Frigidaire FTF2140E 3.5 Cu. Ft. Front Loading Washer - Page 2 Questions & Answers
Ftf2140es3 won't completely drain or do final spin.
I have one that does the same thing at times. remove the bottom front panel. You will see a black boot that comes down from the tub. Loosen the clamp on top of the boot. You should be able to pinch the boot and feel something hard inside the boot. Pull the boot down from the tub and put your fingers down inside the boot and pull up the coin collector. It may be full of junk, coins ect. Clean it and replace the boot and clamp. This should help you.

LG stinks too
It is not a poor design its the way we have gone re washing clothes
Old machines washed hotter and with more additives in the powders.
Try using a good strong mix of soda crystals in hot water , pour that into the wash before you switch it on and do a hot wash without any soap powder
Use old fasioned powders for a couple of weeks and do a hot wash once a month with the soda
The constant cool washes leave body fats from the clothing inside the machine as there is no real heat to melt them and no soda in the washing powder anymore to unstick them from the surfaces .
STINKING CLOTHES front loading mach.
One possibility is to not leave the clothes in the washer overnight or they will have a little foul smell to them. We have a Samson washer and it does the same thing and it ranks close to the top on Consumer Reports. If this doesn't help have you tried going to Lowe's and ask someone in the appliance department to see if they can help. You may have already done this but call the manufacturer to see if this is a common problem and see if they have a solution. If they're not very helpful or cooperative let them know you will do a little "free" advertising for them in a nice way of course. I hope this helps. I'm having trouble with a Bissell shampooer not dispensing the shampoo and also not picking up most of the water. It's really aggravating. Have a great evening.
Washer not working properly
The reed switch has been removed from the newer washers of same model. Nothing to do with the switch. Open door and turn the drum. This has happened to me a couple times. If the drum will not turn , try putting a little force on it. Mine acted the same and it was a sock that was stuck. Didn;t know what it was until I removed the boot where the coin trap is . and found a sock hanging down from the tub. stick your fingers up it the tub( with washer unplugged) and check for any material that might be there.
Washer won't spin
Did you check that the door lock switch is working?

If it's not the door-lock switch, you need a new speed control board.
Bad odor
glisten and affreash is the cleaning agents
besides this only way to get smell out is a complete inner and outter tub job but also try leaving both soap dispenser and door open for the air to dry up and vent the washing machine

Do you leave the door open between washes? If not, the innards will stay damp, and you'll get mold.
Pretty much all front-loaders have this problem...
Will not work
You might have to replace the doorlock switch assy. N#7 on
DRAWING here you also can buy the parts you need
Machne beeps and all indicator lamps on right hand column flash
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.
My Frigidaire Affinity washer makes a loud buzzing sound when you push the start button and will not start, what can I do
Good Morning Anonymous, this is Z. I am happy to assist you!
I understand that your door indicates it is open and your dryer will not operate. Let's attempt resetting your dryer by either unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker off. It is good to wait approximately ten minutes and turn on your dryer. Select a normal cycle and verify if your dryer will start. If your dryer will not operate then it possibly have a faulty door lock assembly or a communication problem with the control board. At this point, it would be advisable to contact an experienced appliance repair tech to assist further.
