How do you fix an e5e communication error on a frigidaire washing machine?

Front loader, it will start to barely fill with water and stop. Same with any drain or rinse cycle. The timer keeps going, but it will not move past the first 30 seconds of any cycle.

Washer stopped working, similar to your experience, water would start and stop after a few seconds and not progress. It displayed E5E error when prompted for code. I opened up the back of the machine and noticed that a connector was not connected to the control board, i removed the control board to get a better view of where it belonged, and slid the connector over the control board, closed up the machine and it's back in business.

Hey friend, thanks for your inquiry!

I see your Frigidaire washer is displaying an error code "e5e". However, it appears "e5e" is an invalid error code. Let's attempt resetting your range. You can do this by unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker to the off position for roughly ten minutes. This usually clears false error codes.

If resetting the power does not correct the issue, could you please inform me of the new error code or if your dishwasher continues to display "e5e" you may want to seek assistance from a professional for proper repairs. -Matt

SOURCE: frigidaire front washer has power but won't fill up, drain or go through correct cycles

You'll very likely have something caught in your drain pump. First set the washer to drain and spin. If you hear a hum or grinding noise and the water in the tub isn't draining or it's draining slowly you have something in the pump. If you take the rear panel off you'll reveal the drain pump at the right front corner or maybe middle on this model. if you empty all the water from your machine you can take off the spring clamp (this can be tricky) attaching the thick rubber hose from your tub to your drain pump. (you may want to have some old towels ready) With this off you can feel around for what's blocking the drain pump's impeller. You may want to take the screws out that secure the drain pump to the base and the other spring clamp that attaches the drain hose to the drain pump. Good luck!

I have a front loader frigidaire washer and shows a code ESE... what does the code mean?

This is a communication error between the machine control board and the motor control board. The actual error is E5E not ESE. Anyways, there isn't a way to test between the two parts to see which is faulty so check the wiring plugs on the motor control board and make sure they are secure, if so then replace the motor control board. If that doesn't correct it, then replace the machine control board. From experience, 90% of the time the motor control board is the part at fault

What to do with err code e5e? help

Hi Friend, this is Z. Thank you for your question!

Typically error code E5E indicates that your Frigidaire washer is experiencing a communication problem. Base on the intensity of the issue, I suggest contacting a professional technician to accurately repair your washer. Typically, a technician will need to check the wiring between the main control board and the speed control board. Depending on the diagnoses and if the wiring is bad, it has to be corrected. However if the wiring is good the main control board may need to be replace or if the problem is not corrected, the speed control board is possibly faulty.

The washer drum is hitting in the spin cycle.

When you take off the back panel, check to see if both shock absorbers are intact. We were having some problems with our (ATF6000E) Frigidaire front-loader recently too. I noticed that one of the shock absorbers was broken, for about $25 I got a replacement (two of them, I couldn't find just one). It took about 15 minutes to replace. No problems. With mine, though, I think because the drum was moving around, it dislodged some wires which made it stop filling up with water after a few seconds. I did a test and it said E5E. I would check to replace your shock absorbers before doing any more laundry so your machine will still work and not have other problems like mine.
