What E31 Means
E31 on Frigidaire front-load washers with a digital display (including Affinity, Gallery and current front-load models) means the water level pressure sensor is not communicating correctly with the control board. Appliance Aid notes it on models with an electronic pressure sensor.
Common Causes of E31
- Failed pressure sensor
- Wiring or connector fault
- Pressure hose disconnected or blocked
- Control board fault
🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try
Unplug the washer for 5 minutes as a reset. If E31 returns, book service.
⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That
- The pressure sensor and hose are inside the cabinet near live wiring.
- Damage caused during a repair attempt may not be covered by your warranty — check your warranty terms first.
Opening a panel to inspect or repair something yourself doesn't automatically cancel your manufacturer's warranty — but it can risk accidental damage, and some manufacturers do have specific service conditions. Check your product's warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.
