Frigidaire Washer Error Code E11
If your Frigidaire washer displays Error Code E11, indicating an extended fill time, follow these detailed steps to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:
-
Check Water Supply Faucets:
- Ensure that the water supply faucets located behind the washer are fully open.
- In winter, be vigilant for frozen fill lines that may impede water flow.
-
Inspect Fill Hoses:
- Unplug the washer and disconnect the fill hoses from the back of the machine.
- Verify proper water flow through the hoses; if flow is insufficient, enlist a plumber to address water supply issues to the faucets.
-
Examine Inlet Screens:
- Check the inlet screens on the water inlet valve assembly for clogs.
- If screens are obstructed, consider replacing the entire water inlet valve assembly instead of cleaning the screens. Cleaning may introduce debris into the valves, causing them to stick open and potentially leading to flooding.
-
Verify Drain Hose Installation:
- Confirm that the drain hose is correctly installed; improper installation can cause fill water to siphon out through the washer drain.
-
Inspect Drain Pump:
- Examine the drain pump for any debris, as items like paper clips and coins can hinder proper drainage.
- Debris in the drain pump may impede the washer’s ability to drain effectively, allowing fill water to siphon out through the washer drain.
-
Additional Considerations:
- If the aforementioned steps do not resolve the issue, it is likely that the inlet water valve assembly needs replacement.
Remember, meticulous attention to each step is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective resolution of Error Code E11. Following these guidelines will help restore your Frigidaire washer to optimal performance.
