Safety first: unplug the washer (or switch off its breaker) before touching filters, hoses or panels. If you smell burning or gas, or see water near the outlet, stop and call a professional.

How to fix Frigidaire E13

Check for water on the floor
Look under and around the washer for water. If it's near an outlet or the power cord, switch off the washer's breaker rather than touching the plug.
Look for an obvious leak
With the washer unplugged, look for clothing caught in the door seal or tears in the seal, and check whether water is dripping from under the front or the back of the cabinet.
Reset and watch
Unplug it for 5 minutes, then plug back in and run a short cycle.

When to call a technician

A leak from inside the cabinet, or E13 returning with no visible cause, needs a technician to check the tub, the pressure sensor hose and the sensor.
