Frigidaire Appliance Company is an American consumer and commercial home appliance brand that is a subsidiary of Electrolux. Electrolux is a multinational company that has holdings in various parts of the world offering customers a wide range of products that are designed for both commercial and residential use.
Frigidaire was founded back in 1918 by Guardian Frigidaire Company based in Fort Wayne Indiana. They were the first to develop the self-contained refrigerator that was invented back in 1918. The company made a name for itself quickly to the point where General Motors personally invested in the company in 1919.
Regardless of how high a company is ranked, or how well the appliance is reviewed, you are at the risk of an error. An error is not here to tell you it’s time to switch out your appliance, it’s a direct signal from the device – one that tells the owner something is wrong with the system that needs to be fixed. So rather than ignoring the error codes, your appliance is showing its time to note down the Frigidaire air conditioner error code and get to the bottom of the problem. To help you out we have listed down the most common error codes of Frigidaire ac.

i Have a error code on a Frigidaire p-tac unit that reads A4. What does that mean?
My frigidaire window ac keeps tripping its cord. When I turn it back on it flashed 22, 44, 77, 88. What does that mean?
I have a Frigidaire 16K window unit that has worked great for about a year, now every 30 minutes to an hour it is in fan-only mode, nothing works on the panel, and the LED displays E8. I press the reset button and it starts over again. It is around 85 – 88 degrees every day now but it does this at night when the outside temp is around 78 – 80 degrees. The fan seems to run well in all modes, nothing blocking airflow and the filter is cleaned weekly. Any help would be appreciated.
I have a Frigidaire Window unit that displays no error codes and will not engage the compressor. Moving the temp setting up and down does nothing. Changing the cooling mode (Econ, Cool, Fan) does nothing. The only thing operating is the fan. We tried shutting off for the evening and restarting in the morning with no change. Cleaned the inside filter, no change. From what is posted here, the “Reset button” is a repower option. Will that reset all the internals? Unit is about 1 year old, the biggest 115V unit made, and worked perfectly last year, and was reboxed and stored inside for the winter.
I have an E8 error code on my 12,000 BTU window unit…what does that exactly mean? The unit is in a sleeve but has airflow as it does not take up the entire sleeve.
Thanks
I have the same problem. Every one hour the unit will stop cooling and be on fan only mode. Apparently this behavior is to protect the unit against excessively high temperatures according to the error code table provided in some places. Will contact service to see what I should do. I bought my AC 3 days ago.
