Reading the washer display

On a washer the code appears on the digital display or as a pattern of flashing cycle lights. Note it exactly, including any dashes or sub-codes, then unplug the washer for five minutes and run a short drain cycle to see whether it returns. Frigidaire models show E, F or i codes depending on the appliance.

Frigidaire is an Electrolux brand and shares platforms with the Electrolux line. Washers and dryers use E codes, ranges use F codes, dishwashers use i codes, and refrigerators show SY codes. The codes apply to model numbers such as FGID2466QF, FFBD2412SW and FFRE4120SW; check the label on your unit to confirm yours.

Questions

What does the E60 code mean on a Frigidaire washer?

Motor current was too high, so the control shut down.

Can I fix the E60 code myself?

Start with the free checks (power reset, connectors, obvious blockages). The likely repair involves the washer drive motor and live-circuit testing, so if the code returns, a qualified technician is the safer call.

How do I clear the E60 code?

Unplug the washer (or switch off its breaker) for five minutes, then plug it back in and run a short rinse or drain cycle. If E60 comes back, the underlying fault is still there; start with this: overloaded drum.
