How to Fix Frigidaire Washer Error EF5

Error Code: EF5 Difficulty: Easy

Problem: NTC temperature for the hot water valve is over the limits.

How to Fix EF5 Error (Step-by-Step)

1. Check that your hot water supply hose is connected to the ‘Hot’ water inlet on the back of the washer.
2. Ensure the hot water faucet is turned on all the way.
3. Verify that your home’s water heater is functioning correctly and set to a temperature not exceeding 140°F (60°C) to avoid damaging clothes and the washer.
4. Make sure there are no kinks in the hot water hose that could be blocking water flow.
5. Disconnect the hot water hose from the washer and check the filter screen inside the inlet port for any clogs, and clean it if needed.
6. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
7. Check for simple blockages (lint screen, drain path, or filter) and clean anything you find.
