Frigidaire Washing Machine E35 error code

The water-level pressure sensor reports that the washer has overfilled. The control stopped the cycle to prevent a flood.

Also shown as: E35

Last updated: October 6, 2026

Quick answer: Frigidaire washing machine error code E35: washer overfilled. The most common cause is faulty water-level pressure sensor. Try this first — stop the water first. If that does not clear it, clear excess detergent. If the code persists, call a qualified technician.

What causes the E35 error?

  • Faulty water-level pressure sensor
  • Clogged or kinked air trap (pressure) hose
  • Inlet valve stuck open, letting water in nonstop
  • Too much detergent creating foam that fools the sensor
  • Main control board fault

How to fix Frigidaire E35 — step by step

Work through these in order, from simplest and safest first. Stop as soon as the code clears.

  1. Stop the water first
    If water is still rising, turn off both water taps behind the washer right away. Then unplug the machine. This stops an overfill from becoming a flood.
    Safety warning: An overfilling washer can flood a room in minutes. Turn off the taps before anything else.
  2. Clear excess detergent
    Run a Rinse and Spin cycle with no detergent to flush excess soap from the tub and pressure hose. Switch to HE detergent and cut the dose, especially with soft water.
  3. Power-reset and observe
    Unplug the washer for 10 minutes to reset the control, then run a normal cycle and watch the fill. If the water level looks normal and E35 stays away, a glitch or foam was the cause.
  4. Call a technician for sensor or valve testing
    If E35 returns with normal detergent and normal-looking fills, the pressure sensor, air trap hose, or inlet valve needs testing. A technician can check the sensor readings and replace the failed part.

When to call a technician

Stop and call a qualified technician if any of these apply:
  • Water keeps flowing with the washer unplugged (stuck inlet valve)
  • E35 returns with correct detergent and normal fills
  • The pressure sensor or air trap hose needs replacement
  • The main control board is misreading the sensor

Frequently asked questions

The washer keeps filling even when it is off. Is that E35?

Yes. If the washer keeps filling after you unplug it, the inlet valve is stuck open mechanically. Turn off the water taps immediately and call a technician.

Can too many suds cause an overfill error?

Yes. Excess foam raises pressure in the sensing system and the control reads it as overfill. Use HE detergent and measure carefully.

Will unplugging stop the filling?

Unplugging stops an electrically stuck valve, but a mechanically stuck valve keeps flowing. Always turn off the wall taps if water will not stop.
