What Err means

Err on the display of a Frigidaire Affinity 6000 or 7000 front-load washer says an error has been detected. It does not name the problem itself. The washer has stored a specific E-code in its memory, and that code is read in diagnostic mode. The display covers the 2006 washers and the 3.5 cu ft Affinity washers of about 2009 to 2012. Owners usually see Err when the washer stops or refuses to start. The next step is finding which stored code is behind it, since the repair depends entirely on that code.

Common causes of Err

Whichever stored E-code the control saved
A sensor or circuit that dropped out during the last cycle
Console or board communication

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Turn the washer off and on once. 2. Check the door is closed and the water faucets are open. 3. Try a short cycle. 4. If Err shows again, call us so the stored code can be read. 5. Write down what the washer was doing when Err appeared, and tell us when you call.

! Why to stop there

Err alone is not a diagnosis, and guessing at parts would waste your money.
We read the stored code on site and test the circuit it points to, then give you a written price.
If the stored code shows an older washer is not worth repairing, we tell you.

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

ErrErr questions

Why does my washer only say Err?

The display shows Err when an error exists but is not being shown as a specific code. The stored code has to be read in diagnostic mode.

Can I read the code myself?

Diagnostic mode is meant for technicians, so we do not give a button sequence here. We read it during our visit. It is meant for technicians, so we do not give a button sequence here, and we read the stored code during our visit.

Will the washer work again?

Sometimes a restart clears Err, but the stored code will return if the problem is real. We would rather find it. We would rather read the stored code than let you keep restarting a washer that has saved something.
