Frigidaire FTF530E Extra Large 3.1 Cu. Ft. I.E.C. Capacity Washer ENERGY STAR Qualified - Page 2 Questions & Answers
My Frigidaire Affinity washer stopped working in middle of cycle and shows PAU code.
'power strip'!! You can't run a washing machine from a power strip! It pulls far to many amps. Plug into a wall socket on its own.
PAU Error. The PAU, or pause, error usually means that the washing machine cycle was interrupted and was not restarted properly
. If you try to modify the cycle or start a new one before the first cycle is complete, the PAU error will appear on the display.

My frigidaire water filters is stuck. When i push it in, it wont release. How can i remove it?
I had the hardest time getting the old filter out...nothing worked for me; it wasn't frozen with ice as one video suggested, it was just physically stuck. Pressing in I couldn't get the rear latch mechanism to let it go. (even after removing the housing) I ended up:
1) turn off water pressure (maybe this helped some?)
2) removed the 4 screws holding the mounting mechanism to be able to get to the latch that holds the "rooster comb" of the filter.
3) took a hemostat and moved up the latch while pressing the filter in (a bit tough now that bracket wasn't mounted, so nothing to push against
4) it finally came out.
One of the plastic clips on the "rooster comb" actually broke on the filter side, it was likely jambed so I couldn't remove the filter. The replacement filter doesn't have the full "rooster comb" instead just one piece of the "comb" but it seems to hold in place fine, maybe will make it easier to remove (didn't want to tempt fate trying to remove it after I got it in place).
So...I'll try buying a filter that has just one piece comb. Also, the one that stuck had this comb on a slide mechanism that goes up and down (relative to top/bottom of refrigerator) but the replacement has it fixed with no slide...it could be that the slide movement actually contributed to it being stuck, since the mounting plate in the refrigerator also slides up/down in same direction (not sure why 2 pieces both slide, maybe if spring in mounting plate were stronger it would work better but in lieu of changing out the $40 mounting plate, I'll see if this "one piece" comb allows it to be removed with less fuss.
