The final spin cycle would not come on

Hello Noel, welcome to FixYa

Provided the model number indicated is correct the following information should be applicable to your washer.

It sounds like the unit is detecting an unlocked door, loose wire, bad reed switch etc. hence the control will not initiate a hi-speed spin. This can also be the result of an incomplete draining....make sure it is draining correctly before the spin.

I know most folks will rule out the lock initially because the unit does indeed "lock", however, the lock on these machines are a two part device, a set of contacts to lock and a secondary contact to activate hi-speed spin, i.e.


If it does indeed drain fine, then here's the next place I'd direct you to investigate. If it fails to drain, these washers will not spin.

**Unplug the unit from the wall first...safety first**

It will require you to visually inspect the timer connections, thus needing to remove the top panel by way of taking out the screws at the back and sliding the panel back and up.

What to look for specifically is the wire harness fastened to the bottom of the timer securely (the top harness should be black, the bottom white)...I've seen a few vibrate loose or knocked loose on extreme cases, thus preventing the unit from spinning, i.e.



If loose, push it all the way in until it cannot be pulled out with a slight tug ( there are clasp's on the connector as well as the individual wires within it )

If these things can be ruled out, then it is quite likely the door switch (95% of the time), so here's how to change/access the latch assembly...There should be a tech sheet underneath the tub assembly behind the access panel for test procedure of the switch.

**The door latch is likely the single most common fault (which prevent's any spin, and consequently drenching wet clothing at the end of the cycle) with the frigidaire/electrolux built washer's, ASIDE FROM PUMPS BEING OBSTRUCTED.**

You should be able to purchase a door latch assembly at most local brick & mortar stores or on-line part's depot's such as "searspartsdirect.com" "repairclininc.com" to name a couple. They usually sell as part # WH1010003 (at repairclinic.com ) and are relatively easy to replace.

As for replacing said switch, There are a couple ways to access it, through the top and squeezing your arm down the front or the way I prefer, remove the front bellows spring/retainer.

1) **UNPLUG THE WASHER FROM THE WALL OR TURN OFF THE BREAKER.**

2) Remove the spring, get it started where the spring is located with a small screwdriver. Once you`ve got the spring/retainer off ( it comes off and on pretty easy by hand ) pull the gasket/bellows back away from the cabinet.





3) Undo the two screws holding the switch to the cabinet, pull the switch out ( there is just enough slack in the withe final spin cycle would not come on - 46e20c7.jpgt pull too hard ) and swathe final spin cycle would not come on - 95f0559.jpg from the old assembly to the new one and you`re in business.




4) To put it back together, just reverse the removal procedure. The trickiest part is the retainer. Rap the retainer around the boot leaving the spring for the last...and make sure the spring is located at the 6 o`clock position...usually. Just wherever it was initially.

Let me know if you need further assistance going forward or if my instructions are not clear.

Thank's again for visiting FixYa today. Good luck.
