What the ER/ER error code actually means

Your Frigidaire dishwasher is displaying an ER/ER error because it has detected a problem with one of its internal switches, which are small components that tell the machine what state it is in or what you want it to do. This could be the door switch, a control panel button, or another operational switch. The dishwasher has stopped working as a safety measure until the faulty switch is identified and repaired.

Questions people ask about ER/ER

What does ER/ER mean on a Frigidaire dishwasher?
The ER/ER code on a Frigidaire dishwasher indicates a switch failure. The control board has detected that one or more switches in the appliance are not operating correctly, sending incorrect signals, or failing to respond at all. The dishwasher will not complete a cycle until the faulty switch or associated wiring is diagnosed and repaired.
Is it safe to use my Frigidaire dishwasher when the ER/ER code is showing?
You should not attempt to run the dishwasher while the ER/ER error is active. The code indicates the control board cannot confirm the correct operational state of the machine, which means it may not be able to safely control cycle functions. Continuing to use it risks incomplete cycles, water issues, or further component damage.
Will resetting my Frigidaire dishwasher clear the ER/ER error code?
A reset may temporarily clear the ER/ER code, but if an underlying switch or wiring problem exists, the error will return once the dishwasher attempts to operate again. Resetting can be useful to confirm whether the error is intermittent or persistent, but it does not fix the root cause. A proper diagnosis of the switch circuit is needed for a lasting resolution.
Can I fix the ER/ER error on my Frigidaire dishwasher myself?
Some causes of the ER/ER error are approachable for a knowledgeable DIYer, such as inspecting and reseating wiring connectors or replacing an accessible door latch switch. However, diagnosing which specific switch has failed requires a multimeter to check continuity across switch terminals. If the control board is determined to be at fault, replacement is more complex and may be better handled by a technician.
How much does it cost to repair the ER/ER error on a Frigidaire dishwasher?
Repair costs depend on which component has failed. A door latch switch replacement typically costs between $20 and $60 for the part, while a control panel switch or assembly can range from $30 to $150. If the control board requires replacement, parts alone can run from $100 to $300 or more, with professional labor adding additional cost depending on your area.
