Frigidaire Washer - ERS Error Code

The washer detected a motor speed sensor fault.

Meaning

The washer detected a motor speed sensor fault.

The Frigidaire ERS error code indicates that the washer’s motor speed sensor (tachometer) is not sending valid signals. The control board uses tachometer feedback to regulate drum speed. If the signal is missing, unstable, or contradictory, ERS is triggered. This is one of the most common motor-related errors on older Frigidaire washers.

Symptoms

  • Washer stops during spin
  • Drum speed fluctuates
  • ERS appears during acceleration

Causes

  • Faulty tachometer
  • Loose wiring to the motor
