What it means

This code appears on Frigidaire front-load washing machines built on the Electrolux North America platform and means the washer did not reach the required water level within the allowed fill time. The program usually stops until the cause is fixed, and most cases come down to the taps or inlet hoses. The meaning should be confirmed for your model, and the same number can mean something else on other brands.

Models covered: Frigidaire front-load washing machines (Electrolux North America platform).

Symptoms4

E11 shows and the program stops at the fill stage.
Water enters very slowly or not at all.
Detergent stays in the drawer.
Only hot or only cold water enters when the washer is connected to two supplies.

Possible causes6

One or both taps closed or partly open when the washer uses hot and cold supplies.
A kinked or squeezed inlet hose.
Blocked mesh inlet filters.
Low water pressure.
A drain hose fitted too low, siphoning water out during filling.
A faulty water inlet valve or water level (pressure) sensor.

How to diagnose5

Unplug the washer and open every tap feeding it fully.
Check the inlet hoses are not kinked.
Close the taps, disconnect the hoses and clean the mesh filters at the washer inlet.
Make sure the drain hose is fixed at the height the installation guide requires.
If the fault remains, a technician unplugs the washer before opening it and checks the inlet valve and level sensor.

How to fix5

Open the taps fully and restart the program.
Straighten the hoses, or replace them if damaged.
Clean the mesh filters.
Fix the drain hose at the correct height.
Have the technician replace the inlet valve or level sensor if confirmed faulty, then run a short program to confirm the code does not return.

Frequently asked questions

My washer is connected to one tap only. Can that cause E11?

If the washer is designed for hot and cold supplies and one is not connected or closed, filling can take too long on programs that need it. Check the installation guide for the correct connection.

Is E11 on Frigidaire the same as E11 on Electrolux?

Both washers share a platform and both codes belong to the water intake family, but it is best to check the code against your own washer manual.

Why do you say the meaning should be confirmed?

Sub-code details can differ between Frigidaire models, although checking the taps and hoses first is always safe and useful.
