What does the error code mean?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The E14 error code on a Frigidaire washer indicates an issue with the reed switch, which is responsible for detecting the position of the dispenser drawer. The reed switch is activated by a magnet located in the dispenser drawer. If the dispenser drawer is not closed properly, the reed switch will not detect the magnet, triggering the E14 error code.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The reed switch is a small electrical switch that is activated by the presence of a magnetic field. In the case of a Frigidaire washer, the reed switch is used to detect the position of the dispenser drawer. When the drawer is closed, the magnet located in the drawer activates the reed switch, indicating to the washer’s control board that the drawer is closed.<\/span><\/p>\n
