Frigidaire Washer Error Code E13 — Leak Detected
What this means
The E13 error means the leak sensor at the bottom of the washer has detected water. This could be from a loose hose, worn door seal, or cracked tub.
Step-by-step fix
3 stepsCheck for visible leaks
Pull the washer out and check the floor underneath and behind. Use a flashlight to inspect all hose connections.
Dry the floor, run a short cycle, then check again to find the leak source.
Inspect the door seal
Check the rubber door boot seal for tears, cracks, or debris preventing proper sealing.
Clean the seal with a vinegar-water solution. Wipe dry after every wash.
Check all hose connections
Inspect inlet hoses, drain hose, and internal hose connections for drips. Tighten any loose fittings.
Replace rubber hoses every 5 years as preventive maintenance.
When to call a professional
If you can't find the leak source, an internal hose or the tub may be compromised.
