How Frigidaire Washers Are Built
The washer tries to correct an unbalanced load on its own and shows E4 once it has failed three times. Source: Frigidaire - Top loading washer Error Code E4 washer is out of balance

What Frigidaire Says to Check First
- Lid won't unlock. Stop the washer and give the lid lock one to three minutes to release, since the lid stays locked during spin. Source: Frigidaire - Top Load washer lid will not open
- Washer draining slowly. Clear kinks or clogs in the drain hose, check standpipe height and diameter, and cut back on excess detergent. Source: Frigidaire - What should I do if my washer is draining slowly?

What Chelsea Owners Should Know
Most washer calls in Chelsea come down to the same handful of parts: the drain pump and filter, the lid switch or door lock, the drive belt or coupler, the inlet valve and the suspension.
Alabama does not issue a separate appliance repair license, and the state's heating, air conditioning and refrigeration contractor law expressly excludes work on household appliances, residential refrigerators and ice machines.

In Alabama, you can check a license with the Alabama Plumbers and Gas Fitters Examining Board Individual Licensee Search or report a problem to the Alabama Attorney General's Office, Consumer Interest Division.
