You may have to remove the lower front panel to get to the tech manual. If the door latch isn't latching though nothing is going to happen.

Try to clean it out. Pour very hot water over it. It's probably just gummed up. This happens. Is it a drawer type thing. Remove and soak if possible. I need more information before I can help you further. Model, Brand etc.

There are other sites as well.

check the pipes are not blocked and the drain is high enough. the pipe has to be up to about 3 feet then down into the drain. . the pipes sometimes get clogged with hair or stuff. if you take the back off be very carefull as there are things in the back of a washing machine that hold charge and you can get electric shock easily. if you do take the top and back off. spray the pump with WD40 it might be stuck. but be careful do not touch anything in the back.

Check your exit hose spigot, it may be clogged. This is if your filter is all clean. There should be air for passage in the standpipe behind. Your hose should not fit airtight into the standpipe and neither too deep into it. Snaking out your standpipe would be good too.

Rate me pl.....if helped.

yes when the washer sounds like an airplane taking off during the spin cycle, it is a worn rear bearing.
it does happen from the wrong type of soap being used. the suds from regular soap will destroy the seal and allow water to get into the rear bearings causing the bearing to fail and become noisy.
HE type soaps have been recommended by the manufacturer for about 6-7 years now and you MUST use them to prevent this from happening. it can also happen with HE is you just use too much.
now the good news... the inner tub has a lifetime warranty but the outertub, comes with seals and bearings, may only have a 5 year part only warranty.
what you can do is to call frigidaire at the 800# and ask if they can check the warranty for you. a 3 year old and a 5 year old unit might be covered by a part warranty. if so then the labor to replace the tubs will be about 200-300 bucks. i know its a pricey repair but is certainly cheaper then buying a new washer.
by the way, all front load washers will do this if you use the wrong soap.

100 percent absolutely needed. this unit has alot of power and energy when it goes into the final spin. it will get up to about 1,000 rpms and that needs to be contained by the shocks and suspension.
without removing the shipping bolts this unit wont be able to be used.
but the good thing is it will only move about 5 feet as then it will pull the plug out of the wall!! LOL
take out the bolts and plugs and then it should work well for you.

You should return it and not deal with it !!!!!

sounds as if theres something stuck in your drain pump, youll need to remove the lower acess panel(2 screws across the bottom front of unit) you'll see teh pump in the rigth hand corner. i would remove as much water as possible before trying to remove the hose to the pump or you will get soaking wetaferer removig the hose youll be able tro see what trapped in oyu pump preventing free draining.. VERY common problem.DISCONNECT POWER THE DRAIN PUMP IS ALWAYS LIVE!!!!!!!!

You made the right call!
But!
If that does not work then you needs a hands on tech! Sorry
Please give me a rating before you sign off

probaly control bd problem ..call any way to get history started also may consider extended warranty from where you purchased it some other warranty company control may finally go after warranty expires and and extended one would help avoid problems getting coverage for a problem that may be present during original warranty..ever tried convincing company to repair something that was faulty to begin with??

ill save us some time that washer is one of the best out there i have one my self pop me an email at [email protected] and check my4 boxes say in e mail front loader wont spin ill send ya something

Check the strut assembly. also a bad bearing can make banging noise.

How long is the gentle cycle?. I prefer to make my own delicate cycle. I let the machine fill, agitate about 1 min. then turn off and let soak about 15 - 20 min. Make the machine pump out and start spin very briefly. stop machine. let fill up again and repeat to rinse. Don't let agitate for more than 3 or 4 min total wash and rinse don't let spin completely.

Hi again,

Appreciate getting back to me and the direct "Ask Me".

My last response in the Live Session was:

• let's try Plan A first. pls have the unit plug back into the mains, wait for about 10~15 seconds to stabilize electronics, press and hold "options" and "select" buttons continuously for 5~10 sec or until a single beep is heard.

Pls try the above procedures and update soon as convenient.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.

my washer will not drain unless if the boot is squeezed.

Do you mean that after it fills up with water you have to advance the dial for it to start working?if that is so Check the water level switch.Otherwise you may have aproblem with the timer.

Peace Friend,
ngafm At your service!

This is like n error code the only way to find and to repair this is,

First unplug the washer and wait a few minutes then restart it like rebooting your computer when its acting strange!
If it corrects the problem GREAT!!! WE WIN!


If not only a trained laundry tech can make the electronic diagnoses.
Like we used to be able to fix my own cars, but not today they need diagnostic equipment!


How old is the washer?

If the appliance is 10 years old or more you it may not be advisable to put good money into bad!
New appliances are so much more efficient today that they can save you a lot of money in energy!!!!
Water,Electric and detergent! And put money back in your pocket!
The new appliance will pay for itself in only a few years!


You will be fine
Bless You ngafm
