Frigidaire Washer - E10 Error Code

The washer is not filling with water fast enough.

Meaning

The washer is not filling with water fast enough.

The Frigidaire E10 error code indicates that the washer is not receiving water at the expected rate. This is a general fill error used on many Frigidaire models, especially older Affinity and Gallery units. The washer monitors how long it takes for the water level to rise; if it takes too long, E10 is triggered. This can be caused by low water pressure, clogged inlet filters, or a failing inlet valve.

Symptoms

  • Washer stalls during initial fill
  • Drum fills very slowly
  • E10 appears early in the cycle

Causes

  • Low household water pressure
  • Clogged inlet screens
  • Kinked inlet hoses
