How to reseat the dryer on a fgx831cs dryer - Frigidaire FGX831CS Top Load Stacked Washer / Dryer

Good Afternoon Friend,

I understand your Frigidaire laundry center, model# FGX831CS, is not spinning water out of your clothes completely. I see that on the first spin cycle the drum is not spinning and is just making noise, and on the second spin cycle the drum spins to the left very slowly and loudly. First check to see if your washer is overloaded. Try taking some clothes out and spinning them again. Secondly, make sure that the load is not out of balance. Try rearranging the clothes to allow for proper spinning. I ask that you please follow up with a comment on the post, at your convenience, to advise if further troubleshooting is needed or if your dryer status has changed successfully. Hope this is helpful.

-Best Regards-

Unplug the machine and where the lid is latched you can push a piece of wire wire in the same hole it latches through. The wire will bottom out after in the hole about a inch. Push it slightly farther and try raising lid as your pushing. All the lock is is a metal tab that pushes up and down. After time the enclosure it's attached to splits and makes it fail but it can be opened with whatever goes farther in that hole then the latch itself.

You may have a pin hole in the hose. I would replace the hose.

if u have recently replaced the belt, the drum may have come out of the track. i suggest taking it apart and making sure the drum is seated correctly. i had to do this several times to my mothers ge electric dryer.

typically that tag will be on the rim around the inside of DRYER DOOR

Can only guess that the switch you refer to is the timer.
In any case here is an exploded view of the contolr panel
The timer is Item # 1 in the digram and orderable through Sears

HI,does the washer agitate in any of the other cycles? could this be a timer problem? have a nice day

More than likely the Thermistors are blown. They are located on the heating element canister inside the dryer, they are kinda oblong shape with two electrical connections. If you have a multimeter you can check for continuity on the thermistors and the heating element just be sure to disconnect one of the electrical connections on the thermistors and the heating element so you don't get a false meter reading, Thermistors can be purchased from most appliance repair businesses for around $30.

Check the door switch. Turn on dryer as you push in on switch where the door catch is and see if it starts . when closed the pin may not be pushing it in.

If there is no water on the floor, it would have to be that the water entering the washer is going through the drain tube because it is too low, or for some odd reason the drain pump could actually be running, pumping out the water as its entering the washer. If there is water on the floor, there could be a leak anywhere along the drain tubing, the drain pump itself, or even the drum/basket seal.
