What does error code E35 mean on a Frigidaire washer?
Error E35 indicates an overflow condition. The washer's water level sensor has detected too much water, so the machine halts to prevent flooding.
How do I reset my Frigidaire washer after E35?
Unplug the washer for 1-2 minutes, then plug it back in. Run a rinse and spin cycle. If the error returns, there is an underlying issue.
Can a clogged drain filter cause E35?
Yes, a clogged drain filter or drain hose can prevent water from draining properly, leading to overflow detection. Clean the drain pump filter regularly.
How much does it cost to fix a Frigidaire washer overflow error?
DIY repair costs are typically $20–$50 for parts like inlet valves or pressure switch. Professional service can range from $150–$300 depending on the issue.
Why does my Frigidaire washer keep filling with water?
This is often caused by a faulty water inlet valve that remains open even when the machine is off, or a defective pressure switch that fails to signal the control board to stop water flow.
