet valve may need replacing.
