20 Most Recent Frigidaire FTF2140F Front Load Washer Questions & Answers

Hello 2cats - First, is the drain pump making a humming noise? If so, the unit could possibly have a restriction in the drain line. Try setting the cycle to spin only and verify if water pumps out. Other possibilities could be a faulty door lock, timer, pump, or control board not communicating correctly. In this case I would contact a professional to move forward accurately to properly diagnose and repair the washer.

low temperature and low rpm of motor,must try this.

If the bearing is bad it will likely do one of three things, it can sound like a jet is taking off when your washer is spinning, the rear bearing seal can start leaking, or if it is really bad there will be slop between the basket and tub. Open the door and spin the basket, does it sound like the bearing has gravel in it? Lift on the basket if it has slop between the basket and tub this will for sure cause the banging you are talking about. To verify the leak you will have to pull the rear cover off of the machine and look for grease or water trails running down the rear of the tub. Often times the grease or water will get on the pulley or belt and fling it around the rear of the washer. Hope this helps.

Hello Jennifer Brookman - Unfortunately from what you are describing it sounds like the washer is either experiencing a communication error from the control board or wiring failure. Since you have already tried the basic troubleshooting by flipping the household circuit breaker off, do you notice if the door is securely latching? If it is not, then the issue can also lie with a faulty door latch assembly. I suggest contacting a professional for a proper diagnosis and to move forward accurately.

Does it give any error code, or flashing lights?

Do you notice any error codes?

The washer will not spin if it cannot drain the water. There is a filter in the hose from the tub that leads to the pump. You can access it from the front by removing the front lower panerl. Remove the large, black rubber hose on the bottom of the tub and the filter will pull out. Water will come out, so be prepared!

Have you tied Affresh? That will do the job nicely.

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.

Sure sounds like your timer has bit the dust. I'm not sure if the timer is still available. You have a great washer there. Good luck.

The machine does not exist as you have written it. There are two likely reasons The door switch has failed and hasn't passed the self test procedure. or the control board / timer has failed. Try power cycling it. Remove the mains plug for an hour. It is has an On Off button press it for a minute. For a knob, full it and leave two minutes. Plug back in and try again. https://www.google.com/search?q=Frigidaire+FWAC+19B5MSGNW ..
