Frigidaire Dishwasher Error Code E:01

E:01 indicates a faulty pump relay on the power module, which is located in the base of the dishwasher. The power module controls when power is delivered to the wash pump, and a failed relay means the pump cannot be properly switched on or off. This fault is detected internally by the dishwasher's diagnostics and will typically stop the machine from completing a cycle.

A power reset may temporarily clear the error display, but it will not resolve the underlying hardware fault. If the pump relay on the power module has failed, the E:01 code will return once the dishwasher attempts to run a cycle and the fault is detected again. A physical repair, specifically replacing the power module, is required to permanently clear the code.

Repair costs vary depending on the power module part price and whether you hire a technician or perform the repair yourself. Parts alone for a dishwasher power module typically range from $80 to $200, while professional labor can add another $100 to $200 depending on your location and service provider. Getting a quote before proceeding is advisable, as repair cost versus appliance age should be weighed.

The recommended repair is replacing the power module located in the base of the unit. A technician comfortable working with appliance electronics and able to safely disconnect power before servicing can perform this replacement. Because the relay is integrated into the module and not individually replaceable, the entire power module assembly must be swapped out.

It is not recommended to continue using the dishwasher while this fault is present. A faulty relay can cause the pump to behave unpredictably, and a damaged power module inside the base may present an electrical risk, especially if moisture is involved. The unit should remain off until the power module has been inspected and replaced.
