Possible Causes

Faulty Frigidaire pressure sensor (water level switch), Blocked air trap on outer tub, Pinched or leaking pressure hose, Loose electrical connection at sensor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before accessing the top or control area.

  • Access pressure sensor: Remove the top panel. Locate the round or rectangular pressure sensor mounted near the side wall or control board with a small rubber hose attached.
  • Inspect pressure hose: Check the hose from the sensor down to the air trap on the tub for kinks, cracks, or disconnections. Replace if brittle or damaged.
  • Clear air trap: At the tub end, remove the hose and inspect the plastic air dome/air trap for detergent buildup or lint. Clean thoroughly with warm water and a small brush.
  • Check electrical connector: Ensure the sensor plug is fully seated and free of corrosion.
  • Replace sensor if needed: If E31 persists after cleaning and hose inspection, replace the Frigidaire pressure sensor by disconnecting the hose and wiring, removing mounting screws, and installing the new part.

Improper water level sensing can cause flooding; if you are unsure, consult a professional.
