Frigidaire Washer Error Codes

Frigidaire Washer Error Code E14

If your Frigidaire washer is displaying Error Code E14, it indicates an issue with the dispenser drawer not being closed properly. This error is often associated with models that feature a magnetic reed switch in the dispenser drawer housing, designed to detect the drawer’s closed status.

Troubleshooting Steps:

  1. Inspect Drawer Closure:

    • Ensure that the dispenser drawer is securely closed.
    • Check for any obstructions or items hindering the proper closure.

  2. Magnet Placement:

    • Some models have a magnet on the bottom side of the dispenser drawer. Confirm that the magnet is in its designated position.
    • If the magnet is missing or misplaced, reattach it to the appropriate location on the drawer.

  3. Reed Switch Examination:

    • The reed switch, responsible for detecting the drawer closure, may be defective. Inspect the switch for any visible damage or irregularities.
    • If the reed switch is found to be faulty, it will need to be replaced.

Replacement Procedures:

  1. Magnet Replacement:

    • Acquire a compatible replacement magnet for your Frigidaire washer model.
    • Carefully remove the old or damaged magnet from the dispenser drawer.
    • Attach the new magnet securely in the correct position on the drawer.

  2. Reed Switch Replacement:

    • Obtain a replacement reed switch suitable for your washer model.
    • Disconnect the power supply to the washer.
    • Access the dispenser drawer housing and locate the defective reed switch.
    • Carefully remove the faulty switch and install the new one.

Final Checks:

  1. Drawer Functionality:

    • After magnet and reed switch replacement, ensure the dispenser drawer closes smoothly.
    • Confirm that the washer recognizes the closed status and that Error Code E14 is no longer displayed.

By following these comprehensive troubleshooting and replacement steps, you can address the Frigidaire Washer Error Code E14 related to the dispenser drawer not being closed. If the issue persists or for further assistance, consider consulting a professional technician.
