Know Your Frigidaire Washer
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
Top-load models lock the lid during spin as a safety feature, and the lock takes roughly one to three minutes to release after the washer is stopped. Source: Frigidaire - Top Load washer lid will not open
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 not draining. Check whether the washer was moved or the drain hose bumped, then straighten any kink in the drain hose. Source: Frigidaire - Top loading washer is not draining

Care Frigidaire Recommends for Its Washers
- Use new fill hoses with rubber washers, replace flood-safe hoses with standard washer hoses, and run both faucets before connecting to flush debris away from the valve screens. Source: Frigidaire - Laundry Water Supply Guide
- Use the recommended detergent amount and keep dispenser compartments below the max line, since excess detergent slows draining. Source: Frigidaire - What should I do if my washer is draining slowly?
